GT: 12/11 - LAL @ SAS - 6:30pm PST - TWC Sportsnet 

Post#1 » by miggs » Fri Dec 11, 2015 3:20 am

Los Angeles Lakers (3-19) @ San Antonio Spurs (18-5)

December 11, 2015 @ 6:30pm PST

TWC Sportnet / 710 AM / 1330 AM Espanol


Image


After a heart-wrenching loss in Minnesota our adjusted Lakers team look to carry that energy into the AT&T Center and try to do their best in handing the Spurs their first home loss of the season.

Russell and Randle will continue to come off the bench so hopefully that means we'll be looking at some very spirited play from these two young guns.

Keys to the Game

1. Avoid the sluggish start
2. Control the glass
3. Limit opp pts in the paint
4. Strong games from the young power trio
5. At least 1:2 Ast to FG Ratio











Key Match-Ups

X-Factor: Kobe vs Kawhi

1. Randle/Hibbert/Nance vs LMA/Duncan/West
2. Russell vs Parker
3. Clarkson vs Green











While we can expect to see Kawhi win his match-up as well as LMA his, match-ups like Russell/Parker and Clarkson/Green are up for grabs and to me personally, it's exciting to see our young backcourt facing another above average backcourt.

I look for Randle to have no problem out-rebounding the Spurs PFs, my worry is Duncan here.









Hopeful Stats

1. Randle earns a double double
2. Young trio combines for over 50 pts
3. Under 10 Turnovers
4. Spurs held under 100 pts and under 40% FG
5. Nance plays over 10 mins at Center
2014: Randle / Clarkson
2015: Russell / Nance
2016: Ingram / Zubac
2017: Top 3 Pick? :nod: Fultz, Ball or Bust

Not sure why... But I have a good feeling about the Spurs game... The team has always found a way to make the games competitive for most of the time... I think we can steal one tomorrow.

Well, Spurs beat 76ers by 51 while resting Duncan, Leonard, and very limited minutes for Parker/Green. I just hope we don't get embarrassed.

I hope we get embarrassed but that our young guys still have good games. More ammo for Byron's meeting when we get back from the trip.

This might be the one arena Kobe gets booed along with Utah.

I'll do my best to try and drown all of San Antonio out, which all depends on getting off work early today. Were you able to get tickets to tomorrow's game?

Nope, the ones that my workplace usually gets were claimed by the CFO so I'm a no-go.

This has the look of one of those games where D-Lo and Randle sit the entire fourth.

We beat them last year in San Antonio in December with a Nick Young hail mary 3.

I think we get blown out tonight.

Oh we'll try but I don't think we or anyone else have much of a chance against them right now.
