He's gonna be fine. No MRI even.


I'm totally shocked he didn't get a wheelchair though. That's what The Miracle would do.

There is a two-week period in JAN (11-22) where five of their seven games are on national TV.

30 games? Is that a record?

Excuses excuses.

Lakers and Blazers will mix it up tonight in game #1.

Go Lakers!

I hate playing Portland. At least we are at home, where we have a chance. We'd lose for sure in Portland.

Dunno what it is about that franchise and especially that building, but they give the Lakers franchise fits.

[Donald]

Also, going to be really interesting to see LO coming off the bench, and I wonder how often we'll roll with the Odom/Bynum/Pau package.

This kinda surprises me. You would think that with all the attention the Knicks have drawn this off season, they would at least put a couple of their games on for the train wreck value. You don't necessarily have to be good to get ratings, just interesting. Heck, even the Bucks and Grizzlies have a game on National TV this year. All they have to do is just talk about Isiah for a couple of hours and throw in how D'Antoni is the wrong fit for the team....or Starbury.

Lakers look great in game #1. Kobe is Kobe. I expect a long season of Kobe vs LeBron arguements.

Oden looks very out of shape. Hopefully his foot injury isnt too serious.

The Suns selling the rights to Rudy Fernandez will continue to be a sore spot for years to come. The guy looks fantastic.

Channing Frye is worthless. Joel Pryzbilla gets on my last nerve. Nice to see KB stick it to 'em.

Ariza seems to have improved in the offseason. I truly hope he can become a lock-down defender.

[Brian in Mesa]

Nice 20 point win.

[TheHopToad]

Greg Oden = Sam Bowie

[Donald]

Bynum looks really rusty, uncomfortable with the ball.

Ariza looked very good.

The Lakers defensively looked incredibly active. Pau was outstanding.

Our bench is unbeliveably deep now. Wow.

[Renz]

The Lakers rule. 'Nuff said.

[LacardJoe67]

Can't wait for tonight's game. Although we are without Camby, I think/ hope we can fair better than the Blazers. here's to a great game!
