Lakers (10-3) vs. Knicks (3-10)
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Site: Staples Center
TV/radio: FSN; KSPN/710, KWKW/1330

How they match up:
Lakers: 101.9 points, 97 points allowed, 45.3 FG%, 73.9 FT%
Knicks: 101.4 points, 107.9 points allowed, 43.6 FG%, 79 FT%

Outlook
Kobe Bryant scored 61 points in New York in the teams’ last meeting, a 126-117 Lakers victory the game after Andrew Bynum hurt his right knee. The Knicks have struggled on defense in Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo style and will ask 6-foot-9 David Lee to guard 7-foot Andrew Bynum (19.9 ppg, 11.2 rpg), with slimmed-down Eddy Curry in reserve. Speedy Nate Robinson (ankle) had a season-high 19 points last game and scored 33 points in each of his two games (vs. Clippers and vs. Lakers) at Staples Center last season. If the Knicks fall behind, they might save energy for the next night in Sacramento, whereas the Lakers are facing three days without a game.

Hee hee… I’m going to be at this game. If only I knew where the OC register cameras would be so I can be part of the Rim Shots.

Hint: Go with two beautiful women wearing Kobe’s jersey, and have one on each arm. It’s better still if both are from OC.

  I think my g/f would have a very big problem with that!

    She’s gonna have a bigger problem if you don’t consider her as worthy of being on your arm for Rim Shots! If she sees your comment, quickly tell her she and her sister came to mind. That should work.
