And Kyrie Irving should be back from his injury that has kept him sidelined the last 3 weeks. Joy.

It always seems like guys that are out with injury get healthy just in time to play the Lakers and tear them a new one.

Jeez I really don't know anymore, but I'm leaning more to a win.

[Disaster in Paradise]

I have no clue, lol.

[bigfetz]

Man this is a must win.

[Honey Boo Boo]

We'll win this game.

[muncher]

It's hard to tell what will happen!

[Saber]

Please win ..

[TheOriginalCZM]

Be prepared for another upset guys....of course you know the cavs are going to try and run/ out hustle the Lakers on every possession.

[Goku]

Lakers gonna lake

Blowout loss as usual. They easily dominated the Lakers in the past at the Quicken Loans, we also lost twice to the pathetic LeBron-less Cavs, so you already know the score for tonight's game.

Kyrie stat line:

30/5/10, 3 steals

L - until something else happens.

I will say this - two match-ups with the Knicks on the horizon between now and 12/25 - possibly both without Nash, will hopefully motivate this team to really go after the low-hanging fruit (Cleveland and Washington).

Wouldn't it be great if Nash comes back on Christmas Day and we don't suffer our all too common blowout?

wait and see... u cant predict nothing with this lakers team

[foreveryoung]

This is a must win game for us, from now on, every game is a must win for us. I'm not panicking, but for god sakes, we're almost half way through the season. And if we don't start winning now, we won't make even make the playoffs, and if we do, we don't want to face OKC in the first round.

So from now on, the Lakers need to start taking [expletive] seriously.

[serenityy]

Irving is going to have his way, Dwight will rotate, and then O rebound galore for side show bob.

[LakeShow805]

My prediction is we lose. The team has some sort of meeting or some [expletive]. And they go on a huge run. Hopefully

[K-Kris]

Must win for sure. Its sad to say we dont know which lakers are going to show up. We need to cut down on our turnovers and prevent CLE from getting offensive rebounds. If we do that, i see us pulling out a win - a win that this lakers team, & us fans, need right now.

[lildvl10]

i just.. dont want to get my hope up anymore.. its just more painful that way..

[Real Deal]

Looked up a few stats for us. Just so you guys know...

Cleveland w/ Kyrie Irving (2-8)

Offensive Stats: 95.7 PPG, 358/846 FG (42.3%), 78/220 3PT (35.5%), 15.5 TO/G
Defensive Stats (Allowed): 102.7 PPG, 390/775 FG (50.3%), 72/206 3PT (35.0%), 16.7 TO/G

Translation: they are bad, even with Kyrie.

We will probably lose.

The way to win? Two-man game, Kobe and Howard all night. Shooters will just line the perimeter and do nothing more than launch when they are open. Beat Cleveland with raw talent on the offensive end, and stop everyone BUT Irving back on defense (because Kyrie isn't going to beat us alone, and we don't have anyone that can slow him down to begin with).

Let's see what's wrong with this post:

Dominated? Hardly. Since 2008, the Lakers lost to the Lebron led Cavs in Cleveland twice, once by 6 points and the other by 4.

We've only loss once to the Lebron-less Cavs two years ago, which is the only time we faced them in Cleveland, we didn't face them last season. That year we lost to them we ironically beat them by 55 earlier in the season.
