Philadelphia 76ers @ Los Angeles Lakers Fri. Dec. 31st 2010 10:30pm EST
The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t exactly played like the team that has dominated the league the last two or three years lately as they have struggled to keep playing consistently well, but they are coming off an impressive win over the New Orleans Hornets and will be hoping to take that momentum home with them as they are set to take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Staples Center on New Year’s Eve.
Even though the 76ers would normally be just another easy win over the Lakers in the past, the two-time defending champs haven’t exactly live up to their NBA picks as of late and any team can challenge Kobe Bryant and company.
Despite the Lakers playing extremely streaky right now and not really living up to expectations at this point in the NBA regular season, Phil Jackson has seemed to pull this team together after the big win over the Hornets and will most likely have his boys ready to defend their home floor Friday night in Los Angeles.
