Wow. That sucks for the Lake Show. Well, they always have that guy, um . . . Kobe? He’s kinda good. I think they’ll be okay.

Mar.14 at 9:28 pm

RV says:
I’m gonna guess he’ll be out 3 weeks

Mar.14 at 9:47 pm

flo rida evans says:
I remember once when Garnett was stll a Timberpup and during a game he hung a mean dunk on pau like a Hawaiian lei which prompted Kevin Harlan to exclaim(in his own inimitable way),’Que pasa.mi amigo ,que pasa!’Anyhoo….

Mar.14 at 10:10 pm

Aussie Gus says:
I guess its time for Kobe to go back to 50 point games?

Mar.14 at 10:24 pm

Fyan says:
Time for Turiaf….to eat less and play more? But seriously Kobe’s going for another 50pt per game stretch like Gus said.

Mar.14 at 10:26 pm

Eboy says:
That sucks.

Mar.14 at 10:35 pm

calkid says:
time to step up turiaf

Mar.14 at 11:16 pm

RV says:
kobe has always had big games against Houston, so 50 pts may work for the lakers on sunday

Mar.14 at 11:17 pm

hursty says:
yep. hope its just for one game though folks. let htown get the top seed. then the lakers can go on and play well.

Mar.14 at 11:20 pm

hursty says:
houston won the 1st game of the season and tmac had 40+ while battier hit the game winning 3.

Mar.14 at 11:38 pm

RV says:
yeah but yao had 25 in that one, kobe had 45 with 27 FT attempts and Odom didn’t play, then they lost the second game to them.

Mar.14 at 11:44 pm

P-MAC says:
Andrew heal up, Pau heal up, Kobe heal up(finger) and lets just win it all next year healthy… ya Dig! Lakers4life!! (no rush this year, are last title was jus 6 years ago, we can wait lol )

Mar.14 at 11:50 pm

Captain America says:
Let’s hope Pau is back soon. Andrew will need some game ticks to return to form.

Mar.15 at 12:03 am

hursty says:
now we have 2 good rookies filling yao’s place and rafer is playing better. (the last 2 games not counting).

Mar.15 at 12:03 am

chris paul is the man says:
Man looks like thhe rockets on gonna have a 22 streak on sunday against the lakers

Mar.15 at 12:27 am

homie says:
Boo frickin hoo.

Mar.15 at 12:34 am

RV says:
1 rookie hursty, landry will be out until probably the middle of the week…and make that Gasol AND West go down, west messed up his OTHER ankle, he was already nursing a sprain from last week.

Mar.15 at 1:03 am

The Notorious King says:
looks like the spurs are going to win the west

Mar.15 at 1:14 am

Reggie Evans says:
this is some serious bull skit. is houston just going to get to face every good team with a key player missing? don’t give me crap about yao. this just proves how much of a defensive liability he is.

Mar.15 at 1:15 am

Phila says:
dammit, ROCKETS FOR THE WEST, TMAC FOR MVP!!!!

Mar.15 at 1:26 am

Myles Brown says:
Meh.

Mar.15 at 2:45 am

hursty says:
i just like to say to everyone ‘fu(k the police!’. that will be all.

Mar.15 at 3:15 am

lewis says:
@homie agreed. the franchise player jerry west gave you guys went down with a sprained ankle? cry me a river, lakers fans. you guys are marginally below yankees fans, in my opinion.

Mar.15 at 4:57 am

Joe says:
Go suns, going for our 4th consecutive pacific title. sorry Laker fans.

Mar.15 at 5:56 am

hursty says:
haha haha joe. good luck with that mate.

Mar.15 at 5:57 am

hursty says:
the way the suns are playing is UGLEEEY!, not happening buddy. i wish though.

Mar.15 at 9:35 am

Melvin says:
Lakers meltdown? Well I don’t think so.. Its Turiaf’s time!

Mar.15 at 11:29 am

FLUXLAND says:
Have no fear, Holly. This is just part of the plan of ensuring Kobe gets the MVP. We don’t want to hear: “Well, the Lakers wouldn’t have that record without the trade”

@lewis: Jerry West? He quit as Grizz GM in 2007.

