Can't find usual logo pictures and too tired to do a better search, so this a play with Kobe dunking on the 76ers, good old times:)

Watch on YouTube

Injury watch: AD ( left planter fasciitis) Hayes (left knee sorness) are probable... Rui Questionable
Vando (right foot surgery recovery) and Wood (left knee surgery recovery) are still out.

Slims keys to the game.

* Both guards Reaves and DLO need 20+ points

* Limit turn overs - Keep under 15

* Defense

Players to watch: Koloko, Cam and Max

Let's Go Lakers!

I have a strong inkling that the sixers are gonna run all over us.

The scouting report is out according to Laker Nation: lakers have no transition defense. As soon as we miss a shot the other team runs full speed fast break to capitalize on our lack of transition defense.

I know this a Laker forum haha, I just finished watching Hawks/Pistons game, (switching between games) ... I want Trae Young so damn bad and I've said It b4 even willing to trade my boy Reaves In the deal... Defense or no defense the dude provides, 35pts, 13ast, 3TO +/- 14 ... Him and AD would be Dope and Young Is still Young 26ish years old, trade the farm for him plz.

Edit: should also point out his doing this with no other all star, I guess Johnson Is close?? to allstar level??

JJ coach of the year, actually placing DLO on the bench for Cam hahaha.

1st quarter thoughts:

Cam starting DLO being benched, love this and JJ needs props for having the balls.
If DLO Is happy coming off the bench, I might and I say might be ok with keeping him haha.
Winning 1st quarter 36-29
AD 15 points

Halftime report:

* Pros
+ I said start of the year Reaves will be 20,5,5 player under JJ his making this case here. 17,6,3 @ half time vs 76ers
+ Placing DLO on bench also said this start of the year
+ AD 22 pts 10-13 FG%
+ winning 1st and 2nd quarters
All comes down to 3rd quarter now, hold this and win.

* Cons
- Bron too old and should consider playing on the bench <> will get hate for this lmao.
- Tieing In REB 25 apiece
- DLO off the bench makes sense butonly 9 points at half time?

I dunno. I'm talking about getting back on defense as a team/teamplayer. Not offensive speed in any particular person.

It’s been good to see D Lo try playing defense more than I’ve ever seen him try before for any other coach. A for effort. It was even better to see that our new coach realized that Russell’s defense is still not good enough to merit a starting PG role. Plus, D Lo’s offense is needed off the bench, not one bit for our starting five. In fact, I think he’s a third string PG and a second unit SG/PG combo.

In either case, bravo JJ!!! Now we have a shot.
