Must win game along with the Denver/Utah games for those still naively hoping we can pull out a miracle finish. Also could break the pattern of the four game win streak ceiling so an important psychological barrier. Will be difficult without BI and Hart, but more than a fair battle since Aldridge is out. |

So many players out. Lonzo, Randle and Kuz will have to carry that one. I believe one of them has a big game and Lonzo nears a trip dub. |

Time for Lonzo and IT to show their leadership skills. Kuzma has to play a good two way game too. Can't let his shot impact his effort. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night. |

I'm getting greedy. I want 40 wins. Have to go 13-8 to close the season. Spurs are 3-7 in their last 10. This is a winnable game. Let's go Lakers! |

I didn't know Aldridge was out. This game could go either way. |

No BI, No Hart, No Problem.
Time for the Lakers to show the Spurs what the future holds. Which is us kicking their ass for the next decade or so. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Its winnable but this team has a let down game after their 4th win. _________________ Coach Vogel, Kidd, Hollins

Just noticed Spurs are giving up 99.2 ppg, lowest in the NBA. They're also 29th in pace. We're going to have to continue this frenetic pace and run them out the gym like we did in Miami. |

Josh and BI being out is actually kind of a tough blow defensively, more than anything else. Kuz needs to step up. |

could go either way. Zo has to push the pace and feed Randle. It and Zu need to stay on the court together. |

The Spurs are going to want to play the same grind it out type game that the Heat wanted to...Lakers need to push the pace in this game the same way they did against the Heat.
Not even worried about the playoff chase, would be nice to get to 40 wins. Just keep piling up the Wins. |

Wait, I thought you said that Ingram was good to go after some rest would do him good? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Pau is not 100%. I'm looking forward to this matchup. Randle should feast. |

I'd be shocked if Gasol played. I'm thinking Popovich will play this one like it's a scheduled loss. |
