It has been and will continue to be "Lights Out" for the Lakers at STAPLES Center. . . .?

No, the Clippers don't get to have the "Lights Out".  But as a Laker fan, I really like it because it draws ur attention more to the game.  It's kinda like a spotlight.  The Clippers should think about doing it, but as of right now only the Lakers have it.

G'day aznxgem,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere is no way that you will know which game is best to watch until you see them. Some anticipated games are absolute snoozers while others that don't look much on paper turn out to be absolute snoozers.\n\nHaving had a look at the schedule for January, the most interesting home game appears to be the match against the Miami Heat on January 15 given the Shaquille O'Neal factor and the fact that they are the defending champion. Alternatively, you can use your feminine wiles on your bf to see if there is a match that he is looking forward too.\n\nYou  could try getting cheap tickets but the most desirable matches are harder to get cheap tickets for.\n\nI attach the Lakers schedule for January for your reference.\n\nRegards

I'm a Laker fan but it is going to be tough for them to beat the Jazz in Utah. That is a tough building to win in even when the Jazz weren't playing well. They are firing on all cylinders right now and that is without AK47. Boozer is a monster, Okur is playing well. The Lakers must play an almost perfect game to win this one.

Lakers will come close, but thet won't win. Kobe will have a good game, but that means no one else on the team will have 10 points. Lakers can't handle the Suns.

YEAH I HAVE HEARD OF IT. WONDER HOW PREDICTABLE THEY WILL BE TONIGHT AND EVEN DURING THE FINALS.

Yeah I was watching like every single game until the Lakers got knocked out... Now I'm sortta depressed about the whole thing. It's not gonna get real interesting until the next round. Then comes the finals when things really start to heat up.

No the Lakers won't respond in game 6. This game is proof that if the Suns get their act together they are dangerous. The Lakers are a 1 and maybe 1/2 man team, The Suns have options. I think they have great chance at winning the series. GO BORIS DIAW!!! (as far as that alibi goes for Kobe, did you see that monster hickey on his neck...last i checked wasn't his wife giving birth recently???)

The Lakers are going to have a TOUGH time making the playoffs. \n\n...Oh, and they aren't even the BEST team in Los Angeles anymore. The Clippers have been the btter team for two years.

Haha, that was me about an hour ago (only I used language not as nice as yours). LoL. I think that the quality of play in this series has been badly tampered because of the whistles being blown during the games. Neither team has been able to play to their full potential, and I would've liked to see STRAIGHT UP BALL instead of a free throw bonanza. The Spurs have played as well as they could under the circumstances (give or take a turnover/missed shot here or there) and I am a firm believer that they could come back just like the Suns did the last round.  One thing is for sure: Dallas is LUCKY. This series could easily be 3-1 Spurs, and if they think Game 5 is going to be a cake walk, they are sorely mistaken! Spurs are the defending champs, and they CERTAINLY won't go down without a fight..! How great that fight actually is...? We'll just have to see Wednesday! =)

I think the way the league has been sighting ejections recently, he WILL be suspended. Purposely clotheslining someone certainly would be a good enough reason..! If he DOES have to sit out the next game against L.A, it'll be an uphill battle for the Suns--and I'm not so sure they could pull it off!

I'm so torn... I don't know whether to make the drive to Raleigh to watch the game at RBC or stay in Winston-Salem....\n\nI hope it ends tonight, because if it doesn't, I will have to miss work on Monday and Tuesday for an overnight trip to Raleigh.

No way, the lakers do not have enough fire power. And Lamar Odom is not yet ready for primetime. Maybe next season!

The Lakers and Clippers play at the Staples Center. Their schedules are coordinated by the NBA so they aren't both at home at the same time.\n\nIf the Staples Center were to become unavailable there are several other arenas in the Los Angeles area where they could play. Among them are the Forum in Inglewood, which was the Lakers previous home and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, which was the former home of both teams.

Yes i agree. I have already had a real problem watching NBA because of when the lakers won two championships by drawing fouls and running over people(shaq). Now that i have see first hand the tyranny of the NBA refs, why would i wanna watch a game where the commissioner fines people for no reason. (example Dirk: he was mad at himself no reason to fine him) The commissioner is getting ridiculous but i do agree with fining Mark Cuban, GET OFF THE COURT. \n\nThe refs call fouls for the stars. This fact was very obvious for "the next Jordan" in the whole series but especially last night where at least two times no one touched him at all and he still got the call. It is the same for Kobe and others. I loved seeing the Pistons beat the lakers, they were a true team just like the mavs spurs. It seems the NBA just wants money but no big surprise there.\n\nIf you want a real game I suggest go play pick up ball or watch College because you won't find it in the NBA in any more.
