Wow you must have been desperate.

Should be a good game and expect the Lakers to come out with intensity. I bet they want to erase the memory of the curbstompin on Xmas.

I really hope Kobe gets into a rhythm early in the game, get that shooting hand warmed up early.

Not being a dick to start off, but I really think Kobe needs to take a week off.

In his last 5 games he has shot 37% from the field, 15.8 ppg, 2 rebounds less and 1 assist less than his season averages.

He is not healthy nor is he getting healthy. The Lakers are winning even with him playing poorly so there shouldn't be any worries about their record faltering if Kobe takes some much needed rest.

You don't want these injuries to linger through the rest of the year as they are right now.

A week off is not going to help Kobe's finger at all. The only thing that could help it is surgery and then he would be off for a lot more than a week. That is why he played with it last year and this year.
As for the game I hope the Cavs beat the Lakers again. It will at least give the Cavs fans "something" to hang their hat on when the Lakers win the Championship.

"Yeah the Lakers won the Championship but we beat them down TWICE in the regular season"

The Lakers will win big if the Cavs play defense like they have the past couple of weeks.

Moon will still be out for the Lakers game, the last matchup was possibly Moon's best game as a Cavalier.

He should be back by next Monday.

He also had a twitch in his eye, which also caused him to see the rim as a blur, which explains the shooting.

Thats not why Kobe has trouble seeing the rim its because he has 2 Championship Rings blocking his eyesight and he also has severe hearing problems because he has 2 more Championship Rings stuck in his ears.

Why didnt the rings ever bother Horry, Shaq, and Duncan and just Kobe?

Kobe taking a week off isn't going to do anything for his shooting hand.

Lakers can't afford him missing a long stretch either because they really want home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

As for the game, Lakers by 10 unless the Cavs not named LeBron shoot 135% from the field again.

I don't get why you would throw them on the court, but Cleveland fans have been known to do stupid shit too.
