32's preview

I hope Julius can play. He was pretty sick after the Denver game and he had to see the Denver Doctors. Right now he's not listed on any injury reports. A lot of dynamics are going in this game. For those that want LAbron the question is how important is it that the Lakers win this game. Also the Lakers have the Cavs first round pick. Winning this game could help us get a better pick. Another thing is the trade that happened before the deadline. I am sure Larry, JC and IT all want to show up there old teams. Hopefully we are up for the challenge!

Not expecting a walk in the park here. Cleveland's down, but they're not out. And we are out Ingram and Hart.

It'll be weird rooting against Nance and JC. I hope they lose but I wish them well.

I just hope it's competitive and no injuries. Hopefully better sportsmanship than we've seen from Winslow and Murray, who's teams both visit Staples this coming week.

Anyhow, go Lakers!

Lebron is such a beast. Down a couple of players and maybe with Randle not in there, could be a long night for us. If Clarkson comes in there, as least we have the inside info on him....just double him and force him to make a decision, chances are decent that he’ll panic and make the wrong one lol.

If LeBron takes it easy on us, that could be a hint that he wants to help his future team.

i hope this is not a if it were a playoff game ingram would play scenario , i know we are not in a race but you get the point, because if ingram is just a little sore and would play in a playoff game, he should be in this one...this is an important game for us in a lot of ways

Look for Clarkson to try and go hero ball against his former team. But.... Clarkson will go Clarkson things and mess it up.

Lakers win

Every game IT plays, he's literally playing for his life... if he puts up 30... his value goes up a million a season... if he has another 5 for 20 type game his value goes down a million a season.

I'm pretty sure that's why he's missing a lot of easy shots... it's not due to a bad hip... he's just tight from too much pressure.

Hopefully the law of averages is on his side this game and he has a decent one...but as I said... the world is on his shoulders right now.
