Kobe guarding Rondo tonight, Fisher on Allen. I'm sure they'll do that against us.

I just wanted to add that last year on the Warriors Lin played 33 minutes against the Lakers. The first 16 came in his second NBA game, of which 11 of those were in the 3rd quarter against the Lakers' starters. He ended up having a few nice steals and hustle plays against Kobe, Fisher, Odom and Gasol that game and finished with 3 assists and 4 steals.

Overall in those 33 minutes, he finished with 15 points on 5/14 shooting, 5/5 FT, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 6 steals.

Shump can't go "off".

He can't shoot and refuses to drive (sans a few last game). Not saying he won't fix these issues...just telling it how it is.

If Bill Walker's still starting, I expect to be down double-digits in the 1st qtr.

Looks to be a close game between Bos/LA

Our chances are getting better.

As if he is some sort of offensive presence that commands a top defender

I don't think we'll have enough to pull it out against the Lakers.. Hopefully Lin will continue his good play, but I don't see Novak Walker and Jefferies being able to squeak a W out against the Lakers... Jazz and Wiz are one thing, Lakers another..

So long as Lin continues to improve or has a good game, we show a little fight, I'll be satisfied. But not expecting a miracle here... Which down Melo and Amare, I think you'd need to beat Kobe and company, regardless of how good or bad they may be playing.

Lakers are so slow, we can definitely run on these guys.

Lakers are honestly looking terrible against Boston right now...Garnett and Pierce are playing terribly but Boston is still winning...if they play this poorly tomorrow I can see us beating them.

Kobe, Pau and Bynum all playing big minutes today. I like this.

I'm not even worried. I already counted this Lin....I mean win and I'm certain we will emerge victorious over the Black Mamba and his Gang.

we need stat to win this game

Kobe can't keep up with Lin's speed. Lin will still have a field day. Not many perimeter defenders have the lateral movement to keep up with the Lin/Rubio speedy/crafty type of PGs.

If he starts driving more like he has the past few games are you kidding me? He'll kill Fisher's 50 year old ass.

Lakers are nothing special. Chandler can handle Bynum. If we come out with energy and Kobe doesn't blow up on us, we should be fine. They're not a deep team and they should be tired. We need to run them out of the court.

Screw that, we'll own them Laker bums.

LA's pick and roll defense is horrendous...that's our best chance to win...attack them with the p&r...they'll be an adequate test, regardless if they've regressed.

If the Lakers win tonight against the Celtics, I'll feel better about our chances tomorrow. I feel like they'll be less desperate to win against the Knicks if they at least beat the Celtics.
