# Either reply to this post or create a new thread with the same subject line.
# Note that only 'Prediction MMDD' is needed in the subject line, the OPP and
# game time are to make it easy to remember the opponent and the game time.
# If replying to a prediction post remove the entire previous message or if
# it's short, top-post to make sure your guess is picked up first. If you make
# a mistake or change your mind, just repost (only last post counts).
# Quoted lines from a previous post will be ignored (lines starting with any
# of these characters and any leading spaces : [~+;:|#!<>[](){}-] will be
# assumed to be quoted).
# To reply to another poster's post without predicting, change the date to XXXX
# to avoid causing a predict.
# Make sure Laker score is first number or is prefixed by a word matching
# this RE: /^la(?!c)(?:l|k)?/i and a space delimiter (if you understand Perl
# regular expr. syntax). See examples below.

Prediction results 1225 @CHI - Game 25 plus Qstats/Box/Recap/PBP
"$Bill" <news@todbe.com>: Dec 25 07:38PM -0800
Both teams sporting first names on the back of their jerseys and Lakers wearing
their home Sunday whites with red shoes. Lakers were into it right up to Q4
where they seemed to lose energy and gave it away. Where the hell was Young in
Q4? - he didn't have a good shooting night at 1-6. 5 guys in DFs with Ed
getting a DD - Lakers 39% shooting wasn't good and giving up 20 oORBs didn't
help - they had less TOs and more shots and shoulda won if they could hit a few.
Very disappointing after 3 decent Qs of play. 93-113 Lakers lose by 20.

Quarterly Laker scoring leaders/notes (pluses OR/ST/BL; minuses TO/PF/oOR):
Q1 - Slow start shooting, but come on strong after 6m - then slack off with the
bench a bit - shooting 36% vs 50%; pluses 9/2/1; minuses 1/2/2 - Lakers got
more shots due to ORBs, but couldn't take advantage. Davis 5, Ellington 4.
24-27=-3Q.
Q2 - Lakers not so good on D and down 11 now - shooting 53% vs 59%; pluses
0/2/3; minuses 2/6/5 - not so good RBing either. Boozer/Hill/Price 4.
24-31=-7.
HT - Lakers need to step it up on all 3 fronts - shooting, D and ball handling -
shooting 43% vs 55%; pluses 9/4/4; minuses 3/8/7. Davis 8,
Ellington/Price 7, Boozer/Johnson/Hill 6. 47-58=-11H.
Q3 - Lakers hang in and shave a few off the lead - shooting 43% vs 45%; pluses
4/2/2; minuses 0/5/6. Johnson 11, Hill 8, Davis 4. 30-25=+5Q (77-83=-6).
Q4 - Lakers didn't play well in Q4 and shot piss-poor at 29% vs 41%; pluses
3/3/2; minuses 1/8/7. Boozer 6. 16-30=-14Q.
Final - Both teams sporting first names on the back of their jerseys and Lakers
wearing their home Sunday whites with red shoes. Lakers were into it
right up to Q4 where they seemed to lose energy and gave it away. Where
the hell was Young in Q4? - he didn't have a good shooting night at 1-6.

If Lakers play like Tue, could go the other way. Wonder how Kobe's gonna play
and how many minutes Byron gives him. Let's hope for some decent shooting
for a change. Whoops - looks like Kobe is resting again.
