4 game win streak, including a win over the Clippers - who I have been informed in the past are one of the only teams that count - and we are now taking on the Lakers.
Lakers are currently 27-26, sitting at the 9th seed, and are 19th in Net Rating. Tonight is the second game of a back to back for them, as they lost last night to Denver, so hopefully we're catching them at a rest advantage (assuming our guys have used their off time wisely).
They've been .500 for a little while now, going 10-10 over their last 20 games and the last time we played them we won 129-109.
So we should be going into this game confident but not arrogant. This one is televised and the last time we played them on TV was back in December where we famously got thrashed; this should be seen as the redemption game, despite that win earlier in January.
Let's see if the guys can put together a 5th win in a row.