Mar.15 at 11:54 am

jeremy says:
they cant afford for players to get hurt…this the west people!!!if you lose 2 or 3 games in a row you are in big trouble…houston has won 21 straight as of right now,and they are tied with LA for home court advantage…if LA loses to houston tomorrow they could be in a lot of trouble…who knows how long bynums gonna be out and if pau pau ends up missing 4 or 5 games they could slip 3 or 4 spots in the west…thats how good the west really is…

Mar.15 at 12:26 pm

RV says:
Reggie , you’re kidding right? Thats why I said before people are actually forgetting Yao went down.

Mar.15 at 12:26 pm

RV says:
It might be a blessing in disguise for the lakers, slipping to 3 or 4 wouldn’t be so bad if they face dallas or phoenix.

Mar.15 at 1:10 pm

Michael says:
I’m not overly worried. This 4 game trip is a bitch, but after they have by far the easiset schedule of all the playoff teams in the west. They don’t have a real tough game until their last two games of the season and by then hopefully both Pau and Bynum will be back. In the meantime Kobe is just going to have to throw a couple of 50’s up there, he gave Houston 53 twice last year so I expect more of the same tomorrow.

HA HA!

speedy says:
I hope he get’s well soon .
The playoffs wouldn’t be as good as they could be without him. A loss for all basketballfans if the best players are out in the playoffs . Hard enough that Yao (and eventually Bynum) is out.

Mar.15 at 4:21 pm

maio says:
Someone needs to go to Popovich’s house an retrieve the Pau voodoo doll!

Mar.15 at 4:43 pm

TADOne says:
Just wait until Bynum gets back!

Mar.15 at 5:21 pm

hursty says:
tad why do u care? arent you a motor city lover?

Mar.15 at 5:39 pm

albie1kenobi says:
oh TAD, what a jokester!

Mar.15 at 5:59 pm

albie1kenobi says:
also i have a feeling that because of the lost to the hornets (especially after regrouping from the gasol loss), the lakers will take the game from houston tomorrow.

Mar.15 at 9:27 pm

William says:
The same Gasol they stole from Memphis, sounds like karma to me.

Mar.16 at 1:25 am

RV says:
memphis GAVE gasol to the lakers, Karma would be if Gay got hurt

Can they 10-day another seven-footer?

Is Shawn Bradley available?

Minute Bol people, respect the 7′6 dudes. bradley is not awkward enough. lol

Mar.16 at 2:47 pm

Get well,get well soon,we hope you to get well…

Mar.16 at 2:58 pm

Darksaber says:
Good, Pau is a crybaby wuss anyway

Mar.16 at 6:13 pm

Eboy says:
Pretty good work by the Rockets this afternoon. 22 and counting. Pretty nice.

Mar.17 at 5:50 am

Todd says:
Why hasn’t anyone noticed that the Lakers will be relying on both soft (Gasol) and unhealthy (Bynum) come playoff time? Shouldn’t that at least be noted? By the way, what happened to Kobe’s injured finger? Todd

Kiran.n7 says:
When is bynum coming back? they said 8 weeks? yeah right!! When drew and gasol come back the lakers will not be stoped

Mar.17 at 8:57 pm

Joey E. says:
God, i freakin’ hate the Rockets.
can a team get any luckier?

Mar.17 at 9:14 pm

jeremy says:
hey Joey E for your information,nobody wins 22 games in a row and gets lucky…get over it

Mar.17 at 10:12 pm

Dacre says:
ITS ALL OK…. Yao Ming set the presedent for Star players going down and their teams then catching fire. Kobe for MVP consideration after they go 6-0.

Mar.18 at 7:31 am

Slobodan Chutzpah says:
Yes, it is really a tragedy that the ridiculously talented Lakers who will only have the best roster in the L for, like, the next half a decade lost one of their players for a few games. I feel for the Laker fans, I really do. Regards, your friendly neighborhood Knick-Man.
