The Lakers also sent the MRI results to Gasol’s personal physician in Spain.

Oh Come LA the Guy Has been Cleared if doesnt start now then he Might never Get to Gell with the rest of His team mates and what better opertunity to do it then on the day his old team and brother show UP so YOU have TO play him. Gasol Not Playing and Resting even More can Hurt the lakers so Put him in the Starting Line Up tomarrows Game
Let him rest as much as possible so you dont have him get injured even worse. Common sense 0828, come on now
Completely agree with Desecrator. Take an extra week or two if you need to. Put pressure on the rest of the team to step it up.
Oh…and Bynum needs to tape up that elbow, rub some dirt on it and get his arse out there and grab some rebounds.
Ditto!
This is not the movie Ghost.
Get out of here
with that ditto gay shit.

But phil said he hopes pau will play and pau said hes no way near close. This is a mess we need everyone healthy man.
WTF your problem Short Dog?
Yeah I’ll take a bullet for Kobe. Remember that comment. Don’t post bull shit on me or you’ll get it right back. It’s Laker Nation sonny all the way.
Don’t hate cause I’m a hardcore Laker/Kobe fan and it shows. Some of you tried to gang up on me but it didn’t work son. Still rocking the Purple and Gold.
Short Dog-What’s up Nation
Gang up on you?? WTF? I never said shyt bout you cept for the Bullet thing and I was being dead serious bout that too. I was actually surprised you said No. But Im good with you man, havent said no bullshyt bout you so I dunno what you talking about man.
It sounded like clowning to me. And, I said maybe for kobe, no for you. Keep this shit Lakers. I’m cool with any and all Laker fans. Not cool with people trying to clown, celtics, and shit talkers. This might be a computer, but you don’t know me. So if you give respect I’ll give respect right back. I can take a joke-but clowning I take personal.
