I saw LBJ knock over that trash can on Friday, I would have been pissed too if I'm the franchise player and don't get the last shot. What the hell was Hughes thinking of, he could have hit LBJ on the swing cut he made.

Well anyway you got both LBJ and Kobe coming off losses, that means both are pissed right now and it should be an explosive game Sunday.

i like girls so i approve of this game thread.

[TheOUTLAW]

Once the inbound didn't go to LeBron it was pretty much a given that he wouldn't get the ball. There just wasn't enough time. That being said, the Cavs need this game after the loss to the Suns. We are going to have a huge problem trying to contain Kobe with Sasha out as well.

[thethrill23]

you know who's going to have to come in and stop Kobe?

Eric Snow AKA "The Kobe Killer"

[B Mac]

I didnt think about that Outty. We really will miss Sasha in this one. He has been the one who has led us to beating the Lakers in the past. Watching him D up on Kobe was one of my favorite moments from last year.

He should've done that on Drew instead...lol.

Always fun to watch Kobe and LeBron go at it. I'm sure it'll be another great show. LeBron is 8 points shy of passing Mark Price for third on the franchise scoring list. If the team moves the ball like they have the past few games, I think we'll win by about 7 points. The Lakers don't seem the same since losing Bynum.

[B Mac]

We've beaten the Lakers the last 4 times we've played them.... (knocks on wood)

[Benedict_Boozer]

Kobe played poorly the last game against us, he will be going for blood - especially without Bynum.

LBJ will have to match his intensity early. We really need this one cause we have Portland up on the schedule next

[CzBoobie]

I have a really bad feeling that Kobe will absolutely destroy us tonight. Now prove me wrong Cavs!

[B Mac]

Without Sasha Im also afraid Kobe will go off. Larry and LeBron are gonna have to switch off and on against him. Hopefully his teammates arent hitting.

[DEEP3CL]

I like you guys confidence, but in reality our boys know we need this one. And to the guy who said the Cavs would win by 7, just to let you know we've only been blown out once at home all season.

Teams are not just going to come in to Staples and blow us out.

Just curious, winning by 7 is a blowout in the Laker world?

[TheOUTLAW]

I was about to say. When did a 7 point win become a blowout? Eh, that's okay. We really like close games.
