Good luck Banzai. One of the few quality laker posters here.
Just saw on Espn that Kobe is out for this game..now the question is..how big will the final score be?

Let's see Bynum try to pass out of double teams.
Even without Kobe, Lakers will play their asses off and bring their A game. Spurs will be in a dogfight. I see this game unfolding like the Boston game. Spurs will charge ahead early, but the Lakers interior will slowly wear down the Spurs and the Lakers will creep back into the game, making for a nailbiter of a 4th quarter.
It all depends on how badly the Lakers want to maintain 3rd seed, Spurs are likely settling for 2nd
I shudder at the thought of Steve Blake trying to stop Tony Parker. I should probably just laugh at it.![]()
He'll be trying to stop Patty Mills. Patty Mills usually stops himself so Blake won't have to work too hard.
somewhat of a measuring stick game .... they had one against OKC and literally ted in their drawls ......
Will Bynum get ejected?
Which Lakers role player will have a career night?
How many 3's will Bonner miss in the 4th quarter?
Wow...Venti, Banzai, and Pass in one thread. 3 of the top Laker posters...very impressed. Should be a good game. Wondering if Pop is going to rest anyone to counter Kobe sitting?
Should be a good game(hopefully).![]()
Expecting Bynum to have a so-so game, but MVPau will drive the lakeshow bus tonite, and Barnes to be the unexpected big scorer playa. I think (hope) the Spurs will take the game, but it will be compe ive till the end.
depends, if our bench isnt high when they are playing, we might have a chance

This has letdown game written all over it for the Spurs.
Let Gasol eat what he wants and flash double Bynum in the post, forcing him to try to pass out. Spurs should be able to destroy them on the perimeter on both ends.
Lakers bigs going ape. Spurs shooters going ape.
Yeah...I'm feeling that too...which is why I'll be attending the game here tonight instead of upstairs.
Should be a good game til dem benches hit the floor, tbh.
Dunno how much Pop tips his hand for a possible playoff matchup. So i'm not sure he doubles Bynum that much. Probably just leaves Blair out there as a sacrificial lamb.
Would have been better if Kirby was playing but i expect the Spurs to win by 10+.
Meh, the big 3 are rested. coming off a loss and I think Pop has them locked in for this b2b with Memphis. I'd be surprised to see a letdown from them, tbh.
Mos definitely.
Kobe sucked most of the intrigue from this matchup ... even those saying it's a good test for the Spurs frontline, it doesnt matter because Kobe is our best post passer ... and Im sure they will double off Artest.
We wont be able to get a good gauge by this game.
But as Cully would say only ____ and _____ play the injury card ... if they beat us down then they beat us down.
Spurs have been battling injury all year ...no excuses, Kobe or not.
