LAKERS vs KINGS (PRE & POST GAME REPORT)

PREGAME:

So the Lakers face off against the "healthy" Kings team tonite in about an hour. Nothing really to be excited about but as Laker fans, we would like to see our team succeed. Most of us would like to see the Lake Show blow out a subpar team like the Kings (5-16 8 losses in a row) I, on the other hand, would like to see a 48 minute game from our guys. Offensively but especially defensively. When we control a big lead we must capatilize. Consistency is key for us here on out. These next few games have to build up for the game we all are anticipating for. Christmas day against the C's. Look for the lakers to win by 12 tonite to improve to 18 wins in a very young season.

POST GAME

KINGS 113 - LAKERS 101

The Kings didn't beat the Lakers Tuesday night at the Arco, the Lakers beat the Lakers. Uncontested shots, poor shooting along with poor decision making, and bad defense, which is what we have taken so much pride for in the beginning of the season, is why the Lakers lost a couple of nights ago. Our guys need to stay focused, that's all it is.

Whether playing an under 500 team or true contenders, we must stay focused. Sometimes playing with teams that are not on your level throws you off, but these are the teams that you must put away and make a statement. These are the kind of teams that you embed fear in their hearts and minds. These are the teams that should be nervous and scared when they are facing the most elite team in the NBA.
