Shaq looked better than expected. Don't know if he can keep it up, but he is a determined and proud guy, so maybe.

Maybe Shaq was pumped up, or maybe he's back to his old self. I think he'll help the Suns more then hurt them.

If Bynum can come back healthy and play the way he did before he went down, then the Lakers will have no problem getting past the Suns.

I posted this in the other thread, but amazing how the negative talk about Gasol has stopped. As much as everyone thinks we over-hyped him, he is playing great basketball and really has fit in flawlessly to the triangle over the last two weeks.
Scary when Bynum returns. Real scary

Great win last night.....the anticipation of getting Bynum back has me all giddy - and is probably giving the rest of the West an ulcer just thinking about it. I just he's able to return to form by playoff time.
The next 5 are relatively easy, although the @Portland game has me worried a bit - they just don't seem to play well there. I'm anxious for the Mavs game coming up - a chance to lay the smackdown on another contender's home court.

Adding Shaq showed it hasn't slowed the team down. The one thing that didn't happen last night is frequent offensive rebounds by the Lakers with second and third chance opportunities. That's always what I had a problem with.

Yeah totally bullshit game. Nothing to do with playoff seeding, tie-breakers or divisional standings.

I love how the bulk of Laker fans have the inability to read.
