Lakers Blazers Tickets

With a pair of Lakers Blazers Tickets, you’ll get to witness two solid Pacific Division teams battle for yet another important win for the standings. In 2004, the Los Angeles Lakers are struggling to overcome the fantastic play of Sacramento, and they cannot afford to lose any more Pacific Division games. One bump in the road might be Portland whose win percentage is hovering around .500. The Blazers never seem to get tired on the court because of their willingness to dig deep into their roster to pull fresh bodies out and onto the floor. The Lakers, however, are clinging to the hope that their veteran players can stay healthy with enough energy to lead them to another Pacific Division title.

Lakers Blazers Tickets: What to Expect

When Los Angeles and Portland meet, you can expect a few things. The Lakers will probably build an early lead as they pound the ball into O’neal in the paint. While the Blazers centers are tall, they lack the weight and athletic ability to challenge O’neal outright. A double-team is inevitable. When the paint collapses around O’neal the Blazers will have to watch for the Lakers cutting to the basket. This defense can be very tiring for both teams, but Portland has the depth in their lineup (and the willingness to use it) that they should have ample energy left for the fourth quarter. Therefore, watch for the Blazers to gain on the Lakers late in the game making a tight finish to the end.
