No it won't. *Fingers crossed*

Lin was horrible but should settle in against Phoenix.
Kobe only played 29 minutes and didn't play much of the 4th so should be well rested
Boozer played solid in the 2nd half and that should continue against PHX frontcourt.

I say we start Davis. Also need better production from the bench

Their guards will run us off the court.

Its a backend of a b2b against a team that won 48 games last year.

I don't think the game will be as bad as you guys are making it out to be. Lin needs to take careof the ball more and we just need to slow down the game.

thats always been his problem and its still a problem so its obvious he isn't changing or smart enough to understand that it needs to change.

Ryan Kelly should help our squad a lot and so should swaggy. I'll hold off judgement on our team until they get back. If this is the worst of our injuries then good.

Prayers with Mandle. Just get healthy dude don't rush back. It's not the end of the world to be brought along slowly your rookie season. Hopefully we can get him some good burn the second half of this season so he doesn't feel like a rookie during his sophomore season.

How did X look after months of not playing btw? I'm out of the country and the streams are blacked out here. It's a shame he was forced back into action so fast, but I'm glad he's healthy enough to give it a go.

Well, the Lakers only need to stand in front of the firing squad for 80 more games after this (well 78, since there is those 2 games against the 76ers)

In all seriousness though , They need to show some semblance of offensive system.

Feel bad for long-time Lakers fans and Kobe. Definitely not how he wants to play out his career.

Given the opportunity, Lin usually comes back strong after a disappointing game.

Let's see if he gets better tomorrow and Nov19th.

And the curse continues! We are now starting to become synonymous with injuries.

Have to keep moving forward though, what else can you do?

If Jeremy Lin wasn't Asian / went to Harvard, nobody would say is a very skilled player has very good basketball iq / control

And People wouldn't say he isn't a good athlete either.
