In for the must win!!!

we really need this. I'll be glass half full guy for once and say we're winning this one.

Let's get it.

Watch out for Lillard!

LETS GO LAKERS!!

ALL in or we're all out. THIS is the KEY impossible odds game.

Away game portland, back 2 back. No Nash. Crippled MWP.

Jamison for 40

BTW what is kobe's record in portland to this date?

In before the win!

2nd night of a back to back?
away game at the rose garden?
kobe played 40+ minutes the night before?

win. book it.

To be fair he only played 41 mins tonight

Mike saved a few mins of rest for him cause he knew we got a back to back

He'll be good to go for 48 tonight

big game, this could decide it, please lakers lets get this, intensity from the start and dwight stay out of foul trouble we need you.

Pau is the key to the game. We know what we can get from Kobe & D12 but if Pau can continue his impressive play, we can win this. Expect Portland to throw every cheap trick in the book from Hack-a-Dwight to taking hard fouls and so on.

Remember that first game in Pheonix in which we choked a big lead late in the 4th quarter?

I remember someone who said he hoped that game basically gifted away wouldn't haunt us in the end.....well,it's close

Every time I start getting excited about this team this season, they string together 4-5 games where they look like the Washington Generals and make the worst teams in the league look like the Globe Trotters...

So I've tuned out... I hope they win, but until they look like they can beat some top teams in the Playoffs, I just can't get super excited about this.

I think we've all seen what a Laker team looks like when they have 'it' and look poised to win it all. At any point in the season, has this team looked like that to you? Not me.

go lakers

This might as well be considered our first round game 7 on the road. If we lose tonight, season might as well be over. I give us a 5% chance at making the Playoffs. I dont see the Jazz losing anymore games and their Memphis game is up in the air.

Let's go Lakers

Slow down the game.
Dwight has to have a onster game on the boards. For us to have a good chance to win, we have to limit their 2nd chance points. He needs to get 14-15 boards.
Pau and the guards also have to help get rebounds.
Defensively, don't let Lillard penetrate. We may have to put Kobe or Earl on him in stretches.
Pound the ball inside on offense. Go to Pau and Dwight.
Limit our 3s, so they don't run out too many times.
Get off to a good start. If we fall behind too much, I don't think the guys will have the energy to mount a come-back in the 2nd half, after playing last night.

Let's go Lakers

Win at all cost!! We need playoffs

if you can't beat a hobbled injury riddled team like the Blazers, you probably shouldn't be in the playoffs anyways.
