The Most Important Matchup

-=-=-=-=-> Derek Fisher Vs. Tony Parker <-=-=-=-=-

See News Hub…

Fish will be a major factor tonight. His hot shooting alongside with his defensive presence will hopefully give us a major boost. Kobe getting double-teamed will have to give the ball to Derek who will be wide open, at least, I think/hope so. Also Derek doesn’t have to let Parker do a lot of things on the court tonight. Try to limit his penetrating, force him to shoot jump shots. That’s the key for Fish.

Keys to beat the Spurs :

• Move the ball quickly and try to use every good opportunity to score because their defense is still tough.
• Now, when we’ve got Fisher, Farmar, Sasha, they will have to work even harder and space their defense, which will allow Kobe, Ronny and hopefully Kwame to score some easy baskets…
• Play hard, play defense, score more points than them and the win is in our pocket !

Go Lakers !!!

Sorry for the delay !

This sucks man...

LOL i'm in a class right now and have one after this...

I'm going to miss the first half..

Well wish good luck to the boys, until I get home and start watching it.

Predictions as to DJ's first entrance into the game?

I'll go with the 2 min mark of the 2nd quarter and he'll get 2 fouls before the half... and somehow still look better than Kwame.

Until I refreshed the page and noticed the game thread, I was about to make one, haha. Good stuff.

i have a feeling Mbenga will get between 8-10 mins tonight to help match up with bodies. Tonight and tomorrow.

Oh, btw, have I mentioned how much I appreciate the Spurs?

I think you meant fri...

I can't see the Lakers winning this all banged up...

we need a big game out of Fish and Farmar like they had against the nuggets. Turiaf's gonna be the last line of defense, if he can stay out of foul trouble we have a chance. If the offense flows early, kobe will share the ball. if they struggle shooting w/ turnovers, expect 25+ shot attempts from kobe.

PASSION BUCKET!!!

Yeh, Friday at Dallas. My bad. I agree, but at the same time, the spurs are reeling themselves. Sure, they are still the spurs, but i feel tonights game is in the air. If we somehow get this win, i expect us to reel in more respect then we've been getting. This is the time for kwame to secure his confidence for the playoffs.

Lets do it!

Go Lakers.
I hope we can come out with energy in the first quarter and get a lead early.
Don't let Bowen hurt you. Kobe's got to stay on that guy and not gamble so much on D.

:clap:
