I expect Kobe to have a bounce back game after giving the stage to Dwight last game.

What a ho-hum anticlimactic game Orlando was. We played team and defense in our sleep it lulled me to sleep. But this is how the lakers should be more and more. Get to the point where they dismantle teams methodically even on the road. I love it. Lets keep it up.
Lets make the Atlanta game a boring game.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Beating Atlanta might be easy the second time around.

I'm loving what the Lakers are doing right now. We're playing team ball and focusing on defense. I agree with the guy above who said let's make this methodical and boring...and a blowout.

no back to back excuse here. The hawks are in one themselves. Nash and Kobe's legs should be a little fresher as well not having had to play any offense in the second half last night.

Let's keep this winning streak going! I think we would tie our season high for win streak tonight. ATL will come out hard since they lost big last night, as long as Lakers survive that push, we should be good. GO Lakers!!!

Prediction: Lakers 102
Hawks 98

When looking at the schedule a couple of weeks ago I chalked up this game and the next as losses. I'd be good with a split.

If they don't come out with tired legs tonight from the back to back, I expect them to win tonight.

Can't overlook this one though... We don't have too many games left against playoff level teams. We need to show up for each of them.
I like our chances but I don't take anything for granted at this point.

Assuming last night didn't totally drain Dwight, it was a big to do for him so I can easily see him being gassed for tonight's game, then last night was perfect because Kobe used minimal effort and should be ready to go hard tonight. Tonight's game is obviously huge! If we squeak out a win the Indy game isn't nearly as big of a deal but if we choke tonight's game away we'll be under a lot of pressure to win the Indy game on Friday. Of course if we lose both games..... Don't want to think about it. :(

This is a solid point... I remember a few times where the Lakers were playing in the ATL and I couldn't tell which team the fans were pulling for...

We'll turn some heads if we get a dub tonight and if we lose all of the doubters are going to say "see? Same old Lakers!"

A win tonight will convert some of the doubters! Another win Friday and you're going to see SA, Clippers and OKC scrambling for position! Lol
