The big news, the only news, really, is that Trevor Ariza will indeed be in uniform tonight. How much he'll actually play remains to be seen, but at the very least he'll play as much as Ira Newble, the guy he's replacing on the active roster. PJ said he's capable guarding little fellas or guys with more size, but given the length of his absence it's doubtful (at least according to Jackson) that Ariza would get tossed out for long stretches against someone like Manu Ginobili. "I'm not so sure that's something I would go with right away. My original thought would be to do something else," he said.
Best pregame moment: Ronny Turiaf emerges from the training room, sees TNT's Craig Sager standing nearby, and nearly bugs his eyes out at the canary yellow pant/belt/shoe combination he's sporting tonight. I have trouble imagining what jacket and tie would best match, and apparently so did Ronny as he walked past the media throng and mouthed "Woah!". As in, "Damn, who I didn't even know that color could be created by human hands."
Good stuff.

I am so ready for this game. Go Lakers!

Is that some kind of gimmick from Craig Sager? Dude wears clothes that I wouldn't dress a dead man in and feel comfy bout later after he's 6ft under!
