Most importantly - no more travel until game 3 of the 2nd round. Hopefully Walton's ankle comes good in the next week, but it doesn't sound too good
Thats right mate!!!Gives Kobe time to rest, and Ariza for his ankle , tho it didnt look to sore today!And time for Luke to heal up!!!
Well what a game for us today it still amazes me that we blow teams out VERY VERY easily and early..but then squander them...Hope Phil rectifies this...
And BYNUM WTF????What is he doing???He needs to pull his head out!!!
Here is some highlights for those Laker Fans that havnt seen them....
Oz, Chaddy, Allstarcards(Marcus)Ozguy(Andrew)

YouTube - lakers vs jazz game 5 2009 nba playoffs.. kobe bryant 31 points.. lakers advance.. good bye utah !!
Thanks man!
Gootta love the 'nah nah nah nah eh eh eh GOOOOOOOOOODBYE!' chants!
Favorite was that break Vujacic ran, a little 'behind the back - "all you Kobe", "I'mma take a three, actually - I got you Pau", "thanks KB, I'll take that!".... Showtime all over again!!!
And like I said, bring on the Blazers or the Rockets and it wouldn't hurt if they played a couple more. All the rust on the titanic ain't stoppin' this team.
Rockets v Lakers will be a good series. It will be interesting to see how they handle Yao inside and of course it's always great to bring a guy like Ron Artest to the series.
I think the Rockets are potentially a very dangerous team, they are up 3-1 on the Blazers who are probably the most talented team in the West minus the Lakers and Yao hasn't been averaging over 15 ppg.
Yao, Artest, Scola and Battier aren't a bad core. Of course the Lakers will be the Lakers but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 6 game series, the Rockets actually have guys on the perimter (Battier/Artest) capable of slowing Kobe and they have some decent firepower too.
I'm tempted to say I wish Mcgrady was playing so we could see Mcgrady and Kobe go at it, but if Tmac was playing would the Rockets even be up 3-1?
Yao with 2 early fouls.
Look for the Lakers to take it to the hole and take the lead.
Battier looking like he just called Tyson a p****y....
lmao, he'll need a few stitches, look for ariza in this game! they'll be to kobe weary..
Yeah Kobe's sick apparently and has looked a little flat. With the depth we've got it seriously doesn't worry me though.
Oh man, you think Artest called glass on that one?
Man, bynum should be more agressive with yao on 2 fouls!
He's been struggling to find his groove since he came back.
well the same thing can be said about gasol and odom, both big men, but i only singled out bynum because he is the center.
Yeah I know what you're saying. LO with the early fouls and Pau can't really take it to him if he doesn't have the ball...
