Tonight is our first game since our streak ending embarassment against Detroit. Look for us to come back and play hard to make up for that. This is also our first taste of Derrick Rose, and for me personally, my first look at him outside of the highlight reels. Bulls do not have an inside game whatsoever, and that is something that we need to dominate. We also have to make sure Ben Gordon does not get hot, it's kinda like JR Smith, if he gets going, then he's gone. If we can contain Rose, limit Gordon's shooting, and dominate the inside, then this game should be relatively easy, but easier said than done.
Should be a fairly easy win for the Lakers, no disrespect to the bulls. But after the loss against Detroit, I don't see us losing this one. A couple days ago I said the line would be -12, well it's -13, and that's probably what will happen, a double digit win for the Lakers. Interested to see how Phil goes with the replacement of Vlad. Will this be Luke's time to go out there and shine and prove he's worthy of a few more minutes? We'll see.
You gonna be watching this game on FSN ill? Or are you an out of state fan? I think Ariza gets the start, so look closely at how Lamar takes that. Also Sasha should get more minutes, look for a Farmar-Sasha-Ariza(Kobe) lineup out there alot.
I think this should be a pretty easy win. The Bulls have ZERO inside presence, so we should be able to dominate down low with Bynum and Gasol. My only worry is that Derrick Rose will torch us tonight. Being realistic, Fisher has no chance of keeping up with him or staying in front of him...and I don't know if Farmar does either. I wouldn't be shocked it Rose drops somewhere around 30 tonight.
DW, I'm really upset this season I no longer have FSN HD via DirecTV, it's so annoying. These games are too hard to watch in Standard Def when you got so used to HD. I gotta call up DTV and ask wtf happened to my channel.
I only ever watch it on normal FSN and that crap of a quality KCAL 9. Although I have the capability to watch it on HD, but that's only if I watch it on the TV in the living room, which is connected to the kitchen, which is where my stepmother is....so..yeah this decision was easy for me to just stay in my room.
Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah are going to play pissed off that the Grizzlies would rather trade Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown than for them, and come out, and completely abuse Gasol to lead the Bulls to victory. Okay...The Bulls probably win the backcourt matchup, draw at small forward, and get crushed by the Lakers frontcourt, leading to about a 12 point Lakers win.
At least you guys have the option to watch every game, I don't. However, tonight I should be able to watch if I get out of work early enough. Since it's a Chicago game, it should be on Comcast for me tonight, so I should be able to watch it. Again though...this all assumes I can get out of work early...otherwise, no chance. Damn working 'til midnight anyways.
we should abuse them in the post. Hopefully our guards will try and pass the ball again, seeing as how that seems to be more effective than chucking up early shots from the perimeter.
Im anxious to see how L.O. plays tonight. He was pretty upset at the end of the Detroit game. I'm actually one of the only big Odom fans in this forum, atleast thats how it seems and I really wanna see him do well. Don't wanna see him get traded either. I know I kinda got off topic just wanted to throw that out there.
Vlad started... Look at Lamar's line!!! 8 pts 4-6FG 6rebs 4 assists 3BLOCKS 3Steals (of course gasol's is better so far lol) BTW, who is Kobe guarding? Rose or Gordon? Damn... Kobe has a good stat line, but he shouldnt let Rose outplay him like that.
Kobe is guarding Gordon. So far so good but the defense looks lazy at times. They're doing a good job on offense. If they keep attacking then they will win.
