We need to defend PnR better - bigs and guards need to communicate and be on the same page. Consistent effort and discipline are needed throughout the whole 48 mins. Harden needs to be more active at defense, and Lin needs to write it on his new shoes "do NOT 'help' in the paint". We are so capable of beating LA. If we let Blake go Steve Nash on us again, I will post in that "Fire McHale" thread. EDIT: OK, Blake won't go prime Nash on us
Marshall was drafted. Lin came out of nowhere, in a league where no one comes out of nowhere. Comparisons can't even be made.
Not to mention that Marshall has to carry the Lakers to 7 wins in a row and make the playoffs as well. People already looking for signs of a fairytale barely 1 year out.
They can get 7 straight wins if they beat us and the Clippers. Their upcoming schedule isn't that tough.

We will win this one handily. Fresh legs usually help. The stars with shine and Lin will go beast mode on dribble penetration and McHale can forget coaching for this game.
Dude they're playing the Lakers. Not worth going out in public for. Heck I'd rather go buy yarn at a yard sale than to watch this game against the Lakers.
Parsons, Asik and Bev all started in the November loss to the Lakers. I guess we'll see what a different lineup can do. Hopefully we don't go down by 18 in the first four minutes like last time.
