No KD but no AD, kind of a wash, but if Big Marc shows I think we can do this thing!

Feel like Trez is the key to this one. Hope we look for him often. He should really eat against these guys.

Time to test that chin!!!!! Our guards have to attack.... attack....attack. Make them have to play defense.

Shroeder needs to be ultra aggressive. He needs to force Kyrie to have to guard because if not, he is gonna dance all night on us.

Run.... run... run and attack!

I really hope we get to play the Nets in Brooklyn later in the regular season when both teams are at full strength. That would be awesome to watch!

Depends on how the Lakers choose to play this.

Will they exert full defensive energy? Will they settle for a 3 pt shooting contest? (which they lose miserably IMO) Do they value possessions and the ball?

Should be motivated to win this marquee game, but we have seen them underperform in other marquee games.

Lakers need to play to their potential both mentally and physically. They take the “ just another game” approach, they will lose by double digits.

Hopefully it will be a competitive and entertaining game. Most importantly... a win!

Oh he will play. He has been resting up just to play in this one and stick it to Lebron.

With the way the Nets play, will likely come down to how well they can spam the 3pter. They beat PHX going crazy from the 3pt line, think they had like 20 threes.

This is going to be a tough one. But I think we can win this one. We seem to lose our attention against lesser teams, but perk up for the big matches.

My brain says we are going to get smoked just given how we have been playing, but then I remember there is a lot of pride in this team and my heart says they will step up like the championship team we know.

Like others have said, this should be a big Trezz game and Gasol should be ok as DeAndre is basically in the same boat as Gasol, 2 declining veterans.

The thing that separates the Lakers from most teams is they can deploy Caruso/Schroder/KCP on Harden and Kyrie and limit them a bit. THT has shown some ability to limit Harden too.

Edit: Game 30 already!

Dont forget matthews as well. Our backcourt defense must be scary for other teams.

This would be a very impressive win if we could pull it off because we've been squeaking by the bottom feeders. They are without Durant and we are without AD. Seems like a fair trade.

Go Lakers!

I predict that the Lakers dominate this game from the 3 point line and win pretty easily.
