***UNOFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Lakers vs. Blazers (Jan 11th)***

Ok kiddoes, post your predictions before we get started

I've got Portland giving us a better game than we might expect for the
first 3 quarters or so, then us pulling away towards the end for a win
of 10 points or so.

Cant wait for Kobe to drop 80 on the so call ''Kobe Stoper''

I predict a low-key offensive game for Kobe but a good overall game and a victory. He'll probably save some energy for tomorrow. 25-30 points.

Just like the guy at insidehoops said: "Patterson calls himself the Kobe-stopper , I call myself the Scalabrine stopper, everytime I guard him I can hold him down to 27 points"

thats friggin hilarious

Yeah I'd love to see Kobe keep the streak going, but we've seen alot of
times this season and last where he'll score a ton for a couple games in
a row, and once the defenses are keying in on him he'll switch to passer-
mode for the first half (or sometimes whole game) when he knows they
are expecting the opposite. That's when you'll see him go for 8 assists
in a first-quarter, and then 2 in the second (where he returns to scoring-
mode).

Dallas and the Knicks are in a good tight game right now by the way,
Dallas just took the lead back after being down for most of the game,
now Mavs 103, Knicks 101 with 1:31 left.

Interview with Ruben on the Portland broadcast (NBA Season Pass)...

Paraphrasing here, but basically he just said "Kobe is unreal man, there's
just nothing you can do when a guy is that hot. He's not like any other
player out there."

Again, paraphrasing, but there was no kinda "I'm the Kobe Stopper"
coming outta his mouth... just thought I'd post it since it might not be
on the L.A. broadcast.

Is Telfair injured or something?

Looks like one of the trademarks, of this new Laker team, will be the inability to consistently finish those easy layups, and chippies.

Smush and Mihm were right there, under the basket, and couldn't figure how to convert... Kobe and Lamar starting early.

Kwame can't.

Where was the foul?

LakersSpirit · Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:19 pm Post subject:

Even Portland can slice to the basket on us... Smush plays defense, like his name sounds.
