Pre-Game Ramble: Lakers Vs. Suns: Friday the 13th Edition

Okay, Laker fans, as we draw closer to the end of the season, and closer to the play-offs, we all understand that every game counts. Lakers have to make this game count as they get ready to play tonight out in the desert. The Lakers get a chance to redeem themselves in a rematch, MVP vs. Score Leader, a test of wills...tonight Lakers vs. Suns.

Lakers are fighting for the 7th seat, after a fourth quarter meltdown and missed opportunity to rise in the playoff standings against the Clippers last night. Lakers are a game and a half, in the 7th spot.

Phoenix Suns are a machine, they got the 2 time MVP Nash, The Matrix Marion, Stoudemire, Bell, and are contenders for the championship....so how are we going to stop them? They have a full team of superstars, we are going to have to claw our way to a win at the ....US Airways Center (Does this arena name change, like every week?), on Friday the 13th, no less. Kwame Brown on the inactive list tonight, still favoring that sore ankle, with Mihm, of course (remember him?), the third inactive player not playing tonight is Aaron Mckee and snowboarding super star Vlade Radmonivich will suit up tonight after returning with limited minutes last night and playing his first road trip since his snowboarding accident.
