" All right. I'm -- Sparse on me today yeah yeah yeah. Yeah although -- Exactly and make of -- and arm. I beat the Lakers whenever I have six iron there. Yeah what's."

" It's not as much anticipated matchup for the Celtics not go exactly as planned for the purple and gold and despite the loss the Lakers still have plenty to feel good about. An impressive -- a record in Denver good team chemistry that's a great playoff the -- feeling just fine thank you very much tonight you're looking at right back in the win column against -- 76ers we'll bring it all down more. For you -- Right here on Laker -- life."

" Both guys finally opened up here in southern California it is. Is the steadily deteriorated night. It down now laugh at this particular it. Scott plaza across -- they'll -- theatre or at staples center where you don't want north out of the vaunted Sox rampant since Robertson makers live in the tonight -- the Lakers and the Philadelphia seventy sixers."

" And hello everybody welcome on the back. His norm Nixon we're here and it's not targeting all dialed in and happy New Year we haven't seen you since we turned to 2008 I was -- you're always one of by the nice quiet when. -- mind with a fabulous. Excellent so let's talk about the other night briefly before we grinning through reporters who you. Okay what happened against Philly Boston better team right now with the Lakers can put up much typified why but I think. The atmosphere surrounding this game this team has not been in a playoff type situation is a young team and that's what they game was of them and they come loaded. I'm told it's they imploded did not play well they didn't shoot well -- pass well today fell apart and they had. Obviously had a game to live up to the hype but it was a tremendous atmosphere the entire night. If you were here you know exactly what I was talking about time to bring in our reporters and here they are and it's time for storm watch 2008. Not really were talking Lakers 76ers there's Chris the gate we call him here. We're going to hear from him about the seventy sixers in a matter of moments but of course Patrick -- is covering the home team and Patrick they're been some injuries over the last few days for the Lakers town but there."

" All you that I mean you know what Philadelphia's certainly not the Boston Celtics although back in the eighties they were pretty good but the Lakers certainly going to be shorthanded tonight looks like sausage Sasha Vujacic will be out of this game as a left ankle try to practice on the ankle and hurt his back gets back spasms is extremely doubtful Vladimir Radmanovic he hurt his right ankle in practice he's not gonna play tonight and may miss the two game road trip. Next week Chris mamet plays out for at least three weeks he's got some right ankle her -- is affecting is that his Achilles is that all kinds of -- and while Lamar Odom is not injured but his feelings certainly heard -- watch in this game he's not a body becomes of the stadium. Get -- one game suspension without pay for that. Open field tackle on a Ray Allen Lamar Odom are going to Lakers certainly going to miss his numbers. Five of the last seven games. With -- double doubles averaging about fourteen points and nine rebounds shooting about 50% -- talking to the coaching staff for the Lakers here's what they had to do tonight play inside out get Andrew Bynum involved space the floor and back cut his Philadelphia is an extremely aggressive basketball club covering Philadelphia tonight Peter -- and you know what they're making some moves over their Philadelphia what's going on their Chris."

" Absolutely Patrick and -- happy -- you -- when news 76 170 sixers GM at the bonds being dealt Kyle Colbert. To the Utah Jazz in return for Gordon Giricek and a first round draft choice on December 28. His phone blew up ringing off the hook with NBA executives saying. When as the next guy coming who we gonna get this animal thought it was going to be Andre Miller was the -- he came out and he laid all the rumors to arrest he said that trade has really set them up for the summer it's going to lead with ten million dollars in cap space and it reiterated. That Andrei Miller is not being shopped around. Anywhere in the NBA he said he is the -- to this team. One of the best point guards in the -- and -- in the -- he compared -- Steve -- Jason -- what he has -- this year another -- his -- season. Sixteen point four points per game six point four assists he played his high school basketball locally here burba today I talk Andrei before the game that I've been through this before. Cleveland LA it doesn't matter you still have to go out put up numbers hopefully I will remain a seventy -- now billion on these guys started off slow but. The last fourteen games they're nine and five have a rising star on trade. He -- dollar and I'll tell you what. He's someone that's really really good he's a tough guy fun to watch -- a contract season as well but they need to do something he'd get power forward or all star they can't compete east."

