Lakers vs. Magic: Pre-Game Ramble

1-1 with Pau Gasol, the Lakers fell apart on Wednesday against Atlanta, I know there will be some weariness after being on the road for so long, it can be tough. Then there of course is the long list of injuries, including the sore back of Gasol and the pinky finger of Bryant.

Kobe said that in spite of his shooting hand being injured that, "it has improved, and it will take some time getting used to playing with it," when asked if he will be using the same tape job he said, "no, I hated that, I threw that in the trash, it made me feel like a Trekie or something."

We'll have to see what happens tonight; will Phil sit Kobe down for extended minutes, re-arrange the startup, we'll have to wait and see.

Derek Fisher has been playin really well, his career high is 29, in the last 10 games his made 28 (his Laker high), expect a lot from him tonight.

Lakers have won the last 2 @ Orlando...lets make it 3.
