NOTE
•Kobe got himself a new nickname, Vino. It means wine. He gets better with age. But I think
the reason why he's still dominating at his age is because he sucks his own Black Mamba's
venom(his sweat). Did you know that in the last 5 years or so, many anti-aging products
contain snake venom? Because snake venom have vitamin that helps your skin and many
other things that help you stay younger.
•The Lakers are 7-3 against the Hawks in their last 10 overall meetings. At Staples Center,
the Lakers are 10-3 against the Hawks all-time, winners of their last six straight and have
gone 19-3 in their last 22 home games overall.
•In the last meeting, Lakers was leading by one at the half, and then the Lakers held
the Hawks to just 10 third quarter points, extended the advantage to as many as 17 late
in the fourth and defeated the Atlanta Hawks 86-78 in their first game back at Staples Center
following the Grammy road trip.

this is a dangerous game..


i can see us having a let down and losing this game. we've had a lot of bad home losses this year.



hope i'm wrong

[NanceJrFan]

If Honey Badger Kobe show up, we'll get the win for sure.

[SilverBullet]

[mhan00]

Agreed with Kreme. Dangerous game tomorrow. Hopefully Smith has another (bleep) game, though its just as likely he gets insanely hot. We should win even if he does get hot, but this is no gimme.

Go Lakers!

Let down? Atlanta ain't no joke they're 33-24. We better come ready to bring it. Ironically their head coach, Larry Drew, is a ex Laker.

EZ We won the last game, I post with fear of jinxing

[Kb24goldenChild]

With Tony Parker out for 4 weeks what are the chances that OKC takes 1 st place from them ?

I think I rather play the Spurs in the first round if/when we make it to the playoffs .

[Lakers95]

Another game that we have to win. Atlanta's a solid team, but we cannot lose ANY home games at this point. Take care of business, Lakers!
