GT: 11/12/2008 @ New Orleans Hornets

After the surprisingly tough game at Dallas, we have to face a tough opponent in New Orleans. We have to watch out for a quick PG in Chris Paul, who is having himself another MVP-like season so far. Fish has had some tough times against faster guards, but I hope we can have a better help defensive stand. Watching Pau play Dirk tonight, I'm confident in him guarding David West. Bynum should matchup well with Tyson. Kobe should be able to abuse the New Orleans SGs. I mean it's Morris Peterson. And their bench isn't much to speak about, whereas ours is the best bench in the NBA. Should be a close game, but I said the same thing about our Houston game so...yeah.

 

I expect a tough game but I do expect another win. Kobe could have a tough game depending on how much Posey plays and defends him tonight, but as long as Mo Pete is on him, he should be able to light him up. I am worried about Paul's ability to get to the hoop, but I think out length and shot-blocking ability should take away some of that.

 

By the way guys, my class doesn't end til 5:15 so I might be late to posting here.

 

Feeling pretty confident...Our new defensive scheme was made for CP3 and Paul Pierce...lets see how well it works. N.O. hasnt been playing up to standards so I dont know if that is a good or bad thing....They could be due. I want Ariza to make Peja night a nightmare. Swat those CP3 alleyoop attempts to Chandler outta there twin towers!!

 

Wilbon says that both undefeated teams are gonna lose tonight...I beg to differ.

 

I'm not that worried, I just hope we're not emotionally drained from last night's game. Should be a win though, I'm excited to see Chris Paul play. Hopefully he won't kill today...

 

Are you guys ready to get your first loss tonight?

In all seriousness, I would pick the Lakers to win this game if it wasn't the 2nd half of a back-to-back. The Lakers beat the Mavs by 7 but it wasn't like it was an easy win, so your guys will be a little tired.

If you win this game it will be because of bench play, your bench easily outshines theirs.

 

I just got home and turned on the TV.

We're up 15-9.
