Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

Kobe will not play tonight's game against the Portland TrailBlazers because of a sprained left ankle. It's the first game he'll miss due to injury since December 8, 2006 in Atlanta.

Official release (Lakers.com):
"Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will miss Saturday evening’s game in Portland due to his sprained left ankle, an injury he originally suffered in Philadelphia on Jan. 29 and that he aggravated against Charlotte on Wednesday."

Opportunity for the Lakers to step it up and gel

Even with Roy out, the way we’re playing now, beating Portland in Portland while missing Kobe is an achievement and potential momentum-changer.

He honestly shouldn’t play again until after the break. Including the all star game, he has to sit that out.

Yeah

Only way he can get Stern’s permission to sit out the All-Star game is if he misses games directly leading up to it.

I doubt Kobe will miss the ASG. He really takes on the mentality that “people come to arenas to watch me play, so its my duty to play all the games that I can” which is why Kobe is always so reluctant to take games off. In part, thats why he plays through so many of his injuries. So many people voted Kobe into the ASG I just can’t envision him not playing, but then again if the ankle injury is serious he just might.

yeah but he isnt really loved in texas....

so i can see him sitting this one out.

I do want him to sit until then, now that I think of it

It’s a very tough stretch of games; and how we perform without Kobe shall be an indicator.

Even without him, we are talented enough to win, and if we flounder massively it might be the final straw indicating we need to shake things up. And, the only way we do win is if the other Lakers step it up to near Championship-level.

i'm glad he's sitting out

though, it’s sad that it would’ve been his 1000th straight game…

Long before there was LBJ, there was another physically talented power forward prowling the hardwood.

This is a great video of one of my favorite players, Chuck, King Charles, Turrible, however you know him, meet him again here. He loved the game, and was AWESOME!
