Did You Know?
The Lakers are in the 7th seed with their win tonight and Houston and Wolves losing their games today.

I'll say Portland by 5.

Don't forget guys, no Miles for this game. He is still serving out his suspension.

you know how our perimeter defense sucks? NVE and Stoudamire has been on fire with 3 pointers. Thats all i have to say.

Shareef is out, Zach is back

im usually optimistic, but nick the quick might go for 40, and mighty mouse is gonna penetrate more than kobe in colorado

DEVEAN GEORGE IS SUPPOSE TO B BACK THIS GAME!!!!!

Zach, NVE, and Damon will probably all torch us, but thankfully that's all they have. I don't think those 3 can score 100, but with Chucky guarding their backcourt, you never know.

alert the L.A. County Sherriff!!! The convicts are coming to town. Joel Przybilla is a nice fella. Him & Zach will try to bully us down low But LO can get this group in foul trouble with ease. Mighty Mouse is a crafty lil thang, we got this one. and to the Kobe Stopper,

goodie.

Hopefully Rudy stays home so that Mihm could actually be playing in the 4th quarter. More shotblocking and rebounding in crunch time, I could not stress that enough..
