Rules of "Injury Reports":
For every player out, add a 2x multiplier for how much harder it is to win that game.
If said player is the team's franchise player, increase multiplier to 3x.
So I'd say we have a chance, well, maybe win. Ok. I mean I hope we win. |

GO LAKERS!
Hope they will finish .500 on the trip!
(A far cry from years ago when expectations were just a tad bit higher) |

Oh gosh I didn't realize this was a 10am game, ugh, we never perform well in these. I fully expect another stunted loss, but thankfully what I expect to happen rarely does!

| So the only player that's worth a damn on that roster is out? Hope they don't manage to screw this one up. |

| The Raptors suck. Can we figure out the offense during this game and start clicking? I'm tired of the Kobe iso, the 'hold the ball for 15 seconds' and the 'dribble the ball for 15 seconds' offense. Feed the bigs, let them go one on one and then, once they come, pass out of doubles. NOT THAT HARD!! |

Blowout loss. If we can lose to NY without Melo and Amare, the Bucks without Bogut and Jackson...no way we win this game. Some guys don't show up on the road while some guys miss every wide open shot given to them. We have the WORST bench in the league. And we play 3 on 5 basketball every night with the PG and SF positions giving us nothing. This team will keep losing on the road until they get a superstar like Dwight or Deron. |

Not even a superstar. Imagine just having a decent PG. |

Can't see the Lakers looking awake until the 3rd quarter, if ever today.
Can't believe the game's in a few hours already, this should be interesting.
Seriously though, should be a W even with it being such an early start and the last game of a long trip. If this is a loss, then I hope they sign Arenas or make a move tomorrow. |

It's a pretty big issue if Bargnani's out and Bayless is doubtful. It means MB figures he can give MWP and Fish lots and LOTS of quality minutes out there to find their games and develop as players, rather than stick old has-beens like Ebanks, Morris, or especially Goudelock out there - players that have obviously hit their ceilings and are on the decline, a fact made obvious by their first turnover.
Who knows? MWP is gonna wear somebody's legs down because he weighs 289 pounds and he might even hit a shot. Hitting any shot will raise his percentage for sure. That's a lot for a coach to consider so it's obvious he needs to play. Fish? You can see by the way he smiles when a bad foul is called on him or he throws a bad pass that he really wants to win and that's an intangible the rookies just don't have. We really can't bench him.
Dead last in the league in 2 categories: Steals and 3 point shooting. I'm sure even more minutes for MWP and Fish will fix all that. Right? |

| Is World Peace still in the starting lineup? Wish he'd get benched after those comments but more so for his (bleep) play. Barnes is better anyways and give Ebanks time as the back up, or Kapono or even Luke a few minutes. Yes that's right I said the L word. All are better than Metta now. |
