I like OJ Mayo too, although I think it would be pretty cool if he went to the Wizards that way the Wizards would have Tough Juice and Orange Juice.

reasons why I think we can’t stop chris paul:

He’s super fast and the Lakers all season have been lit up like a pinball machine by fast point guards (i.e. TJ Ford, Janerro Pargo, Rafer Alston, probably Rajon Rondo, and so on)

Chris Paul has lit us up in every game. And pretty badly too. I think one game he had like 30 and 17.

that being said I definately feel confident we can take new orleans considering Lamar can probably nuetralize David West. As long we don’t do nothing stupid like leave Peja open. I expect Kobe to explode in this series. All the attention Chris Paul is getting as being the most exciting guy in the playoffs has got to be getting under his skin.

Kobe,when you retire who do think should be your predecessor(the guy that’s going to take your place),Gerald Green,OJ Mayo(Like this dude)or whoever you think may fit(they’ll be building around Bynum of course but who’s going to be his Robin to his Batman)?

Hey Lakers Nation! I want to thank you all for congratulating me on my first MVP. It was truly a team effort, but it could not have been done without the help of you fans. We’re gonna take this to June fellas!

Love, Strength, and Honor

We really need to come out big in Game 3 and 4. I hardly believe that we’ll able to sweep the jazz. We’ll just have to execute very well. I know it will be a hard time, but we now have a Lion’s heart and so determined to play in June. Like what KB vowed last night. I hope Booz will get cold once again and be in foul trouble in the 1st Q. Probably, 3 quick fouls from Pau and Lamar!!! And Kobe will be unstoppable again!!!

GOODLUCK LAKERS!!!
BEAT UTAH!!!

2 things:
1. The Jazz have been a terrible defensive team this year.
2. Whenever the other team goes on a little run Kobe feels like he has to take over, which results in a terrible shot on at least the next 2 plays which 95% miss. Anyone else notice this?

NO!!!!!

Hey, if San Antonio wins that series, that would be even better for us. They don’t have the personnel to match up against us. I really don’t care, but San Antonio is not looking good right now. If they lose tonight they are done.

I agree with the comment about the lower deck people not putting on their free Lakers t-shirts! What the hell? I guess they’re too cool to be more supportive. The whole arena should’ve been gold! I think if Jack put it on and then got on the mic and said, “Put your Lakers shirts on!” the crowd would’ve definitely followed. Come on Jack… lead the way man!

We don’t need to stop CP3. We should play him like we did during the season… Let him score and cut off his assists. Their two defeats against us were:

1st Game - Lost. It was our 4th game and before we were really us.
2nd Game - We won by 29 points.
3rd Game - Lost. Bynum was out and Gasol just sprained his ankle.
4th Game - We won by 3, but were up the whole game by somewhere around 20, I think, and just let them back in.

So, I’m not worried about the Hornets. We match up with them extremely well. Plus, San Antonio will eventually give them a tough time (will go 6 or 7 games), so they will be beat up by the time they get to us.

If we win this next game and make it 3-0, it should be an easy sweep or will be at least a 4-1 series victory which gives us more rest. So we need this next game. If they win it might push the series out longer because they might get some sort of confidence back. I’m not too worried about it though. Besides, the last Utah game during the regular season was at Utah and we beat them by 11 points without Gasol. Go Lakers!

Yeap couldn’t have said it better, let Paul get his points and be like Velcro against the other 4 as long as the others don’t score it will be good.

I still see San Antonio winning that series.
