First Laker Game need some help

[mckm]

I have been lurking this board frequently since its existence and have dreamed to go to a Lakers game. I am from Canada and being a student I didn't think my chance to see the Lakers live was going to happen anytime soon. I made a comment to my wife that I hoped I would one day be able to see Kobe play before he retired and a few weeks later she surprised me with Lakers tickets for game 6! We are sitting in section 108 and I am so pumped. We will be staying in a hotel near LAX and I was wondering how early we should leave and what traffic is like before the game? I will also have to look at some of the other posts for good info on parking near staples. I really hope the Lakers win game 5 and close out the series in Game 6! That would be unbelievable to see live! Thanks for the help in advance and GO LAKERS!
