I saw on ESPN that MWP is expected to play, even though he had meniscus surgery 12 days ago. The guy is nuts (or he's on steroids).

This could get ugly.

Lol roids won't even help that. He's got passion and no one can deny that's his problem is he's just so unpredictable. He's got a lot of Mike Tyson in him. Totally cool one minute, concussing harden the next.

Agreed. But even he if wanted to play, it's only been 12 days, and it's a 6 week injury. I don't see how he could heal that fast... They were certainly questioning it on Around the Horn today.

Ok I hope we fight hard till the end but lose. Tbh I want the Lakers to get on the playoffs, mainly cause of Pau and Kobe, who I like a lot. Also for Nash.
We gotta assure the 5 or 6 worse position for the draft.

He might just go on the court like Kobe did a few weeks ago and realize he can't play in the nba that hurt and sub out. They need all hands on deck so if anything maybe he's doing it for the "meaning" of the act more than the actual boost it would give them on the court.

Let's stick it to the Lakers.

I'm hoping to see AD for more than 17 minutes tonight.

I want a hand in keeping them out of the playoffs. Period.

Yeah, he just scares me on the court. A guy that unpredictable, especially when injured and fighting for the playoffs, could be desperate, and it makes me fear that he's going to cheap shot Davis at some point.

i know people wanna see a lot of AD tonight but i really dont want him to get hurt battling dwight howard for 40 minutes

Nobody said he needed to play 40 minutes. AD doesn't need to be battling Howard. Did he battle Howard much last time? I thought it was mostly Earl Clark.

Should he even play at all tonight then?

Expect to see a lot of favorable calls for the Lakers tonight.

He should be battling Gasol and I think that would be a hell of a learning experience. People dislike gasol bc he's a little soft but he's a great passer, great in the post, fundamentally strong and has an ok mid range shot. I think on another team Gasol is still a top 5 PF.

As usual.

ETA: Hopefully Ryan shoots a little better tonight.

Crawford wouldn't happen to be reffing this game would he?

Not tonight but Tony Brothers sucks too. Not as bad as Crawford but he gets his suckiness on at times too. None of them are to be trusted. :p :hihi:

Isn't this game on NBATV tonight?

It's so ridiculous. Everyday I come across something that says "Will the Lakers make the playoffs?" WGAS.
