Coming off a rough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Blazers bounced back and took down the Thunder of Oklahoma City. The Blazers now have the best record in the Western Conference and take on the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Rose Garden. Due to the shortened season, this is the ONLY time the Lakers play here this year, so it is sure to be a exciting game.

The Lakers have looked less than stellar so far this year with the loss of former sixth man Lamar Odom. However, Andrew Bynum has been a beast since his come-back from a four game suspension for trying to kill JJ Barea during last years playoffs.

The games starts at 7:30PM on TNT with Charles Barkley, Kenny, EJ, and Shaq! This will be a huge game with the national spotlight on the Blazers. If you do not have cable or want a good Portland establishment to enjoy with friends, here are several suggestions from our sponsors.
