Since the Lakers have been playing quite well this season one the road I think they might just beat up the Sonics for what happened a couple Sundays back. + RLewis who was the leading scorer in the last meeting, might not play this one.
The lakers should win cause their just like the sonics... they both thrive on their SF's and SG's and soon to shine PG'sRay Rashard and LukeKobe Odom and SmushLaker chemistry is why they would losesince Kobe is WAY better than Allen and Odom is better than rashardLakers should WIN...

Atleast he's real, UNLIKE BCB and anther half of this board
On NBA.com there was an article where it said Kobe might try and break his record tonight because of the Sonics' terrible play and the way the game just seems. i doubt he'll try to touch even 60 this year again. Kobe could get around 40, 50 tonight, remember after he plays a bad game he comes out and plays great. but lakers aren't good playing back-to-back to games so the outcome should be interesting. Lamar could play a good game against rashard lewis because rashard can't stop lamar in the lane or the paint because lamar is too fast and explosive there. lamar should look to exploit the matchup tonight. and kobe will annoy the <Censored> out of ray tonight in the perimeter, but ray can annoy kobe too, last matchup between lakers ray stopped kobe all game. but, with all this said i think the lakers will come out of the key arena victorious.
Lakers on their way to vctory. Kobe was never going to break his record, his suffering from back spasms. Damn might i say Kobe took to many shots today. He was probably trying to prove a point or something.Anyways were win, Odom with 12-10-8, Kobe with 42 points on 45% shooting which isn't excatly efficent. Kwame with 12 points and 13 boards.Go lakers.
I have to say, after watching Lamar Odom play against the Spurs, and the Sonics tonight, he's played pretty bad past two games. He needs to step it up, it's almost playoff time! Kwame definitely has, he tried to get involved offensively and did a pretty good job of it, and he was crashing the boards tonight for sure. not bad defense either. you're right kobe took too many shots tonight, but he was almost unstoppable, 43 points another 40+ point game for him, his 22nd in fact.
Odom is bound to play bad, he's been awesome for the last month. Hopefully this trend of kobe jacking up too many shots doesn't continue.Onto houston
A Shooting Guards night. Dissapointed in lettin kobe get 43 but at least its not 60 or 81.Ray lead in rebounding.... the team should feel embarrased and step up. If the young players are expecting to get better they cant count on ray for everything.Odom out plays Rashard as guessed.. and smush and ridnour were ok... If watson stops turning over the ball Lukes job is gone possibly
You could tell Kobe wanted this game. I dont care about all the shots, we got the W. That's all that matters.How about those couple of teams where the Sonics would shoot a deep jumper or 3 and Kobe would take off and be wide open for a dunk/layup. That was sweet.Good win.
