Yeah. I was caught up on ESPN & CBSSports injury reports for a long time. I finally found TDRocks's thread. That's where I go. |
She does a great job of tracking down the info on a daily basis. |

I feel the Lakers will win anyway but it’s not a must win game for them and since the Nuggets just complained about officiating and Scott Foster didn’t get this game for some reason, I guess I can see reason to be 1-2 points less confident about it. |

All we need tonight is a green and Kuzma to join the the WCF by contributing 15 points each. That’ll put us over the top. If not it’s gonna be a dog fight to the end. _________________ R.I.P Magic Wand! |

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic but I think we may due for a Kuzma outburst. One of those 30 pt games he has every so often.
Would not be surprised to see Davis being more of jump shooter instead of driving to the basket. Points in the low 20 range. Maybe Green, Morris and Rondo in the low teens. And James a 30pt triple double.
Kuzma needs to pick up the slack. 30 pt game and the close out win. |

Hope you are right, but with the higher level of play and intensity in the playoffs, I have my doubts about Kuz contributing like he did in the regular season. But who knows, if he's hot and becomes the recipient of our drive and kicks then we'll be in good shape |

Kuz scoring 30 points is unrealistic. He is only getting around 20 minutes per game. Last game he only played 18 minutes and scored 10 points. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Kuzma has scored 30 points 12 times out of the 222 games he has played in his career. I wouldn't count on that happening tonight. Hope KCP and Green have big games and Kuzma just avoids being a liability/net-negative out there. |

The only way Kuzma gets 30+ is if AD doesn’t play.
It’s been the pattern all year...where he is basically the 1st or 2nd scoring option. |

Bron will have to pace himself. AD will have to put the pedal to the medal for 48. Howard is the X factor. If KCP, Green, and Kuz have hot hands we'll be OK.
Edit: I forgot to mention the most important showup PLAYOFF RONDO If he shows up IT'S OVA!!!
Start fast and keep the doobie lit.
Oh yeah; Danny Green, listen to Shaq, HOLD IT!!!
2 HOURS TO TIP OFF.

Actually expecting to lose and win Game 6 but I will be pleasantly surprised if we win. Wasnt expecting to win Game 6 vs Denver in 2009 either and we stomped them by playing our best game of the year. |

AD's ankle is probably the main reason for a slightly smaller spread. |
