i'd like to see vlad continue is improved play, especially against the less than impressive crop of sf's that the raptors have.

hope farmar/ariza/odom can get out on the break again.

It'll be interesting to watch just how well the two PF/C combos will match up against each other.

I agree dcash , that trio has some flava to it. Fast and can push tempo also has the ability to blow games open meaning valuable rest time for the starters.

5ive in a row, Deep? (Is this a prelude to the rest of the season?)

Vladimir Radmanovic looks much leaner.

I hope he can stay in front of his man this year. :pray:

..if we keep him. :lol:

TOR should give us a decent run; they got 3 All-Star caliber starters.

Bynum/Gasol need some defensive burn before they face up against the beasts out West.

LO might have to matchup against Bosh if our guys get into foul trouble.

JO vs Bynum... that's the matchup I wanna see.

Both were young stars, drafted before their time, and now pitted against each other.

Blah.

Imma skip this game, but I'll most likely start following the team when the season starts.

Good Luck. :wave:

I would like to do a few in the regular season, but time may not permit plus these are nowhere near the type of threads that I normally see. I'm just giving us something to go to on game days during this preseason.

*checks schedule*

Anyone know why Josh Powell didn't play last night? Was PJ just trying to give the bubble guys more time?

Josh Powell did not play tonight because he missed Friday's practice due to the death of his father-in-law. Powell dressed but did not play in the win over FC Barcelona.

TOR will probably be the biggest challenge the Lakers have faced up until this point.

It should be interesting.

Foul trouble? Oh sure.

Bosh/JO/Bargani vs Bynum/Gasol/LO.

Unfortunately, for precautionary reasons, Bargnani may be sitting out this game as well.

Game Time!!

hopefully bynum brings his A defense tonight, his effort has been lacking a bit. he usually put in some extra effort whenever he was matched up against a big name last yr. his thrashing of JO was a sort of coming out party last season.

Prime example of Gasol and Bynum not being on the same page but you can see the possibilities once they start clicking. Nice look by Gasol to Drew.
