Let's see if Lamar's comments inspires our bigs to toughen up in the paint, Pau in particular who almost single-handily cost us the game against the Raptors with his weak defense late in the game. Bynum needs to pick up where he left off and play aggressive on both ends. We'll need him to do that until Pau gets his head out of his ass.

This could be a great momentum building victory that gets us on a nice win streak. We play quite a few road games to close out March but we most of the games are against mediocre/poor teams, with a few struggling playoff teams mixed in (@ATL, @SAS).

Now's the time to start playing like the defending champs and taking care of business on the road. The Suns are short-handed and we have to capitalize.

feed the paint early and often.

We're just missing Frye and Barbosa is going to play Friday. So we not really short-handed.

They're still short a big........that could be a big factor. Also Channing helped spread the floor, Lopez will do no such thing. And if he picks up a couple of quick fouls then what ? You think Amare gonna contain both Pau and Drew ? And Dudley can't guard either one in the post. I'm looking forward to this game.

[Slava]

This is as convenient a match up as we can get. Other than the Amare - Nash p n r nothing should be tough for us.

[DaDragicShow]

We're is completely different team in the past 18 games going 14-4. Ever since Lopez took over for Frye we been playing better. It's not going to be an easy game for us but since we got 6 days rest we should be ready and energized for the game.

[DaDragicShow]

Anyways good luck Friday night, I'm hoping for a good game.

6 days? damn thats a lot. thats probably surpassed the rest threshold and jumped into rust.

ok so no more "we are playing a back to back" excuses. if you lose your entire board needs to come up here and write on this thread "the lakers beat us when we didn't have a back to back game". except for CLASSIC he write "Kobe, I love you, yes homo".

[snaquille oatmeal]

...and for the my fellow trekkies on the board the babe of the game.

[semi-sentient]

Nice... I'd bang an ex-Borg. Gotta go with Jolene Blalock though if I'm looking for some Trek booty.

[supaflash]

mmm Trek 3 some!

Frye loss is big, he has played well against us because of our bigs lack of getting out to the 3 pt line, and he made things much easier for Nash and Amare to operate in the lane. If the Lakers aren't a little angry, chippy, and agressive in this one, especially after 2 days off and that lackluster Raps game... I will be quite irritated.

I want scowls early, and smiles late as we're up 25

Lakers do the fans and yourself a favor. Win by a blow out

[rsavaj]

Just got a text w/ some news, Barbosa says he's out for tmw's game.

[semi-sentient]

Word up. I just sent Phil and Kobe text messages to give them a heads up so they can change up their game plan.

[blkmomba24]

Three things control the tempo limit the turn overs pound the ball inside second straight win!
