Magic Outrun Lakers
Kobe Bryant tried to rally the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Orlando Magic had too many answers. Bryant tried to take matters into his own hands, scoring 16 of his season-high 41 points in the fourth quarter, but Orlando's superior depth proved decisive down the stretch. The Lakers cut a 15-point deficit to four midway through the fourth quarter on Bryant's running jumper and free throw with five minutes to play. But Orlando's bench, which outscored the Lakers, 54-13, hit key shots down the stretch to preserve the win.

I'll probably still be sleeping when this game starts... but


GO LAKERS!!!!

Wow first time in this forum that LD2K hasn't started the thread...

Anyways, hopefully it'll be a win... So far all the losses are due to back to back games. They had their rest, so hoping we could do better.

Magic is a very good running team...and were a very good turnover team. Unless we can outrebound them and hold the ball wothout fumbling it, were gonna get runned out of the building.

They're averaging 49 boards a game

The Lakers should play well this game. They seem to respond well to losses. The Magic might not be at full strengh. They will play hard and win today. They have to fly out to Houston after the game, so they gotta win today and they can take the game off tomorrow. Kidding about that last part, but as we all know, the last two road back to backs have been horrible.

I PREDICT A LOSS

Remember Shaq Fan, I specifically told you I will not respect the Heat until I actually see them beat a West Elite consistently. So far, you're team disappoints me.

Francis/Mobley vs Atkins/Bryant. That is where the game will be decided.

I think the Lakers are in for a loss tonight, the Magic have Stevie Franchise and he always gave us trouble at the point when he was in Houston and they have Mobley who gives us problems as well. Not to mention a healthy Grant Hill and the high school kid with fresh young legs. Second chance points will be a key factor. My prediction on the first 10 games was 5-5. I hope they will be at 500 after the 1st 10 but It doesn't look to good right now.
