Ever since the Hornets game, those two have been making 3-pointers like layups. |

They need to quit turning the ball over, and other then the Denver game, we have barely been forcing turnovers. Before Denver, the last 10 teams we played only averaged 7 TO's PG.. Worst in NBA .
Take care of the ball and play with energy! |

| No Kobe again and an early game on Sunday which we traditionally struggle in for whatever reason, so it'll be a dogfight. If Metta and Barnes play like they have been recently (no guarantee here obviously) then we should pull it out. It'll also depend on how engaged Pau is defensively on Dirk; if he doesn't start out lazy then he can make Dirk take some tough shots. |

The league is doing to Sessions what they did to Jeremy Lin, hard double team. He'll adjust but consider his sprained left shoulder and jammed right index finger.

I hope when Kobe comes back, that his dribbling ability and ball handling ability will be up to Kobe standard. I hate when the ball just slips out of his hands. 
Kobe is tied for 5th (listed as 7th because of the tie) in turnovers at 3.6 TO per game. Kobe is also 70th in the league in assist/turnover ratio. Only David Lee and Kevin Durant are listed as worse of those qualified.
Stats here.

Wow almost everyone thinks it's given we're going to have a blowout 
I hope so too, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a close game. |

Last 16 point win was against Dallas March 21. We've had many blowout potentials but gave up big leads like a drunk prom date.

Another good game for playoffs preview.
You know folks, there is a good chance we will see Dallas in first round!
Go Lakers! Beat them by 10.

| 12:30 sunday games are the Achilles heel of the lakers so let's see if they can buck this trend and pull out a W. |

No Kobe, no Lamar sinking their ship, plus last time Sesh wasn't hurt and Pau couldn't miss. Unless a hooligan breaks MB's window again so he goes home and coaching staff can do their job, it's gonna be close.
Close W hopefully  Go Lakers!! |

Win at any cost! We need to stay in 3rd!
A win against dallas & a (potential) loss for the Clips against OKC on monday will give us a little bit more cushion.