" We have a lot of people like you thought they would just basically throw in the towel this year would be the kind of team that could compete and they really are you talked about Andre Iguodala is. -- a franchise player that's really the question. He can do all -- very exciting aggressively go to the basket he can do with flair as we take a look at your real insight we want to talk about Andrei played of course in the Baghdad. Into the guy in the middle Samuel got a bad."

" this -- got suggested that there will do the job this team there was -- about taking the -- dollar. He's shown everybody's always -- this athletic ability that we -- start to show people announce that you can score. From other areas on the court he starts and learn the game that what you where he's just starting hit his stride. I'm Dave Miller. Veteran iron man only missed three games in his -- your career. He's playing the way he's normally play okay minicamp fifteen pounds lighter. Dalembert shot blocker very active over the last eleven games is -- block close to four shots a game -- Kobe eleven rebounds a game. So this is not going to be to -- show everybody at stake is going to be."

" But failing at their upcoming schedule is kind of a make or break time. If they want to four games under 500 right now try to make the move to take a look at this a difficult stretch way you look at his that is different is difficult because you have. More -- you have -- six gave five game little rolled into at home. But they do have an opportunity go five to. Over 500 in this stretch so -- Maurice Cheeks I mean they're going guys. This goes it's a victory because they have an opportunity to make it to the playoffs they would dollar BA franchise got to -- talking about it because supporting I think he's going to be a heck the supporting players talking to some of the coaches and talk to people around they think he's a great player but it they do think that he needs that other guy on the team -- going to take -- Gregory is at Roland here on in the game. You know -- We come back we'll profile tonight's Laker girl funny -- I don't want to miss that that. That I -- Walton. As we return. From Baker's line."

" Okay he -- norm. That's kind of nice time here right now its -- going to be coming up next couple of days but we're couple. Tonight it was this is where we are before each and every home game we have Imus than me -- Combined seed north storming Norman. Nixon as we get that tonight for the seventy sixers and the Lakers it's catch up with the -- he's been a little bit with the injury but now he's back probably. Close to a 100% let's see all about -- he's visiting right now with pets."

" Part of a -- thank you very much all right -- before we get -- serious -- while businessman -- did you look in the short shorts. I have mixed reviews you know I'm glad that we Beckenbauer and organize the normal -- better than year old man all right. Do without me there used to playing those sister you know he. That those -- real quick horse I had time you know goalie in the sun at bat or go to the Tammy -- okay let's talk about this game a -- going to be asked of you tonight with all the injuries this team. The we've got to get back on track after that Boston game and you know unfortunately room undermanned -- a great thing. -- here we feel we have very deep team so. Yeah let's include myself there have to step boat. And in take care who's going to win tonight and Philly you know maybe the record doesn't reflect scrappy team like two runs moment fast yet and they've played very well in the you know you're an NBA fan who wants all the games like you know like we do they have been playing well in -- in a lot of chances have a win in the -- doesn't mean they can't win in -- go like you say good young players -- me hungry to win."

" Arnot thanks go look tonight probably aren't -- from one wildcat to another -- senate across the locker room to christmas gate with sixers. All right thanks Patrick Andre Iguodala you're coming off a thirty point performance have enough anomaly year -- can all."

" Star what's been the biggest difference for you. Well it just didn't coupled with teammates and then. I got a great group of guys who really know me -- that transition to be you know remain scores team and just give me a position that succeed. And you Kobe Bryant share the same agent replica I know he's given you some advice you're the contract -- support your field I don't want to come on -- think I'm going to have fun and you try to make our team better. In trying to mourn for me -- last year and -- comic books what's been the biggest turnaround for the team you're you're 95 in the last fourteen games. I was playing -- defense and I think we're playing more fluid you know I've got to get a better -- you return the you know we a couple -- new additions to the team and I think it is about a month and half the sort of really get a chance to two new guys in we're -- seemed to you know sales for playing well and monuments -- don't agree to just or trade office. Andrei appreciate you stopping by Billy Mack. Has played 272 games he started every single one rising star in the NBA I am just nineteen point two points per game leading scorer on the sixers thank -- Peter."

