Television: FSN West
Tipoff: 7:30 PM PST
[My biggest concern is Nate Robinson]
He was hot last night and was very hard to contain vs Phoenix. His speed and athleticism is a concern for tonights game as hes the exact type of player that our defense struggles against. He seems to be thriving in D'antonis run and gun system in NY. I hope the Lakers are taking this game seriously, I dont want another struggle vs a sub par team. |

If Phil can find a way to challenge Mike D'Antoni's Suns with Smush, Luke and Kwame, I believe he can find a way to beat the Knicks.
In fact I expect Mike D'Antoni to yell at Phil again |

Al Harrington is the problem here as it has always been all season with defending 3 pointer big men. He will force our bigs to defend him out on the perimeter and leave Duhon and Robinson to perform layup drills. _________________ Eighth grade key phrases are crucial tools for this type of subterfuge: "team player", "make teammates better", "ballhog", "selfish", "court vision": all dripping with sanctimony and defamation. |

I'll take that bet, if you lose you have to change your handle to IluvvvCeltics. |

Blowout. Drew will destroy them. _________________ "After watching Bryant and Cooper go at it for about 10 minutes West stood up, nodded at two team public-relations men he'd brought with him, and snapped, 'That's it, let's get out of here, I've seen enough. He's better than anyone on our team.'" |

How is the wing being on the wing forcing our bigs out? I didnt know Luke Walton was a big. |

just get a hand up when they shoot 3s. they are basically goldenstate of last year, chucking 3s everywhere. they could easily go on a 10-0 run or be on the opposite end of one. _________________ Dominating every day. |

NY front line is Lee, Harrington and Chandler. Both Harrington and Chandler can shoot 3's so if Harrington has Luke on him, Gasol should still step outside to challenge Chandler. _________________ Eighth grade key phrases are crucial tools for this type of subterfuge: "team player", "make teammates better", "ballhog", "selfish", "court vision": all dripping with sanctimony and defamation. |

It will be another ugly Laker game, but we will get the W.
The Lakers have this "Hey as long as we win who cares how it's done" mindset, until they really get made fools out of they won't get the point that its a horrible mentality to have |

i think we have to play at our tempo to take this game. slow the ball down and run the offense. lets face it, we cant run with teams. |

lol
i wouldn't take that deal unless i get something around $1M if I win. Plus a guarantee that the Lakers will be champions for years to come.
Seriously though, I really think Nate Robinson will be imposing himself on our guards the whole night. I predict another sloppy game as well. |
