Fri. 1/7 - Lakers vs Hornets - Predictions & Comments

A great game to watch tonight after a long day at work. Go Lakers!!!

I know that this is only a "regular-season" game, but I hope the Lakers treat this like a must-win. With the Mavs loss last night, it's a good opportunity for them to move up in the standings. I expect the Hornets to come in ready to play, since they were blown out at home last time, so the Lakers had better bring it. With LO's injury, the other bigs will have to step up, especially Pau, since he's been struggling lately. Please get our weekend off to a good start with a win, Lakers. Thanks.

^ Agree. Need to catch up with the Mavs now with Dirk being out for only a few more games.

Must win Lakers. Let's go!

Yes, Kobe and Fish presented DJ with his ring. The Lakers organization is so classy!

Aww that's disappointing, that it wasn't shown live. At least he got a ceremony though

I think it's safe to say Pau will score more today.

arizas gonna have 20+ points today

Bucks choking it away

We need to learn how to pass to our big men.

Why does Fisher and Kobe roam into the post with Drew in the game on D? I get it a little bit if Drew isn't in, but with his D in the post why do those 2 and the other guards get so low in the post and leave the 3 point shooters wide open? Just wondering if anyone else knows what they are thinking.

Especially more so than usual since we're facing a zone.

Beautiful passing in that fast break

Nice fast break!!!

Beautiful passing!
