We don't have to stop Artest. In fact, we should let him go wild with his 3-point shots. As long as we keep Yao quiet, we should roll over Houston.

Our Big 3 versus their Big 3. I expect Kobe to have the best game of this young season. Bynum needs to take it up strong against Yao early to get him into foul trouble. We have enough big bodies to make life miserable for the undersized Houston team.

Close game but the good guys come out ahead at the end,

104 to 95, Kobe with 48 pts.

lol Artest? more times than not his offense actually hurts his team with his horrible shot selection

Artest usually guards himself by taking his team's offense out of its rythym. I'm fine with him having a ton of touches.

The spelling of "Rhythm" definitely isn't what you'd expect.

Go LAKERS!

If refs have money against the Lakers like the Nuggets game, its over. Rockets way better than Nuggets.

FML! I forgot about the game earlier in the afternoon and promised my girlfriend earlier today that we'd watch the past 6 episodes of How I Met Your Mother, so now I'm going to have to record the game and watch it later on tonight like at 11 or 12

Time to send out a mass text to my friends and tell no one to message me any spoilers!

Kareem getting some love on Fox Sports pregame show, next up is Jerry West.

Rick12322 · Franchise Player Joined: 27 Jun 2005 Posts: 19164

For those that missed it I turned it on just as Norm was saying how Kareem never missed practice and was never late to it.

Rick12322 · Franchise Player Joined: 27 Jun 2005 Posts: 19164

Rick Fox said he only came to the Lakers because of Jerry West.

Is Rick Fox a permanent part of the pregame/halftime/postgame crew now?

Rick12322 · Franchise Player Joined: 27 Jun 2005 Posts: 19164

I think so, he's been on everyone I've seen this year.

I think fox is gonna be gone mid-season I remember them mentioning that, but I think he has been a good addition to the commentary. Also looks like Phil likes Artest, he compared him to Dennis Rodman.

That was a LONG pregame show lol.

I assume they're going to have no choice but to double Ming, so they better rotate out quick on their 3pt shooters--I think even ARtest is stroking it from downtown pretty well these days. They might want to consider putting Gasol on Ming instead of Bynum too--Gasol has done well on him before (and you don't want Bynum in foul trouble). Their fast and penetrating backup point guard Brooks also plays to our weaknesses, so that Farmar/Brook match-up should be interesting.

Andrew has won every tip this year, is that record about to be broken? We'll see shortly.

One reason why Rafor Alston goes off on us is that he utilizes a huge screen from Yao. Let's hope Rafor's off.
