This is a better match up for the Lakers than Portland would have been. Bynum will be more comfortable against Yao. I agree with KT, Lakers in 5.

But, the competition gets tougher from here on out and the Lakers must resist the temptation to grab a big lead, then relax or it will bite them in the arse.

Artest's haircut

Who does he think he is? Mase? Don't really like this guy all that much, but there was a funny interview with him after he went into the stands in the last series. He was joking about the Detroit fiasco.

    • I want to see our passing offense operate at a level that isn't marginally better than when Jimmy Clausen was QB. There's a whole world of middle ground between that and throwing for 400 yards every game. If you can't handle that the problem is you.
    • Teams are putting things like this on social media for better or worse it isn't limited to just being at our expense. That's social media now. As far as the play it does not appear intentional. If it was we would know it when we see it given our history. Honestly Bryce is lucky he is playing in this era I legitimately don't think he would have survived 15 or 20 yeara ago compared to what is considered roughing the passer now.
    • Honestly, they've been playing at the level of their opponents. That can be maddening at times, but it's working for us now.  We were better against Dallas than the score shows. Let's hope we can do the same with Buffalo, just do enough to stay one scoring opportunity ahead of them. Our best shot there is that the game becomes an ugly slugfest dictated by the running backs and that we somehow keep Josh Allen bottled up. This is probably our toughest test of the entire season. If we squeak out a win somehow, then Canales and (I can't believe I'm saying this) Evero deserve some serious kudos. Still, on that defensive ranking, we're buoyed greatly by playing the Jets last week.
