The Lakers are 4-3 but don't have what one might call a signature win. That would change tonight with a victory over the 4-1 Trail Blazers.
Enjoy some more of your Thursday-night beverage whenever:
- The Portland crowd strikes up a "BEAT L.A.!" chant,
- An announcer reminds you that Wesley Matthews was undrafted,
- Someone mentions Marcus Camby's or Kurt Thomas's age,
- You see a replay of Andrew Bynum's hit on Gerald Wallace, or
- KCAL hits the profanity mute a second and a half too late.
