Fultz and Isaac are NOT on the injury report.

They Lakers are currently playing in Sacramento. We'll see if they opt to rest anyone on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.

Yeah... ORL needs to bully ball the Lakers. AD is practically their only inside presence.

Too bad, MoeSwag already had that epic game. We wont get to see him do that until 3-4 games from now. This Lakers bench frontcourt is just begging for Moes penetrating dunks. Woods, Rui,Hayes arent bodying up Moe

Our first game as the underdog. Lots of factors to our advantage. This would be a great win.

Fox is just eatinr DLo and Reaves... i wonder if Fultz can do that as well.

Push that pace and attack the paint. We have the defensive versatility to handle the Lakers. Just cannot beat ourselves on both ends.

Late game on a work night kind of sucks but I'm up for it... LET'S GO MAGIC!

OT for Lakers/Kings

Gonna be interesting to see what the Lakers do with Bron for tomorrow as he's over the target minutes they have him on to start the year. May get put on rest tomorrow.

Imperative we run as much as possible tomorrow to have them on their heels and test those legs of theirs.

We have to tire them out. They just lost in OT on the road.

It looks the the planets are all lining up in our favor, if we can win this game we'll be the kings of the East while tied with Denver for the whole league. GO MAGIX!!! (Old Realgm joke)

we should be able to smack the lakers down hard with how dumb their coach's rotations are. they lost the game in OT with no fox or sabonis, and will probably be limiting bron's minutes as well.

Yeah... being an old time realgmer, when the stars align for us to win a game, we usually lose.

Lakers pushing into OT the night before our game should help us if we come out aggressive and run. Put Suggs on Reaves please. Hopefully Paolo can get AD into early foul trouble.

Lakers r over rated, easy win

Litmus test....this game will tell us more about this team against a good defense.... Need to see the real Dell to show up..... Need to see more from Ingles than just moving the ball, black can do that.... Hell jett can do that as well.... Need to split these LA games

Lakers should be tired.

But this is first "real" game this season.
