Its funny how everyone just kept last year's PLayoff sig.. lol

[djericho]

Big game, on the road 2nd of a back to back... good test for this team....


Kobe's 23 pts from passing Larry Bird on all time list.... He should get it tonight because the Hornets are a good team. For lakers to win they'll need Kobe to score or get Kobe to get assists. Either way I'm sure Kobe's gunning for a W instead of passing Bird.

kno, yup !

GO LAKERS !

Good game thread. +1


Too bad they blackout the local games online.

I wonder if I could watch it if I'm outta state.


This would be a nice win to have under our belt.

I didn't see Drew end the game yesterday... I hope he's got some fuel left in that tank.

Peja vs Radman on defense is gonna be the key matchup for me to watch.


CP3, Peja, D-West vs "The Big 12", oh my.

time to make a new one! the search for perfection



i expect bynum to destroy chandler.

This is the game I've been looking forward to the most, as the NOH are going to be right up there with us at the end of the season. It appears that both of our squads are finally healthy, so I expect nothing less than a complete ass raping from the Lakers.

The focus for tonight has got to be rebounding if we expect to win convincingly, and that means Bynum is going to need to keep Chandler off the boards. Peja will probably have a field day, but I'm confident that we can contain them everywhere else.

i expect bynum to destroy chandler.

I doubt he will, primarily because he hasn't found himself in our offense yet. I'd prefer that we feed Gasol heavily as I feel we have a big time advantage at PF. West can not possibly contain Gasol, so we need to exploit that match up to the fullest.

[dockingsched]

i was referring more to on the boards. i expect bynum to just physically punish chandler like dampier was punking bynum/gasol/odom.

That would be nice to see. I imagine he has to be a little anxious to get some revenge after being punished by Dampier, so that'll be something to watch for.

GO LAKERS

[lakersfanatic]

Looking forward to this game. Definitely a big test for us tonight. Hope the back to back doesn't fatigue anyone. If Ariza can maintain his stingy defense and the bigs do their defensive and offensive rebounds.. we're a lock in.

Hope Kobe gets 24pts plus hehe
