Predictions:

Lakers 105
Dallas 101

God, please bless Luke Walton and Odom to step up for this game .. if Stack guards Kobe then ,Walton, post, all day.

Lamar need 2-3 games to score 27 ...

Who is gonna guard Dirk ? i notice some teams have success putting a smaller guy on him like GS (Stephen Jackson) and San Antonio (Bruce Bowen)

Is Josh Howard injured or something? Since he is missing from the starting lineup.

No... I believe KObe Bryant has backwards... per Dallas News... Stackhouse is injured and will most likely sit out ... Howard will be starting

so we signed mbenga...now if we can keep him on the floor for more than 30 seconds..

odom for 27!!?? its more like odom for 7. i figure if u predict low and he passes expectations, you wont be as frusturated with this play

go lakers!!

GO LAKERS

You can put anyone on him, even the worst defensive player on your team -- it doesn't matter. The trick is sending another guy at the right moment (i.e. apex of his spin move, if he gets within 10-feet of the basket) without fouling. That, and Dirk's kind of in a funk this season.

So far we've responded after losses, lets see how this goes. I say let Dirk get his and make sure nobody else hurts us.

Go Lakers......Odom will score 27 if its a blowout....meaning he scores all his points in Garbage mins

fill me up some passion bucket!

just read on yahoo sports that Turiaf has a sore toe....and may not play...wow...thats really horrible

hes gonna play, he just cant play for extended minutes. i think thats why we didnt see him the entire 3rd quarter against the spurs, phil didnt want to play him too much

lamar historically plays very well against dirk on both ends of the court. get it done lamar.
