Final game before the All-Star break. Only 25 games left in the regular season after tonight. Both teams need a win and should be able to leave it all on the floor since there are not any games for the next few days. The Lakers have won 8 of their last 11 while finishing 4-3 on the Grammy trip. The Clippers have won 6 of their last 11, but are on a 3 game winning streak after welcoming back their top 4 players into the line-up. Of our last 3 wins, the team has looked more like themselves, however It hasn't been perfect. There have been some stretches of totally obliterating the competition, but there have also been some lackadaisical lulls that have made the games far closer than they should have been. Tonight really comes down to defense and rebounding for us. The Lakers are one of the best rebounding teams in the league and we can leave a lot to be desired on the boards.

win by no less than 18

I'll be there repping the red and blue

i fully expect another blowout. i want kobe embarrassed and pissed off, followed by another post game interview where he throws his own teammates under the buss... and jim buss making a panic trade before the deadline.

BTW, miami is doing us a favor by blowing out the thunder. it is time to gain a game on them.

Gotta end the first half w a W. hope it isn't even close.

Miami lead down to 10 w 3 min to go

Game has already started. We're up 4-0.

looks like the game is starting with us up 6-0 lol

edit: mk beat me to it lol

BG has the first 8 points for us.

12-0 start. Blake has 10 and we're missing it.
