SO GREG SMITH IS GOING TO BE A DADDY!!!!

 

@WojYahooNBA: Y! Source: Lakers forward Jordan Hill will miss a minimum of a week with a hip injury. http://t.co/m9nR1NSO

 

Great lol. There tallest player on the court will probably be kobe.

 

Gasol, Howard, Hill out. That leaves Jamison, Earl Clarke and Robert Sacre. Harden should torture then rim and Omer should massacre the glass.

 

Im worried about this stretch.

We cant get complacent tomorrow vs a team that will play small ball then match our pace.

Next night vs a tough NO team that should have Eric Gordon.

Then Boston with Avery Bradley and Rondo.

Saturday vs a sixers team thats tough for us.

Those last 3 games on the road, none of the teams are back to back.


Last time I got really excited about us I was brought back to earth by SAS and OKC games.

 

Yeah exactly. This is going to be rough. Boston will be a loss our back court won't be able to handle there defense. NOLA will be a tough one with Gordon who didn't play in the last game as well. NOLA just beat the Spurs so we are in for a battle hopefully Lin figures out how to handle there shotblockers & Gordon doesn't go off on us. That is why I am praying we wipe the floor with LAL so that we can just rest our starters. Sixers I think we can handle. We will have to guard Jrue Holliday which I feel confident that Lin will do a solid job of kind of like he did with Kyrie. If we split the next 4 games (2-2) I will be pleased.

 

Yep! A son this time. He's already got a beautiful baby girl.
He's a great kid and I bet gonna be a great daddy.

Can someone please make a thread for his birthday?

awesome! :grin:

 

With all the players injured this actually makes me nervous. Before it was a dysfunctional team, but now the backups might be playing for their next contract...

 

The lakers front line of Howard, Pau and Hill just went to Sacre, Jamison and clark. Their front line makes 2 Million COMBINED this season, compared to 43 million.

 

this is a total trap game -- i mean the rockets have ever reason to come in over confident for this game and then get blown out. I mean Jamison can still put up points, Artest always seems to do well against Houston and not to mention Nash and Kobe. I am a bit worried actually -- last game we got back in it by Hack a Dwight -- thats not there anymore

 

Exactly, I am a bit nervous as well. Everyone needs to step up.

 

Tomorrow should be interesting

 

I like the second one because it has more frames. I can only imagine what the fans of the opposing team is thinking. Does it seem that the crowd is watching them?

 

if we lose this game, it will be a shame, lol.

At least it won't be as bad as losing to the wizards like the Thunder just did lol (Beal with a winning field goal with .3 sec)
