do you know the rule of placing people in the d league? do they eat a spot on our roster?

They're still on the roster... Anyone over 2 years experience you need the player's permission

Alright just found out tomorrows game is on TNt whew! Didn't really check the tv schedule b4 thought I was gonna miss the opener.

 

[CHAOSE57]

I'd be surprised if Kobe misses the season opener. He's just bs'ing with this 'injury' IMO

 

[pyboy28]

yeah hopefully kobe plays i have him on my fantasy team lol

 

[CP1708]

Let the dude sit out a couple games to start the year, get that foot 100%. More games sat = less mileage burned up 9 months before we truly need him.

Don't even matter if we lose to Dallas and Portland, bottom line is health. Get that foot as humanly possible to 100% as you can for a 34 year old. Don't have this be something that drags on til January or some crap.

Sit him, let the others blend in and share the ball, Kobe will blend in when it's time.

SIT HIM.

 

[Hunnynutcheerios]

I'm sooo freaking hyped lets go baby game time tnight!

 

[va757va]

BALL NIGHT!!!!!

kobe or no kobe im hyped!!

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

I'm pretty sure Kobe will suit up tonight, thats just the way he is. I can't wait for the season opener and its only a few hours away!!!

 

[menacin methods]

Just realized TNT has 2 Laker haters...Shaq hating on Howard and Barkley hating on Kobe
Shaq is horrible, how much longer will TNT keep him?

 

[flyerthandelta]

KOBE WILL SUIT UP & PLAY idk how ppl doubt this guy thats like saying Batman cant save to Gotham City

 

[CP1708]

Kobe has sat out 4 openers before guys, LA 4-0 in those games. Chill.

im kinda leaning towards him sitting this out , I want to see Nash run the offense with dwight and pau. Kobe will have no problem blending, but the chemistry of that trio would be essential to the Lakers

 

[bigpoint]

I only want Kobe to play tonight cos I'll be at the game. But it's only one game and this year is not about a single game but about #6 and #17!!!

Lets get it Laker fans! Let's take the ship back from Luke and the 2 live crew down south!!

 

[licensed to ball]

I'm with you on that CP, i think Kobe should sit. I mean of course i'll be happy to see him play, but we got a full 82 game schedule this year.
Definitely not necessary to rush back from any injury. Just gotta be healthy once playoffs come.

if it wasnt for his blind hate, i dont think he would be that bad... dude is mad biased tho.. 

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Kobe or no Kobe, the Lakers should do fine. I just want him to suit up and play just to see the starting 5 start off the season together, but theres 81 other games. If Kobe doesn't play, who takes the start? Meeks? Morris?

 

[ag 47]

Gameday! Hopefully Kobe can sit this one out. I'd like to see him get as much rest as possible this year....starting with tonight.

 

[the kobe show]

anyone know when time warner sportsnet will launch on their new carriers? I have fios and have not seen any changes in the channel lineup. it's suppose to be channel 578 for HD but still nada.

 

[frenchblue23]

Sit Kobe if possible, doesn't sound like that foot is any better.

 

[essential1]

I don't know if it has been used, but if not I am copyrighting the nickname "The Ukrainian Usurper" for Slava Medvedenko

 

[run.lmc]

My favorite time of the year, Opening Day I'm so excited to see what this team can do this season. So long as everyone is healthy, the bench produces, and the offense gets set into gear; the Lakers will be just fine here's to a HELL of a season!

 

[badboyf0life420]

Well direct tv has failed me. Hopefully this won't be on going thing like the pac. 12 network.

I kinda think it will be Ebanks honestly. In theory, it keeps Meeks in the spot he's supposed to fill which is SG off the bench. He's a better shooter than Ebanks, so when the bench comes in, you'd rather have Meeks on the floor then Ebanks. Like I said, in theory.

Chances are Kobe plays maybe 30 minutes just to be out there and then gets plenty of bench time. Lets them see how his foot reacts to actual time and what not, if it re-swells, then he sits tomorrow and they start lookin deeper into what's goin on.

 

[percy.]

Been looking forward to this day since we got eliminated from the playoffs. Start of the season! Excited and hoping for a good season from this group!

 

[tennhouse2]

Its time!
