I'm interested to see how Kobe goes against his once protege Ariza. From Houston's end, if Ariza can bottle up Kobe, that would quell their fanbase re: Chandler Parsons.

| If Byron got Kobe playing SF then its like good luck trying to score with Ariza (who plays great defense) on him. |

I would think they have Ariza on him regardless of the position he plays. He's really the only scoring threat in the starting lineup. |

It sucks to see people hoping for one player to fail in order for another to succeed. I hope everyone plays well and we get the win. I hope Howard fouls out and Harden flops so bad that he gets fined.
GO LAKERS! |

This game will be a good barometer of Scotts defensive philosophy.
And will bring to light his ability to make in game adjustments and minutes management. |

Would be sweet for one night to shut up the media as Kobe lit up Har en.
Bye.

Yes, let's hope we win these two games, and make the haters eat vegetarian crows.

Totally disagree. Our bench has played much better than our starters. |

I want to see both of them cross him over, break his ankles, and THEN dunk on him. |

| Provided the remaining bigs handle Dwight, LA can win this. LA wins by 3 with low turnovers, Kobe has an efficient game. Headline: "Kobe and Lakers take down best SG Harden and his 32 points" |

It's going to be tough. Dwight might eat us alive on the boards. I'm hoping Kobe comes out on fire. Even if we lose, I want Kobe to have a great game against Howard and Harden.

Good luck with the game ending before 11pm. With Harden often looking to draw fouls rather than finishing, and with us hacking D12 (just to humiliate the h3ll out of him  )there'll be lots of FTs. |

rockets just match up well against us...
pbev will neutralize jeremy lin - they dont want lin doing well in this game
howard will neutralize hill and davis, eat sacre alive
harden and kobe will score buckets, play no defense
only thing we have to look forward is randle making tender love to tjones or dmo. |

Really? I had hope before preseason..but if he couldnt even show an ounce of it during preseason then i have no hopes of him showing it in the first couple games.

Rockets should win, it would be a shock if the Lakers can hang with them into the third quarter...we'll see...

Use Wes as the screener on plays and cause Har en to switch to a more potent offensive option, or leave Wes under the rim all game.
The backdoor option in the Princeton is Har en's worse fear since he takes his eyes off plays.

Don't overestimate pBev's defense. Lin can cause his foul trouble quickly. |
