    Loser of 4 games in a row, the Lakers will come into this game with a vengeance.

    The Blazers have their own losing streak (2 in a row) and will want to get back to their wining ways with a victory at home, but it'll be no easy task against the best team in the West currently.

    Lakers on twice as long of a losing streak. If only that would continue!

    Looking at the starting lineups, there are some glaring inequalities. I mean, Anthony Davis versus Melo: how in the world is Davis supposed to stop Melo?

    Look, I don't trust this team against anyone..

    But I will always say FUCK the L*kers, and beat them. If we swept them and never won another game all year besides that, I would be very much okay with that.

    The same way that Bazemore is gonna stop LeBron of course. (or maybe LeBron won't play?) I noticed Davis seemed afraid to go against Harrel one on one. Do we have anyone like that on our team?

    I am working that night and I'm not sure if they have a wifi hotspot nearby. My plan is to upset the clients by informing them that the son actually has nothing wrong with him, that it's all in his head. Then I will remind the mom that state law says we can not do any work for her since she is not our client; i.e. if the most recent caregiver vacuumed, now it is her turn, not mine! Same for dishes. I am hoping that by seven they will be so annoyed that they will call the office and ask that my shift be terminated. I don't really like going there anyway.

    Who's going?

    Lakers are missing Cousins so that cancels out missing Nurk, Collins and Hood!

    Pretty sure that means this game will be logged in the "W" column.

    Blazers got this!

    Go Blazers! Screw the Lakers on every level!

    Kjironman is a fan!

    Their two best players - bigger wings who are very good on both sides of the ball.
    Our two best players - smaller guards who are quite good on one side of the ball.

    It is what it is. Tough to over come that when your 'stars' aren't as good as their stars AND are smaller.
