Game Thread: Los Angeles Lakers (8-10) @ New Orleans Hornets (5-11)
-
I'm shocked the Lakers aren't getting Nash AND Gasol back tonight, it would be fitting lol
-
I'm assuming Pau Gasol is out again.
-
He is, out indefinitely.
They also let him know that if the situation doesn't change (his play on the court in D'Antoni's system) then they will move him.
-
They aren't exactly setting the world on fire, but we just don't have enough weapons right now.
-
Doesn't Kobe pass 30,000 points tonight?
-
They suffered a heartbreak last night in Houston.
-
I wish Gasol and Davis were playing. Want to see how AD would do defensively.
-
PELS STEAL THIS ONE :coolg:

Yep. He only needs 13 points I believe.

Yeah he only needs 13. Will have that by halftime. Anyone thinks he plays long enough to pass KAJ? He is about 8,300 points away
-
My lame Laker fan brother and I are flying in from Corpus today just for the game, ill be rocking my Dan Dickau jersey at the bottom of section 114.... Come holler. FYI - David Stern will be in attendance to see Kobe get 30,000.

Sometimes you look at him and think ya sure he can play for at least 4 more seasons with 25ppg, but then on other nights you're not as sure if he should. Honestly, I feel like unless he is competing for a title, if he stays way past his prime he will be kind of tarnished (too strong of a word) that he was chasing the all time scoring record which would suck. It's really all gonna depend on what he does after this contract.
-
I'd love to see him scoring only 12 points in a loss.

Lakers are 48-19 lifetime vs. the Hornets franchise.
In three games last season the Hornets dropped all three in tight games 93-91, 88-85, and 107-101(OT).
Last Hornets win vs. the Lakeers was a 93-88 playoff win in LA to tie the series 2-2 in the 2010/11 playoffs.
Last Home win for the Hornets was 1 week proir to open the series 1-0 with a 109-101 win.
But like you, I think the Hornets steal this one if they just let Kobe have his and lock down everyone else.
I just hope the Hornets are not looking at the Lakers 8-10 record.

And Pau was playing in all 3 IIRC. If NO keeps this tight and adheres to the hack-a-Dwight plan late, they win this game.

The Hornets could probably actually beat the Lakers, but the refs won't give them that opportunity. 5 v 8 tonight. Not gonna bother recording.

Let's go Pels

Win. I honestly dont think it is that big of a deal to be the team that Kobe scored his 30,000th point against.

If the latter happens the former is likely.

Totally forgot that the wife and I have those "Beat L.A." shirts. Oh it's ON tonight. :coolg:
-
My three hopes in order for tonight:
1) A Pels win.
2) Anderson hitting 6 treys and rubbing in the fact that the Lakers can't touch him.
3) Kobe shooting 4/17 for 12 points.
-
Even better than Kobe scoring only 12: Kobe not scoring at all.
-
FEAR THE NECK SACK! Let's get it!
-
why doesn't COX ever show the game as scheduled? Last game it showed HS Volleyball and tonight college BB. Is it on 1038?

Did you actually put the channel on? Or did you just go by what your guide said?
My guide didn't say the Hornets game was on last game either but it was on.

Last time we played in LA Kobe went scoreless for the first 3 quarters for the first time in his career. And it wasn't for lack of trying. I think he took 17 or 18 shots before he got his first basket. Then he had a pretty decent 4th quarter with 11 points. We kept him under 13 the last time we played. I think it would be awesome if we held him to 12.

Hunny, UM, Yes, I did. I certainly will find it if its on BUT: the ? remains: why doesn't COX ever show the game as scheduled? there must be someone who's noticed the error by now, at COX.

I'm confused as to your question as to why doesn't COX ever show the game as scheduled. Are you meaning why isn't it on your guide? Because every game they've said they'd broadcast has been shown.
ETA: Only sometimes does the scheduled game appear or not appear on my guide. Like tonight it says College Basketball will be on but I know the Hornets will be on. I don't know. Maybe they're still working out the kinks of this new channel.
-
I'm nervous... The guide on my cable tv is saying FSNO will be airing college basketball (a UTSA game)

Wait is that not Nash shooting in the background? Thought he was out?
-
Im psyched for this one. I think gv can have a big game playing against duhon. He is hot garbage!!! I think lopez will give howard fits all night with his length. I am really warming up to lopez as our starting center. I think he will be even better off when we get a healthy brow back. Geaux hornets!!!! N.O. 94 L.A. 89

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure all the local media did earlier though
-
Stern may have requested not to be asked that question. He really can't comment on it till its official anyway. Would have just regurgitated what he has already said.
