With the Spurs coming off of a loss, and LA coming off a win this game becomes even bigger. Let's finally beat a good team plz!

[D-Fish]

Lakers will play good but the Spurs will still win because they'll play great

[Saber]

Payback time ! Go Lakers !

[J-H!zZl3]

Well the Lakers have played well in payback games, so I'm hoping to see the same on Thursday. SA destroyed them in the first meeting, so I'm expecting them to maybe care about this game. I wonder if Drew will play, though.

You're a great fan.. (sarcasm)

I hope Lakers could finally beat a good team. They've been schooled by the Boston Celtics this weekend so I hope it won't be the same against the Spurs. Pau Gasol needs to play aggressive tomorrow night and stop being a sissy that whines every time he doesn't get a wanted call. San Antonio Spurs is is a team that is known for their defensive pressure but also for their corner shooting spot up threes so I hope LA could stop that tomorrow night.

Let's get the win and build a good long winning streak, while building the Spurs' second loss in a row!

Well I would agree with that if this was the Spurs from the past few seasons. They aren't that great of a defensive team anymore and their 3 point defense has been terrible this year (too bad LA can't take advantage of that though). They play defense in spurts and just overwhelm teams with their offensive execution, dribble penetration, a little of Duncan in the post and spot up threes, as you mentioned.

This. It's not so much San Antonio locking down a team for 48 minutes ala Boston as much as it keeping it close/maintaining a 4-5 lead throughout, then suddenly have a spurt where they get consecutive stops and build up a double digit lead. San Antonio's biggest issues this season have been the inability to stop teams (though this has only happened a handful of times), which has resulted in losses agains the likes of ORL (who burned them), NYK (outscored), and Portland yesterday (LaMarcus Aldridge, unstoppable). The only way we'll win is if we play GREAT defense and have damn near perfect execution. The slightest lull in action on the offensive end and disinterest defensively will blow the game WIDE open for San Antonio.

Agreed. The Hornets is the only team to beat SA twice and that is because they pretty much locked them down for 48 minutes. When the Hornets blew them out in New Orleans, their offense wasn't that great but their defensive intensity was impeccable.

[NYCLakerfan]

Wouldn't be surprised if SA goes to the playoffs and gets upset by the Hornets if they meet. But anyway I think were gonna win this game tmrw.

[Simba]

We really need a convincing win against a top tier team. Hopefully all this trade talk and Kobe calling people out stuff ignites a fire under our [expletive].

do not get me wrong I really want them to win and hopefully they do pull off the Win I'm just trying to be realistic but I hope I'm wrong

This is a trap game. We have the Hornets on Sat.


My keys to the game
-Play defense
-Force Parker to go baseline
-PLAY PERIMETER DEFENSE
- Handle Duncan
- get back in transition
- easy on the turnovers
- And let the offense flow

WTF, how is this a trap game? It's the San Antonio Spurs. The team that's won 40-8. Why would they overlook the SPURS and be focused upon the HORNETS?

going to this game tomorrow. Must win game.

Damn it don't you know almost every game has been a trap game so far.
