My concern is that we just played a double OT and had to fly cross country.

We should win, but I won't be surprised if we come out a little sluggish.

I'm getting bad flashbacks of losing to the 0-18 Nets...

Chuck is going to die!

It is time to take back control of this overall series like the Bobcats did!

If Kemba is going to breakout this game is going to be it against Lin. 20 points 6 assist 3 rebounds on 6/13 shooting with some FT's mixed in for him. Banking on him to have a solid game. I'd almost bet on it.

The Laker's starting 5 actually isn't too bad other than Wesley Johnson. After that it is ugly. I wouldn't be surprised if our bench comes up big this game.

Lance should be really amped up to go against Kobe. I'm pretty excited for this game actually.

back when the lakers were good and we sucked, we owned them. last year, they sucked and we were decent and they beat us at home. if they win tonight, it proves this is the true bizarro matchup.

Lakers are in desperation mode. Have to play 4 good quarters to win not one or 2 like we've been doing

This feels like such a trap game for the reasons you guys have mentioned. We should be able to score at will. The Lakers are brutally awful on defense (last place in defensive efficiency and not even close to the next worst defensive team). There's really no excuse for either Kemba or Lance to struggle on offense or for Big Al not to have a dominant game. Just worry about them being hungry and making everything. Good thing Bryon Scott doesn't believe in shooting threes.

Gonna have to make spaghetti again before the game. The last two wins I've made spaghetti, so maybe that's the lucky charm! Lol

the time we beat them in the 3rd overtime despite Kobe's 58 points. an all-around good performance from everybody. Crash was killing Kobe in the post, Bernard Robinson made some clutch baskets, Matt Carroll had his career-high if I remember correctly, etc.

I definitely don't miss that horrible looking court.

We have played 6 games so far.

Can anyone think of one of those 6 teams who played badly against us?

I can't.

The Bucks played amazing.

The Grizzlies smothered us even though it was ugly. They didn't play badly. We certainly lost that game more than they won it but they didn't play badly.

The Knicks played well and won.

The Pelicans played well and won.

The Heat played well and came back at the end.

The Hawks took us to a 2nd overtime.

No team has played like crap against us.

Conclusion?

We're due.
