Kobe v. Shaq is what everyone is talking about, but honestly, this matchup wikll be decided on the big men. It depends on how well Pau and Andrew and Lamar play against Stoudamire and Shaq. If we can neutralize their frotncourt, while our frontcourt keeps scoring we should be fine. The only bench threat in Phoenix is Barbosa and Hill, who we can't let catch on fire. Nash needs to be stopped as well. Kobe will be fine. Bench needs to step it up on both ends this game.
And once again, I have to work. I might just leave work early to catch this game...but we'll see. As for the game, I expect the Lakers to win. I think the length and athleticism of Pau and Bynum could at least give Shaq some issues defensively...and quite frankly, Amare is basically a black hole on defense, so I'm not worried about us being able to score on him either. My main concern is can we stop them. They have a rather physical frontcourt and Pau is, to say the least, a finnesse player. I think we'll be fine, but that's my only real concern.
Who gives a shiiiiitttt about Kobe vs Shaq........I wanna see BYNUM vs SHAQ........w00000t! Gonna be a good one.. Unfortunately my dumbass agreed to go double dating with my friend and his girlfriend to a comedy club tonight, so I'm gonna have to watch it when I get home late at night =/
That's gonna be the last time my ass makes plans that interfere with the Lakers! Anytime anyone asks me if I'm down to do something...I'm gonna use that corny line "Gotta check my schedule" The Laker's schedule that is!! It's so annoying too..I gotta tell my buddies not to text during games about plays n stuff....they've learned now though, they text first and say "Are you live right now?" Cuz I'm always watching it on delay hahaha
ah.....my god, my friend who i was double dating with tonight just called me and saw his girlfriend got into an accident and she's being rushed to the hospital....Gonna go with my girl to the hospital in a few minutes...from the sound out of it some broken bones and broken arm...etc....Will keep you guys updated =(
OT: Damn i had $50 on det +7 winning over Boston and what did they do? they get blown out... ive got another $50 on the lakers winning over the +4.5 suns... Lakers dont let me down...
Vlad gets the steal, alley-oop to Kobe, fouled by Raja. Made em both. Vlad gets another steal off the deflection, Andrew loses the ball. Pau misses the jumper. Shaq just schooled Andrew...goodness gracious. Kobe misses the layup...Barnes with the fastbreak layup. Amare just blocked Andrew. Kobe lost it again. Barnes gets the three.
