NOTE
•The Lakers are now 78-38 all-time in games that Bryant scores 40+ points. Bryant holds the
Lakers franchise record for 40-point games in a season, recording 27 during the 2005-06
campaign. Bryant also holds the franchise record for most consecutive 40-point
games (9), established during the 2002-03 season.
Only Wilt Chamberlain (14 twice, 10 once) has had longer consecutive 40-point game streaks
in NBA history than Bryant.
•The Lakers are 1-6 win this season on the front end of road/road back-to-backs
but are 4-2 in the second game of such back-to-backs. This year, the Lakers will play
16 sets of back-to-back games after playing 18 back-to-backs (including one
back-to-back-to-back) in 2011-12. Last year, in the front end of consecutive contests,
the Lakers were 9-9. In the back end of consecutive games, the Lakers were also 9-
9 (1-0 in the third game of back-to-back-to-backs). In 2010-11, the Lakers played an
NBA-low 15 sets of back-to-back games, equaling the franchise record set in the
team’s first ever NBA season (1948-49).

Tough, tough game tomorrow. This might be the toughest game left on our schedule, no joke.

Not very confident about this game. 2nd game of a back to back. Nuggets are a deep, young and athletic team. They are 23-3 at home this season. We have a lot of older players. This game could get ugly fast.

Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.

[Balki Bartokomous]

This one might as well be played at the Rose Garden an L for sure. Hopefully this shakes up the front office and stubborn ass coach to sign some help like a big who can spell Dwight a few mins.

Dont like our chances, but hopefully we can somehow pull this off. I'd LOVE for us to shut Ty Lawson's dumbass up.

[VanCity]

We can do it.

[cmonkee]

Would be an amazing win if we can get it

[Chronicle]

[chrisca91]

I still believe we can win.
