No, any time the Lakers hold an opponent to less than 100pts at home, everyone gets free tacos from Jack In The Box.

I want to go to the game tonight, but can't make it... picked up some cheap last min tix for Clippers/Magic last Tues though.

Xmas game is going to be awesome.

Thats an awesome deal. Wish the heat would do something like that. Well i guess they do, We get a free 10 wings from Hooters at a lot of games, but its more random than anything else. Not like if we hold someone to 100 points or anything.

The game against the T-Wolves is free taco night? Thats great.

Wanna hear the greatest/worst idea in the world? The Sacramento Kings are having $1 beer night next week for one game. The $1 beers stop after the first half but still, its great to go see a game and get loaded for cheap, but dont they realize all those loaded people have to drive home? the 2nd half isnt enough for people to sober up, but hey.

Ill be at the Heat vs Magic game on Thursday.

Awesome man! Yea, I kept my free taco streak alive. Its actually every game where the lakers hold the opponent to under 100 points in a win is considered free tacos night. So far the 3 games I been to have been all free taco night

I dont know what it is. Hes still averaging 27 points a game, but his FG% is down. But his assists are up. I dont think the #'s tell the whole story. When i watch him in games he just seems like hes not playing as hard as he used to. I dont think hes gearing up to leave, i just think he realized that were not contending for a championship this year and we have been planning to spend all our money this offseason anyway so he may just be coasting through this season until we get a Chris Bosh, or someone. I just hope he doesnt leave. If he does then were royally fucked.

Hes pretty much your franchise player. Maybe they will bring someone in by trade deadline to keep his interest in staying. If he leaves, its like total rebuild mode! Chalmers and the gang...

Keeping him is priority # 1, 2, and 3 this year and offseason. I still dont think were going to bring in anyone at the trade deadline. Were going to wait until the summer to have all our cap space and go to bring in a max guy like LeBron or Chris Bosh to pair with Wade. I just hope he resigns then.

I see Bosh leaving TO, and he would be a great addition. I think that will keep Wade in town, and probably give them a good chance to get to the finals again.

Lakers vs. Thunder Game Preview

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO

Posted Dec 21 2009 4:30PM

Kobe Bryant feels the NBA-leading Los Angeles Lakers can improve, while Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma CIty Thunder are trying to climb back above .500.

Bryant looks to help the red-hot Lakers continue their dominance of Durant and the struggling Thunder on Tuesday night.

The Lakers (22-4) have picked up where they left off, holding the best record in the NBA after winning a 15th league title last season.

They've won 15 of 16 after winning 93-81 at Detroit on Sunday, concluding a five-game road trip with four consecutive victories.

"It's a great sign," said Bryant, who scored 28 points, of the trip. "We believe we can be better and we will be better because we push each other."

Bryant, whose 28.8 points per game rank second behind Denver's Carmelo Anthony (30.5), has been superb during the last four games, averaging 34.5 points on 51.0 percent shooting. That surge has come after he endured his worst shooting performance of the season, making 7 of 24 shots - 1 for 9 from beyond the arc - in a 102-94 loss at Utah on Dec. 12.

Bryant, last season's NBA Finals MVP, has also thrived against Oklahoma City (13-13), averaging 33.5 points on 51.6 percent shooting to help the Lakers win the last 11 meetings since a loss April 6, 2007, when the Thunder were the Seattle SuperSonics.

Los Angeles has won both matchups this season, including a 101-85 victory behind Bryant's 22 points at Staples Center on Nov. 22. The Lakers have won six straight in the series at home, and are riding a 10-game winning streak overall at Staples Center, where they are 15-2 this season.

The Thunder have dropped four of five following Saturday's 95-90 loss at Houston. Durant made 6 of 18 shots and finished with 13 points, while Oklahoma City converted 2 of 12 from 3-point range.

"We're gonna get better," said coach Scott Brooks. "We're improving. We've got a lot of basketball left and a lot of games to get better with."

Durant, fourth in the NBA at 27.2 points per game, has been inconsistent of late. The forward had 27 points in a 109-98 win over the Pistons on Friday, two nights after tying his season low with 12 points on 4 for 18 shooting in a 100-86 loss to Dallas.

He's averaging 23.7 points in nine games against the Lakers, whom he has never beaten.

Oklahoma City has won all 11 games when scoring more than 100 points and is 2-11 when allowing 100.

The Lakers average 103.3 points, and have topped the century mark in the last 18 meetings with Oklahoma City, winning 15.
