    Thabeet will dominate and bully Bynum

    This is where no Chuck Hayes hurts. Scola will have to defend another Gasol. If we can contain the front court, we can beat them. Lowry's going to go off again. Martin will have another solid game offensively, but I think his defense improves from terrible to mediocre in this game. It has been improving.

    The key to winning against the Lakers tomorrow is pace.
    They have two 7 footers but especially Bynum is not in very good game shape.
    Hill/Patterson/Scola/Dalembert has to beat him down on each possession early.
    A tired player is less aggressive on the offensive end where he could really hurt us.
    Right now we are playing at something like 20th in pace.

    Taking Bynum/Gasol out of the game is key to our gameplan.

    Key point is defence ;

    Bynum - Gasol , Hill - Scola

    They are more powerful than us inside , Sammy should get more minutes tomorrow.

    An since Battier gone , we don't have a star-defender.Courtney Lee is an option but K-mart will be on the court and Kobe could be a bigger problem.

    And Lakers going bad man , they will do everything to get a win in Staples Center with their fans because , fans started to complain.They lost to Denver :)

    K-Mart shooting well lately , Lowry is leading the team sharing the ball.And if Scola can create something under Bynum and Gasol then We will win.But before all of this Defence man defence like Hawks game.

    I think one team will blow out the other, just like every Rocket game this season.

    We should try to start a fight, tell Thabeet to start a fight with Bynum, maybe push him so his foot breaks.

    It's only fair after what they did to Yao.

    Kyle Lowry poops on Derek Fisher or whatever hot mound is playing point.

    Lowry will go off on Fishers corpse. Time for him to get national recognition :).

    Fisher's mind is still on the negotiation table during the lockout.

    Make sure T-Will and Court play d on Kobe for most of the game, bench Johnny Flynn and hope that Jordan Hill shows up.

    Then, we might have a chance in LA


    Back home, I think we've got em'.

    They should activate Hasheem for this game. Specially with the way Bynum is playing, were gonna need those extra 6 fouls.

    This.

    I could easily see Hill and Scola getting into foul trouble within 5 minutes from tip-off. We are going to need size; otherwise, we may see a repeat of the recent Menphis game where we lost the game because we couldn't control the other Gasol and Z-Bo.
