This "Blazers team's no joke this season. Lakers better come out with some real intensity in this one or it'll be a long evening...

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

Another early test for our boys. If Hill doesn't suit up gonna need either Kaman or Sacre to try to match up vs Aldridge and clog the middle.

Agreed. And that's an area where the Lakers have had a hard time all season...

 

[Retroram52]

WE got hammered in the paint against the Pisstones (like 76 points) and teams know they can exploit Gasbag because he has that typical European nice-guy BS that leads teams to pound the paint. With Gasbag, Hill, Sacre, and Kaman, our presence in the paint is next to non-existent and we need these guys to start growing a pair and begin rejecting shots and rebounding rather than focus on scoring which Don'tknowi has our bigs doing right now. Portland will definitely go there because they know that is where they can get easy baskets and draw fouls. We need to change that.

Talk about stark truth. Nice guys finish last as the old saying goes. Gotta get mean and greedy on the inside...

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Lakers need somebody that can just get nasty down low, he doesn't need to be a star, just somebody that will send a message & knock some one on their ass & send a message for trying to attack the basket.

Maybe Sacre can do that if he gets some more playing time, If not we need to look for a trade becauase this could be a big problem for us all season, especially with no Shot blocker.

 

[Retroram52]

Gasbag used to block shots but now he has gotten wussified-I don't know why. Yea we need a presence and maybe SAcre can bring that but don't expect anything from Don'tknowi. This is going to have to come from Madsen and Rambis coaching somebody into that role.

Big game.. Leggo Lakers

Hill and Gasol should play

Good news we need both of them to play :ear:

GO LAKERS!!!

 

[Chilipepper]

I think Kaman can get a lot more Ill inside on defense than Gasbag. Just tell him that's your job tonight. Guard the paint.


Lakers 104
Trailblazers 103

And hopefully that final margin is from a 3 from Blake at the buzzer and he looks at the camera and says "Take that Chili!! Who sucks now?"

Was living in Florida for that one and it was a late game.


I was watching it and let's just say, I woke up the whole house and a couple of neighbors!!

 

[Retroram52]

Wow LALakersboy. I am green with envy!!

 

[Silas]

Hate to say it, but Lakers are in for a long night.

Lakers are like the Rams right now. They're pretty good against so so teams, but disappear against the top teams.

But, as always, I will be cheering for the Lakers with the ghost of Chick Hearn!
