Don't forget to read through the CL Guidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

This is a must win. No excuses. Or else the Lakers are in it deep...

It's my Birthday May 12th we better win

win or go home

We must win, I don't care how, blowout, ugly win with the buzzer, with defense or offense, just do it.

lamar ready to play?!

Anything short of blowing them out would make me worried.

Oh and it says "Sun" instead of "Tue".

We are going to win by 14 points.

116-98 Rockets

i am really worried about this game, majority of our players are completely out of it, while the rockets had that huge confidence boost. i wouldnt be surprised if rockets won, but i want the lakers to win.

I am embarrassed to share Laker fanhood with you.

I dunno what my problem is, but this is the strangest feeling I think I've ever had while following this team for decades. I can't put my finger on it, but my enthusiasm for this game is almost nil. I don't know if it's "so what if they win," or if I'm sort of depressed because their capacity for a lack of passion and intensity has been thoroughly exposed. Dunno. Maybe I'll feel different when the game gets underway. It's just weird.

alot of us are in stun mode right now
lakers arent playing the best ball, when they should be
probably either a top 3 or 4 team right now, and rockets are just breathing breathing behind us.
alot of people here under estimate the job the rockets have done.
they are playing GREAT D, and playing tough. think about it , there center is 6'9 i believe, and he is out hustling our two 7 footers!

hopefully just get a good win today, and then close it out in 6!

Its been a long two days, my friends were talking trash all the time since last game. Time to shut them up Lakers...Put them down early!

I'm expecting Kobe to absolutely take over the game - he's gonna come out and score 20 in the first quarter

and if this happens we will be toast. everybody needs to be involved. i want to see Kobe with about 9 fga's at the half.

Lakers 107 rockets 96

118-96 LakeShow

Kobe Bryant : 42/8/7
Pau Gasol : 28/14/2

everyone thinks we'll just come out like we always do after a loss but early foul trouble could change everything. Lets come out and get it Lakers, no more losses in these playoffs

It's one thing to hope we win tonight in reasonable fashion, but to think we can go 10-0 the remainder of the playoffs given the current play, is a bit unrealistic...just my opinion!

whens the last time any hall of fame player was getting told not to score?? God, its sad!

We will win because I won't watch the entire game from the beginning. When in doubt, I try to watch the entire game and we lose the in the end. It's been the story for this season for me.

I've been to 5 Laker games this year and they lost 4 of them..... That's almost impossible...
Don't worry, I'm not going tonight...

Lakers go up big.... BUT can they hold onto it?

This better be a massive effort and blow-out. THey have to show that they wont get punbked again!!

rockets playing on emotions is done. let get this done lakers.