" You I don't even lead to rising star exhorted them unload a little electrifying players in the place he started in learned a little things about the game now if we -- want to thank our rising stars maybe we can use that term with the Andrew find a middle of it and -- let's -- to win it to an extent aren't settlement. Who will call the game. Glad you got a little bit of velocity again the other night against Boston how average jolt last time these two teams met. Mr. Bynum played very very well and a valid point when you talk about Boston Kendrick Perkins and got bounced around a little -- by Kevin Garnett was trying to remodel the block but the last time -- a long look little we Samuel Dalembert. He was one of those breakthrough games through Andrew Bynum injured himself."

" Very very good game against the sixers in Philadelphia but he really concentrated on a couple of areas you move well without the ball exits. -- the glass. They played a lot of zone that night I don't think they'll play that much zone this evening before he tells the Lakers again is being able to be an inside presence. You don't have that inside presence on talked about it many times. Your outside game is really going to struggled against his sixth 24 points eleven boards. But look at that field goal percentage made ten out of eleven sure a lot of those. On the lots of variety but still they were on the ball into the thing. And he went to work a couple of times against smaller individuals and that's where they have to take advantage he had to work. Against the smaller players and Billy enormous help and Andrew's been in the horse so much recently upwards 353638 minutes because. They're going to need a lot of minutes tonight from Andrew Bynum and by the way when you talk of the rain bill. -- sixteen inches of snow. -- ten above zero I guess we can tolerate the rain that we --"

" I don't -- that you not here for twenty years people free capitalist and nothing like getting to eight inches is no doubt exactly. We still don't understand that great job Tucker gets a little bit of course that's Jo Myers who went. We'll be calling the action for you tonight I now we want to switch gears a little bit because we know they're very popular Laker girls are popular with you and each and every night we try to profile a different one right now we're gonna profile a third year Laker girl is also casual golfer. Take -- guys her name is Jana."

" He left and it was a swing you can come back. That's where said he did okay."

" And we will see more pianist profile. Ted -- on our post game additional Lakers live with that that's what won us the nice -- of this talk about the golf course you can see this way because the teacher was just so happy to be involved. Given and that's it well that's an inside and only you can not -- every take a break we come back up to this it's time for the why don't why there yes. That's Phil Jackson. We're talking to him when we come back."

" There were about. The Lakers did it on tonight of course is an upper Palacio and no one brought you by courtesy Chevrolet. And -- done. To be good game and I Philadelphia seventy sixers aren't kind of pick on your Lakers."

" This of course is Phil Jackson happen any moment. -- I know you don't make resolutions correct we talked about the last year but did you party it up a little bit -- Any single post then -- you there are fireworks 75 feet from my front door and moves like them. The city now. Somebody complained about this -- wonderful fireworks there aren't any other exceptional that's right out the marina and it's just it's beautiful so you kind of took it out and went to the street -- and you can't go to sleep and you could literally shake hands no bugs you -- of events I still have to -- than it was some fireworks went to bed while well done not -- have holidays. Most all of the almost hottest I have post holidays all you do you really. Why it's a -- the just as you suffered right outdoors for how long couple weeks though just less so today. Because we've had so many days off between games is such an awful gave the landscape so sorry baby. I hope no matter who's been the man who. Arm the short shorts let's put this thing the bad that if anything you do with the team losing people are saying that. People say it's the short shorts but lost the game the -- and when I saw the -- on their pants during the game with two in the job. You'll -- like this salt tablets said that screwed up these guys are self conscious you get up leave yourself -- bud. It had nothing to do with the that it had nothing to do that. But they were self cuts that's that targeted their Michelin how big was the only when the looked -- know like a diaper on don't. The real problem with -- still people remember those shorts is that those shorts for tight -- the thighs were like -- yield on the it's. -- people that -- biker shorts underneath no looked ugly I was like mistake what and a chuckle about -- a few days practice the -- to work on. How would you guys hurt. And how exactly was model comes back indeed you've gotten I don't know guys is scattered practice -- try to build the intensity level try to build up pressure defense up a little bit on the you know maybe -- too hard guys weren't I think they had holidays they were think in the ill enough playing the Friday where we're practicing. And as a consequence guys we missed this it was you'll Sasha and in the lobby of the two guys that they'll -- that hurt this. These practices but he'll hopefully such -- play little bits of it what is the biggest lesson learned the other night but the Celtics working over a little bit. Don't let marketing decisions like sure sure -- that was fun and -- reality is is it you know if Kobe and Lamar not shooting the ball well. Do we have a chance to win do we still play without them -- we survived game in Philadelphia Kobe shot poorly. We want to be there in Philadelphia we have in the past when two of you three guys don't -- well you didn't do you have -- little bit of a problem hander did participate in the ball game they give ball you know that that changes it up a lot you don't post play why. Did they just took him out of that or do you think it was a personal thing I mean what what would you -- happened where'd where'd that come from you know he'd lost the ball couple times again foul trouble yet this I'm comfortable out there on the block -- Buehrle did have enough touches to two figures in the game that was partially. Because we were taken shots were too tough and they are making it tough to throw in the post game one quick line on the Andre Iguodala led to Philadelphia seventy sixers they stay in ball games. His team's surprising people in the NBA because -- and stay in the ball games are willing games it. A lot of people Gooden thought they would be at this level they're playing pretty well. By the way if the holidays continues we're here for -- all of us in the remember it's you know we're consider -- Until Jackson."

