Turiaf tonight... predictions

bambam · Star Player Joined: 03 Jul 2003 Posts: 9013

Quite possibly the only reason i have any interest in the game tonight.

what can we expect from him tonight?

anyone have any predictions?

min, points, boards...etc....?

This guy sure isnt the savior of this team...But it will be nice to have someone that can catch the ball and hold it.

I'll predict that he will get:

0 minutes.

I don't see Phil playing him. If anything, Phil has a flair for the dramatic, and will want his first game back to be in LA.

i hope he is met with the best 'slow clap' in staples history.

I think Phil has had enough of Kwame and will give Turiaf some minutes.

Depends what minute he gets if he gets 8-10 minutes then he will get

2 Points 6 rebounds.

If get gets 15 minutes

then he will get 6 points and 8 rebounds.

I'm not expecting him to play no more then 6-7 minutes.

Yesterday I bet my right nut that Ronnie would not play. Today I'm pretty comfortable betting my left nut that Ronnies stat line will remain: 0 points/0 rebounds/ in 0 minutes played. It's gonna be at least two weeks before he see's time on the floor. Definitely after the All Star break....

Turiaf should be a starter and also Bynum, at least we'll have two shot blockers, cause Cook or George can't really play D very well.

Turiaf is activated?

with pj's recent comments about kwame, and us in the middle of a 4 game skid. he could very well plat tonight simply to add some kind of spark for a team low on energy. and possibly to threaten kwames minutes a game.

i'd like to see him play 8-10 minutes. and w/out mihm against yao, we may see more bynum and some turiaf.

ronny needs to be part of the lineup down the stretch. he solidifies the rotation with the loss of profit, walton and mckey in the lineup:

Mihm 30min
Cook 30min
Odom 40min
Kobe 40min
Smush 30min

Brown 18min
George 18min
Sasha 18min
Turiaf 8min

I would hope to see him in for a good 12+ minutes tonite.......I dont think he is the "savior",and dont see monster numbers coming from him that will really alter the game to the Lakers advantage............But.......

I do see him injecting more passion,effort,spirt and all out hustle......something that I hope will be contageous,and will pump up the other guys and pick this deflated team up........

I think eventually he can be a guy that has his minutes grow due to his play.......but for tonite a good 12 would be my quess.......I would like to see more,and a great impact from him,we need an injection of life,he is a guy that can give it...........

It's selfish I know, but I'm hoping the Lakers put Ronny in for the first time on Saturday vs. the Grizzlies. I have row 1, center, premium seats to that game

the only way he makes it on the court is for the "feel good story" mainly for the fans at staples to appreciate what he's come back from. as far as contributing to the game, Phil wont play him in the second half!

When was the last scrimmage of Ronnie with the team? I would love for Ronnie to taste the NBA tonight but knowing Phil, I doubt it.

36 minutes, overtime game, Kwame fouls out in 12 mins, Ronny Steps up, scores 24 points, grabs 12 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.
