Batum back tonight... I think its safe to say...

[MIXUM]

For the first time in quite a while... our whole team is available and ready to play. I dont count webster since hes out till the playoffs and hasnt played all year. It will be interesting to see what this team at full strength can do. Philly will be very tough... for some reason we dont match up well with them.

Batum is back according to quicks blog btw.

So I'm confused. Do you want us to lose tonight or win.

Batum doesn't play for the Lakers.

Actually I'm very happy we have this game with the Sixers tonight. Philly is finishing up a 5 game (I think) road trip and they played last night while we were at home. Philly is also an up-tempo team that should get us in the groove for the Phoenix game Thursday. We got smoked at Philly earlier so hopefully the boys will have revenge on their minds.

I agree. Good post. Should be awesome in a couple games when everyone is back in the groove, Batum is feelin right, LMA is feeling right, Oden is playing more minutes. We are playing some good ball and with players comin' back it should only get better! I'm excited!

I'm a bit worried about this game, but we really need to win this.

Please don't use the word "our" ever again when referring to the Blazers. Laker fans have no ownership in this team. K thanks.

good grief with the same stupid insults every fucking time... give it a rest already guys

I'm looking for Greg to start having his PT ramped up and anxious to see LaMarcus find his game again. At full strength and the playoffs in site, will the club start to smell blood and hammer these lessor teams?

Good to hear about everyone being back. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we can make one strong push over these final 12 games, and get some HCA.

Raef's still part of our team and is injured.

I wouldn't say he's injured...he's still capable of filling the role he's been given this year. Sitting in Arizona and cheering the team on with good wishes.

If Portland wins the championship, LaFrentz will get a ring and well deserved.

I wonder if Stevie Franchise or D-Miles would ask for a ring, too, if we won it all this year since they're on our payroll.

Not on the roster. I think those are the only players who get one automatically. The team can give out others, I think, on a discretionary basis. Somehow, though, I don't think Punisher and Franchise would be getting phone calls in that eventuality.

Yo Darius, I got your ring for you right here....

So does that mean Batum will be starting?
