LAKERS vs WARRIORS (PRE-GAME REPORT)

Coming off a disappointing loss to the New Orleans Hornets. The Lakers head north to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors once again. In the last meeting between these two teams, it was strictly offense. With both teams at the time being the top two scoring teams, they both broke over a hundred without breaking a sweat.

With Monta Ellis still injured, and Stephen Jackson just recently injured, they still got plenty of offensive firepower. And with Corey Maggette back in the line-up, gives them another scoring option. Last time Jamal Crawford was able to score 22 points on us and Andris Biedris was able to grab an easy 17 rebounds.Kobe scored an easy 31pts and added 4asts, and 4stls in the last meeting. Fish scored 19pts while Pau and Bynum had 13pts a piece. Sasha took advantage of increased minutes and was able to score a season high 17pts.

Though the Lakers won the rebound battle last meeting, need to crash boards tonight and limit Biedris rebounds. With the Lakers dropping like flies, more people from the bench need to step it up offensively and more than ever, defensively.
