I have a feeling Kobe will be straight killer mode tonight. And Nash will come out firing.

Jwise, no giving away our secrets dammit!!!!! LOL.

Lin is going to torch Nash in straight out speed, and we all know that his defense can be considered iffy at best.

Depending how Parsons (flu) feels, you may be right about Kobe, I see him shooting 15 to 18 from 40 - 45 shots in the game. (In case Lakers fans didn't notice, that is a key to beating the Lakers, make Kobe shoot, a lot!!!!)

So, in the immortal words of Han Solo. "Good luck, you're gonna need it!"

The Lakers reserves really need to see this as an opportunity to crack the rotation. I mean its clear LA are looking for something to add to their team and we need to see if Clark and Ebanks could potentially add something, rather than clogging the rotation with more old vets like Kmart.

Time to see what the Lakers bench can really do

I'm happy Pau isn't playing, he offers nothing but softness at this point of his career, but no Hill or Dwight means our interior defense is going to be awful...

Houston might set the record for layups/dunks in a game against us tonight...


Meh!! Lakers by 10!!! ;)

In all seriousness though is the Lakers lineup being rolled out tonight any worse than the 05-06 lineup we rolled out there? That team missed the playoffs but they managed to win some games. Why can't this team luckbox a win or two without Dwight and Jordan?
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

Kind of unusual whenever your starter , back up , and third string center are all out at the same time.
Not a surprise the way this season has gone that it would happen to us.

Despite this edgy start to the season one positive to take out of this current situation is that maybe we will see some chemistry being built with Nash, Artest and Kobe.

Expect even more maxed minutes for our big three tonight.

Steve Nash is 5 assists away from 10,000. He'll be one of 5 players to ever reach the milestone. Just something to watch out for.

I said that earlier, and y'all laughed. Who else is going to shoot a lot? Metta, sure he'll take 10-15. Nash doesn't ever shoot in volume. Meeks might take 5-10 shots, but lets face it, it'll be Kobe all game long.

I am serious, this is how you make the Lakers lose. Just make Kobe shoot as much as possible. Some, if not most nights, he'll go off for 25+ points. It's how he gets those 25. I expect to see him at the foul line a hell of a lot in the game. Generally when he shoots in high volume, he misses a fair bit.
