lakers will win this one, by 10-15 points

fantastic gamethread!

Hopefully Wright can play some defense on Kobe (as advertised by NJ fans). If he can and Dirk can play ood against Gasol, I can see us winning, but it will definatley be a tough game.

Game Thread is off the hook!!!Good luck fellas.

will Jho play this game?

Will be another good game and hopefully will win this time. During the last five meetings theres been a combined score of over 200 points.

I'll post the line and over/under once it comes out.

I don't see us going into LA and winning this one. After winning 5 straight and the way we struggle against the Lakers, I don't see any way we come out with a win.

I don't see the Mavs winning this one. Maybe if JHo is back and healthy and Kobe has an off night Mavs might win. I don't remember any time that the Mavs have done well against the Lakers in LA.

If Josh is back I wouldn't be suprised if we win this one. Bynum could be out and Damp has played really well against the lakers lately.

Just a side note:
Hollinger Power Rankings (based off stats) has Dallas, after beating Indiana, dropped from 7 to 9 (Indy went up from 9 to 7...go figure)

Steins power ranking (based off opinion) Dallas jumped from 22 to 15.

Lakers #1 Hollinger & #2 Stein

If we beat the Lakers, Steins next rating should be in the top 10. Hollinger's may drop to 15.

Im hoping J-Ho can play, becuase that would really increase our chances at 6 straight. We played LA really well last game, even though they usually own us every time wevve met in the past.

We did give them a game in Dallas without J-Ho. But now we are in Staples, hopefully we can play with energy all 4 quarters, also need players like Shawne, Wright, Green & Singleton to step up while our core of Dirk, Kidd, Howard(if present) & JET do what is expected of them.

the lakers are clear #1 in the west and are one of only 2-3 title favourites. so losing against them wouldnt surprise me.
but you shouldnt underestimate the stack-factor. what is it now, 5-0 since stack got his DNPs?
seriously, this should be a fun game, lets see if we can hang in with the big dogs

Best of luck guys

Bynum may sit out so that should help you in attacking our interior defense

we need the ball to go our way a few times when it comes to loose balls
and call some extra BS fouls on LA
Dirk and Jet gotta shoot a high percentage around 55% a piece and Jkidd has to go 4/4 from 3 point land and also get a triple double for us to win
if all that happens i can guarantee a victory
oooo and also
kobe has to go 4-25 from the field with 5 free throws

and we will win by 2 if all that goes down as planned

Play Stack in this game!

So the Stack-factor can remain perfect. Now it is 5-0!

Lakers favored by 11 points.
