Dragon vs Mamba

Best rivalry since Bird and Magic? I think so. Probably a little better considering that Kobe and The Dragon were teammates.

lmao fisher is going to get raped... the lakers SHOULD win though. knicks dont have anyone with a chance of guarding kobe, and the lakers bigs should be able to limit the oops to chandler.

:oldlol:

why LAKERS WHY!!!! is fisher our starting point guard.

[DMV2]

I wanna see Bynum give Lin a hard foul and see if how he plays afterward.

[BlueandGold]

Not sure if its going to happen anytime soon or even this season but what happens when Davis gets back?


I wanna see Bynum give Lin a hard foul and see if how he plays afterward.

Yep, got to do this, especially to young PGs in the league who are playing against your team. Don't want to give them the impression that they can just come into the paint anytime. That's one big difference between 90s basketball and basketball now. The paint before use to be considered up the seam on the football field or the inside part of the plate in baseball. Something you protected at all costs and if you were didn't your coach would get at you on, especially when flagrant fouls didnt exist yet. That's also a huge difference between Jordan and a lot of these newer guards in the league today, the majority of the time he got into the paint it was a flagrant foul, and the vast majority if not all of the time in the playoffs. That's what made the Knicks/Bulls and Pistons/Bulls rivarlies so epic, because the players could put another player on the ground, hard, and not have to worry about picking up a T.

Who's Davis?

Are you talking about that bearded dude with free courtside seats?

[KOBEtherealKing]

mamba will strike his poisonous venom in the dragon. Kobe for 65. Lin for 20. Fisher will get done up as usual and kobe will be kobe against fields.

[Jotaro Durant]

he has legit shot at scoring 50

[zay_24]

Will be the biggest game of his career:rockon:

If Bynum does this I'll honestly hire a hitman for his head. I already know what's going to happen Kobe or Bynum are going to get pissed for Lin cutting so much to the basket that they'll start fouling him hard as **** till he like dies

[Noob Saibot]

If God is real, Lin will dunk or cross up Kobe Bryant.

[Marv_Albert]

Bout to shut the bandwagoners down.... finally will play against a decent team and defense, last 3 games dont count bottom of the eastern conference league.

I'm a Lakers fan, but umm... Didn't this (http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201202040UTA.html) happen to us just a few days ago...?

I'm not going to say Lin will destroy us like he's done to the other 3 teams recently, but you shouldn't count the guy out.


With that said, let's hope LAL knows how to stop the dude before he embarrasses us and makes all the Asians at Staples Center cheer for him. :oldlol:

[bluechox2]

:lol

[baseketball4life]

Lin is not a dumb player, the kid is very smart and has high bball IQ. He will breakdown Fisher easily and attack the rim, at which point the help side big will have to decide whether to contest his layup/dunk or stay with his man. Lin will take whatever they give him, should have a good game again.

[ChrisKreager]

At least Lin gives this game a storyline from the Knicks side.

that box score is atrocious how can our big 3 be the only ones scoring in double digits. :facepalm

[bluechox2]

sadly, no one on the knicks can stop kobe, i see a 50 point outburst

[YAWN]

if anything Lin is going to look like prime Steve Nash running circles around Fisher. :(

[Clutch]

Can somebody put Lin's face instead of Stern ?

http://twitpic.com/show/large/7clwgb

[DuMa]

lol lakers vaunted pick and roll defense. :oldlol:

[Beebo]

Statement game for Lin :rockon:

[Miserio]

Fields can guard him pretty well.

[hawkfan]

Jeremy Lin-Tyson Chandler-Steve Novak - the new big 3 of the Knicks.

[flipogb]

50% of Laker fans will be happy because they are Asian like Lin, ugh

Everybody wants to watch Lin.

Kobe doesn't want to get embarrassed so the answer is probably no.

[All Net]

Damn already?

[hawkfan]

Will Kobe try to recruit Lin to come to LA next year?

[hawkfan]

Damn already?

ESPN has to be stoked about Lin. About 2 weeks ago, they were probably like, "The Knicks are horrible again." But now with Lin, ratings should be sky-high country-wide for this game.

[bluechox2]

its a good story

World wide. Think about all the people in Asia that will watch this game to see one of their own go up against Kobe. This is good for the NBA.

[hawkfan]

America's two biggest cities.
The most anticipated young player in the league at the moment.
The best player in the game, Kobe, takes on the newest fan favorite.
It's tonight.
It's on!

[hawkfan]

Tonight.

Lakers vs. Knicks = where amazing happens.

[zizozain]

Lakers need to give Lin 2 hard fouls in the first 5 minutes


do we have 2 game threads?
