Is on later tonight, though not nationally. It's on KCAL for So Cal residents at 6:00, which means it's tape delayed an hour (bah! :disgust: ). If you have league pass you'll get it at 5:00pm though, assuming you're not a So Cal resident.

Malone is back for his first game since knee rehab, and Kobe, Shaq and Payton will play too, marking the first time since December 21st the Lakers have all four of their best players on the court together. KG, Cassell, and Spreewell are all expected to play as well, and the rest of the Tpups (Wally, Kandi, Hudson, etc.) are healthy too.

Should be a great game, possibly a WCSF preview. :D

GO WOLVES! Should be on here too in the midwest I assume. Usually it's on UPN on Fridays. If not, I think Fox Sports Net should have it.

I saw this game coming up and thought that it'd for sure be on Friday Night BBall on ESPN, but they're not showing any NBA games tonight. I'm still hoping for a Kings vs. Lakers WCF. :)

Yeah, me too. The playoffs sucked major ass last year, and not just because my Lakers lost; Webber injured in WCSF. Dirk injured in WCF. Boring Spurs win title.... ;)

Go Lakers! They were on fire when they all played together. Let's see if they still have the magic. Looks like LAL will be playing the Mavs in the first round. Mavs looked pathetic on D against Sacramento last night. Can't wait for tonight's game and better yet, the NBA Playoff Western matchups.

go wolves, go beat up the big bad bullies.

I feel bad that the wolves are probably going to loose as they are slumping (past few games) and the Lakers appear
to have regained there old form (at least the confidence) back.

I hope Wally picks up his game as his integration back into the line up has somewhat disrupted the chemistry of the wolves.

It's a shame too, they have such a good team. The talent in the WC just got so much better this season.

Thought i'd bring this back up since Lakers are hosting Minnesota again tonight. Lakers have to win this to prove they are the team to beat. Minnesota is awesome this year. Hopefully Lakers will whoop them like they did to Sacramento.
