BI and Lonzo have tough assignments but I think they will be up to the task.

I'll be surprised if we score more than 90 in this one

If Paul George and a woman whose father's first name is George get married and have a child, and the mother wants the child named after her father, what would the resulting child's name be?

George George?
George squared?
GGeeoorrggee?
George of the George?

I would think it to be a low scoring game, but the over/under is 230.

This is a statement game for our young core to show the Lakers they've made a good decision by not trading them away for PG13. BI and Lonzo are saving their best games for this showdown.

BI locks down PG13. Lonzo locks down Westbrick. No Lebron. No problem. Let's go.

It's a bad game to be facing Westbrook because he admitted publicly that he's been playing like sh*t and will be playing at maximum intensity.

If PG and Russ both have good games then it looks extremely bleak.

However if Ingram and Lonzo can slow them down then we still can win.

A huge opportunity for the core to have a statement game and shut up their critics who are trying to trade them.

Don’t have a good feel for this one...winnable but for sure tough matchup against a good defensive team.

Lakers are going to have to pick up the pace and go on a little winning streak soon. 16/17 losses is a little high in the WC. Need to start creating separation from 7-12 seed.
