Let's hope that Fisher gets into early foul trouble. If that happens, we shouldn't get abused too badly. Farmar isn't going to exactly contain Westbrook, but he'll at least make him work on defense to somewhat offset his production. That said, Westbrook hasn't exactly played all that great against us, with exception to the last meeting where the Thunder played extremely well and almost took us out on our floor. He's shot poorly and turned the ball over quite a bit, so let's hope that continues. If he puts up 21/13/7 like he did last game then we'll definitely be in trouble.
Artest and Durant is going to be fun to watch. That's a tough match up because Durant can pull up and shoot effectively from damn near anywhere. Hopefully he's just off tonight, as he has been in 2 of our 3 meetings.
Kobe has to be careful this game. Sefolosha is a damn good defender and Kobe needs to NOT take this as a personal challenge. Stay within the offense and take what the defense gives you, but most importantly, get Gasol and Odom going early.
This would be another huge win for us, and it's especially important since we play the Rockets tomorrow night. Get it done, bitches.
