In case of a tie, whoever predicts most closely the # of points, blocks, and assists that the players get in reality will be declared the winner. One person per entry please. Good luck guys! Please feel free to edit/change your selections up until the start of the game.

My Prediction is:

Gasol with 27 points, Bynum with 2 blocks, and Kobe with 9 assists

Pretty cool idea Dave! You´re keepin this place fun!

Dave, if by some strange chance I happen to win, send the certificate to yourself. Useless to send it to Italy.

Cuckooroller: I'm pretty sure that you won't win with your picks. Now if you picked Odom to get three offensive fouls then yeah, I'd declare you the winner right now.

Farmar- 22 points- take advantage of Blake or whoever is trying to guard him

Bynum- 4 blocks- will take the challenge of Oden and Aldridge quite seriously. DOMINATION!!!

Kobe- 9 dimes- So many targets, So little time...

This is great Dave! I won the last contest and had a very nice dinner with my wife in Long Beach. I hope I win again! So here it is:

Second highest scorer - Andrew Bynum - 24 points.

I think that the Lakers are going to make a great effort to start him rolling this season and to establish his confidence against Oden the Ogre.

Most blocks - Andrew Bynum - 4 blocks

I believe Andrew will be sending a message this game that he is the young stud center on the block and will be going after shots. The confidence will be high from him scoring points from great passes from Kobe and Pau.

Most assist - Kobe Bryant - 8 assists

I think again that Kobe will want Andrew to establish himself against Oden and the Trailblazers. He will work that sweet slip screen and lob to Bynum all game long.

Bynum-17 points

Bynum-3 blocks

Kobe-5 assists

gasol 19 points