" He's ready to go or favorite we come back after this it's Colby Bryant talking and norm Nixon as we get set for the sixers. And Lakers -- going to. Lakers live is being brought to -- courtesy Chevrolet in the fountain of auto mall. Courtesy means a great deal and more. And -- crowd diamond the king of credit. At crown diamonds that it is 33."

" Legacy lives being brought you by you're southern California ball."

" We like to drive being brought -- by. Your southern California Ford dealers. He was news that dusty Ford dealers dot com. And -- We're back here at staples center. Tonight's Laker moment is being sponsored. Bud Miller --"

" Tonight's Laker game celebrates the 1982 NBA championship. The 198182 seasons saw the start -- up pat Riley era. Winning seventeen in the first play games at the -- they seem to be a perfect fit for the showtime Lakers. Taking the Pacific division title Los Angeles face the Philadelphia seventy sixers in the NBA finals. Despite splitting the first two games the Lakers prevailed in the series four games to two. -- Riley's first title as head coach and the Lakers second title in three years."

" Can't be sure to look for select Laker legend Johnny impact coaches -- 24 outs collectible camp where they celebrated. Miller -- right. It's a good golf and by the way I'm sitting after a very bitter man right now I'm I really bitter mister chairman and you run that team and I go to your highlight -- a lot of points and -- Jeff I know he's there he's I haven't talked to these Lakers about that. At a good time that those aren't good time but -- I'm dying have a good time watching Kobe Bryant had a chance talked to. Hours evidence average over you know inquiring minds want to know about those joints. Who has flied out about the insurance last year."

" All right Kobe you guys win ritual last game in which you know you -- when short -- so we hosted a show us again in time -- Soriano now may we -- hot pants but that lady's want to know -- that was discussed. In the disgusted because there. That's the Oregon in the Boston game in light of the -- was as one of 82 but it was a big game for you guys who would that you guys take from that loss."

" Nothing got news is one of those days where it was hello and whose move toward full agreement --"

" Well how how well we talked about it deep as an intensive there was a team ready for that type a deep as an intensity from Boston."

" Don't have to get better excuse you know office buildings being able to go -- brings us as we -- teams that put a lot of pressure on its home floor. There's been prepared to go deeper and deeper into office to."

" Are we come into the stretch right now where you going to play six at a -- seven against sub 500 teams. What would you like to see this team accomplish in this stretch."

" We have to come where you play with enthusiasm and energy we know we can. Good keepers take one game at a time we do that will be fun OK -- thank you --"

" As always it's tough connect Kobe being very gracious -- you before each and every game -- that it is all important this is it counts. Back game of the Lakers in your career your involvement very many what's the number one -- to focus on when you -- a game affluent a debacle like the other -- you have to -- back to it got Jeter wins before you even -- the ball around you play great defense you've got the ball to -- big -- this he would they're hardly going to respond to that loss tonight. Good stuff we're going to see what a couple of minutes and."

" Back when the show just began doubles -- and -- time. For the Jack in the box up front reported ovals that you and after work. When he coming your way and as you can say for the most came edition of the Lakers but you with the stay inside rainy night southern California. When we come back up these short break we'll start today. Jones knows sixers and Lakers enjoyed everybody."

" Who let me you have -- let me adjust this thank -- Damn I'm mentally in my middle you know -- my Big Ten inch record on. Well let me let me ask you questions. Because only the guys in our truck live in a cave. 1234567 anytime there's nothing wrong with it if you get away with -- you are much room anyway -- we talk so much about the bigs why -- we do divisions Sam yeah Samuel and Andrew now. And we don't always changeup if something here doesn't work."

" That failure is arrived at expectations are high for 2008. For the Lakers young big man continued his incredible was set. Hit a team build up the momentum -- super --"

" At what amazing people this guy perform for the New Year. The floor for the first time in 2008. Laker basketball. -- starts now. -- southern California and has been less proudly presents -- San. Haven't played since Sunday. Tonight they match job and wrap up their series with the Philadelphia 76."

" Hi everybody told my -- I feel as welcome -- to get a table -- for Lakers back. Tonight the Lakers try to sweep the season series from the ball club is seventy sixers. Three weeks ago dominated early rolled away from the seventy sixers but to get it guns do well there are going to have to accomplish it without the services of tomorrow. Well everybody that was that the game in those that -- weren't at the game know that -- was suspended. What the league calling flagrant foul on Ray Allen so he'll sit out tonight's game won't even be allowed. Here in the building he'll be curious do you want from wherever he's watching movement and it's a shame because he was a difference maker in that game with 21 points and eleven rebounds could match up down low once again. Andrew Bynum is that a number of break for games are ready in the first thirty this season and you could categorize the match up the 76ers one of those breakthrough contests. I don't think can be any better than what he did against the sixers in Philadelphia he put on quite a performance at the time. And with a career high 24 points and eleven boards -- to those on the offensive end and that's really what aided him in going to hit out of from the -- offensive rebounds."

" On the inside he took advantage of his number. Mark now where that is."

" and let him throw it down and the opposition tonight an interest in match up more because Dalembert is a very long athletic big man in fact one of the best shot blockers in the game yet and it's going to be key for -- tonight. Can make sure he gets contact would Dalembert because if he allowed space. Samuel go up in effect a lot of the shots the very quick jumper. He doesn't have as much in his back pocket then you've got to that one of the reasons why I think. And you should really try to overpower him in the post ups and important confidence over a bounce back candidate -- night hopefully. For the Lakers not going to get it done after."

" The continuity. The rhythm once again."

" It and he hit. Okay movements. It didn't."

" Okay it's. Okay."

" Maybe."

" Okay."

" I gave recruits clincher Gatorade he's."

" I don't know."

" And then later."

" Thank you. At present west presents Lakers basketball brought you by Southwest Airlines would continue nonstop flights it's like having your own company play. My Gatorade first -- Gatorade it's -- you. And I hope to report about -- through six dollar brokers tactical -- Start of a very important stretch at home this weekend for the Lakers and especially after the long layoff. Six Koubek seven it's a team with a losing record he does that give."

" Some of his quotes from earlier this week. Starting five boulevards Japanese role he's in a challenge slowly down the block along with the ball he's good -- to start the last three Andrew Bynum Kobe. And -- Michael Jackson provided for the McDonald's pregame show would have been working on this week. You know Lakers -- coach is not lost his sense of humor what he said well we're going to get injured. Radmanovic decisively if you. It worked out this week. Ten healthy bodies Reggie Evans Willie green is back in the line up now the seventy sixers along with Samuel Dalembert. Andre Iguodala and what -- television manners along with LA native. Andre Miller -- of the good guys in the game is great coach in his third season sixers head coach. Most teams. Time to find out what fluid around the -- who."

" Let's -- it would -- fans."

" I don't think so forget Phil Jackson doesn't want to talk about it does not want his players to know about it for the Lakers schedule. The next seven games is really nice six of those games. With a record under 500 the only team with a record above 500 is a New Orleans talkative frank Hamlet he -- the problem last year and got swept by Charlotte they got swept by Milwaukee and New York was the injuries the same problem that is happening right now -- number other guys to step in. And step up big time guys like -- reason when we're short par Mark -- and even at Javaris Crittenton to gets a -- tonight. But right to tell me that this team has the most the last year has definitely. Chopper meddling. --"

" One of the guys that makes the big difference and Mitch Kupchak and -- build my future column in the LA times he labeled Derek Fisher got him. I think this. You've got a lot for the intangibles the fifth brings is special about facing teams that everybody says you're supposed to beat American guards in regard -- anything. About golf course classroom when you fight with the individual security issues. You can you can I think anybody can do it again. Didn't help out in situations like this where everybody's sake you're supposed to beat threw seventy sixers -- seventy sixers are playing better basketball. They have won four of their last six last game Wednesday night why can't I don't know seven only loss by Cleveland Utah -- It would feel old of their pitchers from behind me."

" You know when the record straight this team just few weeks ago in the Philadelphia's Andre Miller he really had himself quite a firsthand. But in the second half I think he realized that Gary -- the teammates involved and so he wasn't as aggressive offensively for himself. Tiebreak he looked up real short."

" It long out to the without the start of the it would break did pick it up with a second half though you're talking to the game December 21 two Lakers won it 1611. -- through actions."

" Plus the first half time break without. That was a tough play there the Lakers have a 211 you normally wouldn't like to see players to spread out a little bit world tool one. Derek and to be pretty close together when you're that close one defender can really -- boat they were fortunate enough to be banging knees would be put -- in the Phillies give you will be going to the people on but he'll he'll run at all but not a the team just the forty thoughtful look -- taste in the mouth and I have -- game. That last walk in the -- the answer so you don't want a relief. I talked about it we got here what three hours ago you worry about -- game like this for such a long layoff don't you -- the Lakers have nothing more -- to get along real sport they thought. Just don't like you want to have some sort of rhythm -- Injuries -- my teeth and -- that everyone says that you should be easily. Nothing will be in their -- and it's about -- I don't know if you know the -- as the Lakers. It pushed -- fourth game in."

" They get a break. What Reggie. And it's only been active shots to -- you -- in the -- just just relax and those kids -- handle. Never mind of over Samuel Dalembert and that was a good -- by. By well George walker one of the things that he has worked for himself and he's --"

" Those three point chance. Break for the Lakers and Willie green. Muscle bound Seattle at Detroit mercy and I discussed this young managers ever turn first how much we -- him -- he's very athletic you just don't hear that much about a a Willie green but. Players in his league like Willie green and he can really really play. Just don't have a mental -- told me. Missed the last six."

" Practice for him before -- there. Practice yesterday at the marathon is ready to go tonight -- broadcast on -- The American forces network broadcasting the US armed forces or -- 177 but. Watching tonight and basketball. Iraq Germany Italy -- was being from south Korea Japan and thanks to all of our forces. Thank you don't -- that's that's the work you've missed one big -- thanks. We are -- born in southern California tonight -- those and -- may have been. What do you do you guys KC want to get definitive that is not what you do it defensively. -- previously that nothing you can do to stop it so Lakers before the person okay. We'll take it at -- and I was well. -- his way home and that's he would dominate this back it and now happens outside game is that what. I don't know it's an attacking the paint -- Andrew Bynum from the the fact that even. Really hit his body going down on your body in the attack the rim with aggression. You're either going to get the basket or get a foul and sometimes you get boat this time in through. Difficult that is great second effort by Andruw gone. And the three point play for the Lakers up 9600 kind of joked about it a couple of weeks ago that you. -- music that maybe the brewers haven't used to this year but hopefully that's not the last -- into the left in the ninth. I told about the react you can take you right away from -- Willie green knights who led the holes like 98. Green with for the first day for the seventy sixers that was two weeks ago when you struck out when. If we deeply into the he's. Probably six or duplicate the -- high because it's like -- is. It's easy but at what Dalembert is so concerned now with anybody."

" the -- demand to be throwing."

" Brothers scored for the Lakers who. Willie green up to. They listed at 63200. Guys -- away after he's gone cold. Backup drive three Lakers are. -- a slow start 5% from the field for the layoff hurt and could happen -- the club defensively seem like it has sixers are four out of six. Red yeah. -- about some guys who. -- my Dalembert. Give -- the license plate and well again all DP -- you go one way and go the other night rooms Dalembert"
