They will be tired from the night before.

Our 3 headed dragon will run them out of the building.

I bet we win by 20.

Easy win.

They have a fairly young team so a back to back is a blessing to them.

Hope WJ turns the ball over 8 times again.... :lol:

On a side note we have to get our turnovers under control.

There is nothing worse then a turnover in sports IMO. We would have beat the Clippers if we didn't turn the ball over a million times.

Any1 see that 3rd quarter? Holy mother of god. We basically gave them them ball every time down the court,

Not really... its not like their foe is under the same condition. Playing, then flying, then playing again all in under 24 hours is never a blessing, sure it effects old teams worse than young teams but its not a good thing for any team.

Also... the Lakers are not particularly young to begin with. Their youngest starter is Lin at 26, and he might not even start, if Price starts over him then the Lakers will be starting 3 guys over 30 years old. The only guy on their entire roster that qualifies as "young talent" in NBA years is Randle.

I was making a joke about them being young hoping you would catch it. B2b will be extremely difficult for Kobe
and Boozer.

Gotchya. Sarcasm is hard to detect when it comes to opinions on the Lakers, occasionally non-Laker fans seem to buy their hype. You read their board and their fans are under the impression Kobe is going to "tutor all these kids", and they are hard to project because of all their youth. What kids? What youth? Apparently Wes Johnson and Nick Young are still up and comers are 27 and 29 years old.

At last, season kicks off (and so does the fantasy one

). Go SUNS!

I hope Kobe drops 40 and we still win by 20 (has nothing to do with Kobe being on my fantasy team).

This is the kind of team that we always tend to fall asleep on. Green and Markieff both tend to lose focus against weaker opponents. We're not good enough to take anyone for granted. Let's face it, we lost to an even worse Lakers team last season.

Why the **** would you want Kobe Bryant to "drop 40" on your favorite team?

I hope he gets a stomach bug and is forced to "drop" his pants and take violent **** in the locker room all game.

I hate the fantasy sports-ification of sports. Ugh. People tweet me about why Andre Johnson doesn't get touchdowns or something similar. It's like, "bitch, I don't give a **** about any goddamn fantasy team so long as my teams in real life, you know, win."

Anyone who wonders why Andre Johnson doesn't score a lot of TDs probably doesn't understand the concept that all recievers need a quarterback who can actually get em the ball.

Famous last words. If you take games as easy, you lose. It looks like Kobe is back. Anything can happen.

And he can't go against Richard Marshall every game. (btw, did you see he was released?)

Yes I feel like Christmas came early when I saw that. I'll go on the Chargers board right now to talk more about that with you.

Really trying to soak in these next 40-some hours. Good vibes, until about midway through the first quarter when we will be back at each other's throats arguing about who knows what.
