As crazy as this may sound, it feels like opening night for me all over again. I haven't had this much anticipation for a game since then. I've pretty much watched 98 percent of all Lakers games this season but I feel antsy about tonight since Drew is coming back like it opening night. Weird.
I always hated that Billups for Iverson trade. We'd never see Detroit anymore anyway since they'd never get past Cleveland or Boston. With Iverson Denver was in disarray, but with Billups they have one of the players in the league that hurts us most. Not that we can't beat these guys in a series, but they should be a complete afterthought instead of the tougher team they are now.
I wonder how many minutes Bynum will play. It will tough after that long of an absence, all the more reason why it's good he's getting his feet wet now. But Denver is definitely a pretty physical team to come back from injury against.

Kind of like what the rest of the league thinks about us with Gasol. _________________ Only this time, the Lakers fought back for Bryant. They fought with him. And when he wasn’t his best, they had Bryant’s back. Enough is enough, Kobe Bryant finally witnessed his teammates tell the Boston Celtics.
I want Bynym to Punk Birdman and also make old man Carl eat his words on how the "LAKERS are BETTER TEAM W/O Bynum".... Please Bynum Posterize Birdman and do a Bird Dance Past Carl on the Bench...
Welcome back, Andrew Bynum!!! Tonight will be the night Bynum impacts the Lakers and show the NBA a preview of the next NBA Champion. The starting lineup for our Los Angeles Lakers are:
#17 Andrew Bynum
#16 Pau Gasol
#7 Lamar Odom
#24 Kobe Bryant
#2 Derek Fisher
Let the Lake Show Begin!! _________________ 15 NBA Titles!
30 Conference Titles!
30 Division Titles!
Lakers Rocks!
Bynum's return tonight has got me watching the Lakers Rhapsody video on YouTube from last season, great stuff. _________________ "This is a comptitive city.

I've always hated when the games are on TNT, ABC exclusively for this reason. It's distracting to suddenly be shown action midway through the first quarter. It's kind of like putting you in a roller coaster in the middle of the free fall. No time to take that first inhale.
Solution: Space games out a little. Fifteen minutes should do the trick.

The latest the game will probably start will be around 7:50, that's my guess, and I don't see the 76ers and Bulls taking that long. _________________ PSN: T3Fecta
So you think they should not show the end of the previous game?
No, but do what they did a while back and put the game on TBS so we don't miss it. For some reason they do it for everyone else but the damn Lakers.
You really think it's because they don't like the Lakers. It's a time zone issue.
Are you saying that time zones hate the Lakers? I've always thought the same thing, but I can see I'm not alone in seeing the truth behind the time zone conspiracy.
The real solution is to stop with the freaking 30 minute half times and 5 min TV timeouts.
Do that and get the game started immediately instead of 10 after and they should be ok. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest
