No beer or drinks for Ron this time if he crashes into the stands.

Lock down? he should try integrating into the Lakers' team first.
Though I have not watched his game, my friend told me that he is a team within a team. lol.

DAMMIT!

Thanks, man! I'm all mixed up on this one.

Who do you think the Lakers are going to start tonight?

[Iggyemu]

Hopefully Artest is pissed off enough to take dumb shots that'll enable us to blow them out without Pau in the middle. Gonna be a tough game no doubt. But we are home..they are on a back to back. We need to build on what we did in the past 3 games and beat this team tonight.

yea. i hope artest will take 25 shots and make less than 25%. 0% from downtown. lol.
If artest is what i saw last season, then he probably will not post up so much despite having a weight and size advantage.

will it be ariza or battier on kobe?

battier seems like an obvious choice but if ariza starts off on kobe early, it could disrupt kobe's expectations and make him out of sync. When kobe gets used to ariza, then battier can take over. lol.

[It_Was_Typed]

Can't wait to play the Rockets tonight. I already miss my dude Trev (no Amaechi).

Good luck tonight.

[Aaron Brooks]

No Bird tonight.

[Mr. E]

Hey - to our International posters: what part of the world are you in?

I know that Kam is in some part of Austrailia.

[YaoZaii]

Singapore.

[HTown34s]

over/under Artest gets into it with one of our players.

[aznkillabeezZz]

refs are blind. Artest pushed scola and scola gets the foul. Seriously
