Tues. 2/22 - Lakers vs Hawks - Predictions & Comments

I hope the All-Star break has rejuvenated the Lakers enough for them to blow out the Hawks at Staples. Please let this be a fresh start for our team.

Let's do this!!! For once I think we are going to win this game comfortably after the embarrassment in Cleveland.

the whole team got a nice long break from everything.
kobe and pau had fun at the all star game.

some thing just feels different about the lakers now. i haven't seen them play but my confidence in them is back.

we got this game.

I'm excited for the game. I feel like we're gonna see a completely different team.

So am I. Then we'll blow his team out (I hope).

What if they lose?
What if they display no effort?
Does it change your minds?
I don't expect anything but coasting until the playoffs...

Hinrich didn't play tonight because calf injury. One can only hope.

Hinrich/Booker -> Artest/Blake

I still can't belive Lewis is the second best pay player in the nba and he's owned 40+m$ over the next 2 years. Crazy stuff.

I don't care what anyone says this is a must win for this team if only to make a public statement and give them the psych advantage they need to restore themselves to their former selves. The long weekend not withstanding there appears to be a problem with Artest whose head is God knows where and not totally on his game. You could probably add Shannon who is only looking to promote his own brand and not learn the offense. We shall see. I'm just saying that losing this game will be a devasting blow to these guys who are trying to get up off the mat. This is a serious damn game and you all should realize that. The Hawks are flying high and these overrated scrubs think they can beat anyone, which is good since this is what they are paid for. But the Lakers got to get up and come out swinging!!!!

Hope for a strong game...hopefully Lamar is over his weed hangover.

I was hoping to watch this on League Pass, NBA TV seems to have commandeered the game. League Pass was set to show it in HD too.

Lakers coverage is on now. It must have been a basketball report.
