We gotta send a strong message to the second best team in the conference right now. Beating them at their place would be a very nice win.

[lakersfanatic]

Going to be a toughy since it's a back to back game and Spurs are on full throttle. We need to win to establish our dominance where as Spurs need to win to jump start their moral and determination to the next level.

We still have injuries but if we played the same way we did yesterday, it won't cut it. We need to be more consistent and PAU!!! needs to wake up and take over or else Mr. Duncan will rule the boards all day.

Early game today... hope i won't miss it.

GO Lakers!!

[TylersLakers]

Whoever Matt Bonner guards between Drew and Pau has to have a nice game. Whenever Matt Bonner is defending Andrew, we have to give him the ball and let him go to work. Same with Pau.

Come on Drew, 12 rebounds should be your goal tonight.

[semi-sentient]

I think we win this game. I'm sure our guys understand that the Spurs are at full strength and they are a real rival in the playoffs, so they will be ready.

Of course, I thought that against the Rockets as well and look how that turned out.
