He's the dark horse; j/k no....that won't even fly.....there really is no reason (or there shouldn't be) for a 24-3 team to need to get fired up to play the putrid Knickerbockers. 33-well you know a mediocre, scandal-riven, unmotivated team is um…….ah forget it….I was trying to play a facetious devil’s advocate on behalf of the Knickerbockers but….wait….wait…….watch out for Renato Balkman!!!

Unbelievable... Something along the lines of “We’ll see them in LA”

Doc Rivers has already pumped his team up with a quote from Q-Rich… firing his team up to play the KNICKS! Unbelievable…

I just want to add my voice to the thanks for the high quality of this site and the posts. This one on defense is a prime example, Laker site for 'grown up' fans. (Let's say LakersGround is the cheeseburger and soda, and this is the prime rib with cabernet...err something like that.) Much appreciated ! And well done on True Hoop too.

You know that Doc Rivers is going to find something meaningless to fire his team up. TNT's already provided a quote from Derek Fisher. Whatever. Our main task Sunday is going to be defending the 3 point line. That is going to be very tough, considering KG is in the post, but we'll have to do something. I wouldn't be very surprised if Phil gives Ariza some burn, as he seems to be our best 3 pt line defender. Too bad Ronny isn't healthy right now, because we could use him.

If their top 3 players go for 70pts then we will probably lose. This is a team we need Bynum, Kwame, and Turiaf in to contain the inside. We need to let the others stay with their men on the perimeter. We better do more than just ‘contain’ the role players for Boston if we want to win.

i cannot let myself start thinking a 4-0 streak when we are playing utah then boston… utah is a very decent team even with the recent disarray… and i dont need to say much about boston at 24-3… they key to that game might be containing their role players such as rondo, perkin and house…
