I expect us to win this one.

Pay no attention at the bottom of the picture that says "Mavs for life" :lol:

Injury Updates:
Lebron: Day to Day

James revealed after Tuesday's 116-109 loss to the Clippers that he turned his ankle "pretty good" during the game, but he said he doesn't expect the injury to affect his status for the Lakers' Christmas Day matchup with the Mavericks, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Porzingis: Out

Also anyone please feel free to make Game threads. I'm trying to get more activity on this board so I've been making them a day or two earlier to get more ppl to post. It would be nice to get back to the activity we were doing a few years ago.
I've noticed a lot of Lakers fans choose to post on the GB compared to here. I try to do both to keep activity on this board as well.
Anyways Happy Holidays to everyone on the Lakers board :-D

Hope for a better interior defense and a smoother ride for Marc this game.

Go Lakers!

He's always out. It's like relying on Blake Griffin to be in the lineup.

Just continue to get better game by game. Lakers are going to be dangerous once they gel.

Nice GT, EArl!

Yeah, for every game we used to have posters getting in line over making the GT, then a good 20 pages of comments.

Good initiative.

The general board is doing to team boards what Wal-Mart does to mom and pop shops.

We used to have Trixx pulling some serious tricks in Photoshop and Illustrator around here for our game threads. We had strategic discussions and laughs. The good ole times of word battles between Kupcake and crackjack. Nikehooos23, alfurd, snaq, miles, Phil 2.0, Bynum, Corvus Crow, TylersL ...

We could create the pull here again and the game threads would play a big part.

Merry Xmas everyone, go Lakers!

On a side note, Boston just got murdered :lol:

I'd like to see THT get some run with Lebron and AD. I doubt it happens though.

Our interior defense is going to be a huge problem....

Mamba Mentality · Post #18 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Sat Dec 26, 2020 1:22 am

I know we don't even have a two game sample, but Marc looks like a terrible addition.

EArl · Post #19 » by **EArl** » Sat Dec 26, 2020 1:25 am

Offensively we look good. Defensively we need work. Marc is not fast enough for modern centers.

TJM217 · Post #20 » by **TJM217** » Sat Dec 26, 2020 1:26 am

Gasol looks rough out there again. I'm pretty adamant that Harrell should start over him and this is the 2nd game in a row that hasn't convinced me otherwise
