vs.


Tuesday 11/18/2008
Game Time: 10:30 PM ET
Site: Staples Center


Game Notes:

Los Angeles Lakers

- Coming off a poor performance against the Pistons at home.
- Lakers are 7-1 overall and 3-1 at home.


Chicago Bulls

- Bulls are coming off a 2 game win streak to take their record to 5-5.
- Chicago is 0-3 on the road and allow 96 pts per game.


Drfunk's Notes:

- Yes the Lakers lost to the Pistons at home. It was bad for me to even know while watching it on my new Tmobile G1 phone in the movie theatres Live. I hated it, it felt like crap but I realized that the Lakers won't be perfect. So knowing that it makes me feel better and makes my readers feel better hopefully. The Lakers are good darn it! They're really good. I mean come on, They lost to the Pistons by what? 9 points? They needed that wake up call telling them to get physical, and trust me, they will be. The Lakers get this next game a little easy against the 5-5 Chicago Bulls who are still trying to find themselves. The Bulls are 0-3 on the road which is really good for us, but I'm looking forward to the Phoenix game when the Lakers march into Shaq's house. Suns and Laker matchups are always good. A break down of the next 5 games? Chicago, Phoenix, Denver (without AI but Chauncey), Sacramento, and NJ which doesn't seem too hard. Really easy teams with the exception of Denver.

Drfunk's Notes:

- So the Lakes finished off the Bulls last night, and guess what? Gasol stepped up. Gasol always usually steps up but it's usually Kobe taking the spotlight but last night, it was all Gasol baby! The Lakers I have to admit looked really good until they sat out Kobe and watched a 18 point lead fade away. I was a little upset watching that because it looked like last years Lakers. Get a big lead, then you let it go away. They can't do that anymore. The Lakers need to learn how to finish off teams. I would love to see a game where it's over by the 2nd quarter and the Lakers continue to see how much they can score.
