The Grizzlies are playing well, would be nice to get a win here for this teams morale, but we just don't have the talent.

Man, these guys are for real! They have only lost once, to the Bucks! (Raptors don't count) Schedule not too hard tho.

Last time it was the bench: Vince, Udrih and Koufus dominating, can't have that.

Hopefully Boozer is healed and comes off the bench.

Seems like every game we're just playing some elite team. Then again maybe my perception is off because we're so bad so I feel like every team we play is elite.

I will be shocked if the Grizzles don't win by 25 points at most... they are a horrible match-up for the Lakers.

As a Grizzfan, if you're saying the lost vs. the Raptors doesn't count b/c of the stomach virus, technically if Allen and Lee didn't miss the game. Unfortunately the Grizz lost the game by a close margin. Given they are 12-2 so far into the season.

We only lost by 5 last meeting. I'm optimistic we can win this.

Yes, Koufos and Udrih didn't play either!

I want to see more of:

Which can only happen with defense. Ed Davis protects the rim, Lin initiates, Wes Johnson finishes. There's no bruiser type, they should run more, everyone is capable.

Whatever Scott's plan for Grizzlies, just don't run ISO Kobe for 40 minutes.

Sacre actually averaging 17-6 per 36 this year

give him touch down low and we are good to go.

**** that per 36 stat

dont put sacre for too long on the floor unless he's having a hot hand like last game. other than that he should see the floor for more than 10 minutes MAX

seriously man, bad things happens when he's on the floor.

that said, LET'S GO LAKERS :rockon:

To me that shows how much of a abysmal rebounder he is.

Dang, and the 0.5 blocks per game......(per 36)

He was 1.8 and 1.6 before tho, so he should get better at that.

Why do some of these trolls even care about us right now? LeBron has 2 superstars with him and he's having a **** season also, but nobody is even saying a word about it. I think the real reason behind this trolling is that they're mad at all the ass whooping the Lakers gave them in the past.


Anyway, enough about these scumbags. I hope we at least keep it competitive. Last game was a disappointment but we need to keep it together for a full 48 minutes.

Lakers could win this, but it will be very difficult.

Two things need to happen for sure.

1. Kobe only take good shots and play within the flow of the game and don't force unnecessary shots while double or triple teamed. (low fg% this year as we all could witness when trippled or double teamed).

2. Everyone else needs to step up and play D and play smart on offense to get easy shots. With the defense like Grizzlies, it will be very hard to score.

Actually I will add another one, Coach Scott really needs to have good game plan for them to win.

Grind it out. It was a tight game last time, shouldn't be too much different.

Memphis playing well, but we hung last time over there. We've shown a few things this season, we've shown we can come back from large deficits. We've shown we can give up a lead and get it back...problem is we keep reaching a point in the game where Kobe ventures into a zone only he knows....gunning.

Memphis is nice now but I'm skeptical of them long term, they lack depth at the lead guard,center and power forward. Spots of their best 3 players, if any of them go down it's curtains for the Griz.
