Play Good defense onearl boykins

lakers by 14!

Dear god, not Earl "Laker Killer" Boykins again. I thought the nightmare season was over.

This is a team with nothing to play for, however they've been putting a whoopin' on some teams that didn't expect it this season, including the Lakers.

With luck we'll stay with them in the first half, jump on them in the 3rd, and rest some starters in the 4th.

yeah, i hate being reminded of earl
he can really step up at the end of the game like last time we met
golden state lost to clippers at home!
but agreed on gs playing very well against us
so we need to stay close and open our lead as soon as possible

whew... for a while I was wondering if the Lakers had it in them to beat the Warriors.

WAYYYYY too many offensive boards for the Warriors... especially against a team that says thay are in Playoff form right now. Do that against a team like the Mavs and it will be over before you know it.

The Warriors could have won that game if Arenas didn't try to take over in the 4th. I guess he figured he had 12 more minutes to inflate his free agent contract.
