In L.A. We Eat Our Tacos With Frothy Lattes


For the uninitiated, the headline might seem a little cryptic...allow me to translate. As part of a promotion by Jack In The Box, when the Lakers win and hold the opponent to under 90 points everyone in the Staples Arena is treated to a coupon for two free tacos. And that's what they did tonight in the 87-72 win over the Bulls. And what about frothy lattes? Well, coach Phil Jackson compared the Chicago Bulls tonight to a Latte, all froth and no substance.

So, as Lakers fans washed their tacos down with frothy lattes in La La Land tonight, we ask ourselves a few burning questions: Have the Lakers found their rhythm? Has Lamar found his Mojo? Will Farmar be able to play after tweaking his ankle tonight? and will Lakers fans be eating tacos on Tuesday night against that other L.A. team, the L.A. Clippers. The Lakers can't afford to fall asleep at the wheel; wake up and smell the coffee, because the Pacific Division first place Clippers aren't so frothy anymore.

Lakers have won 7 out of 10...Let's take a look at the schedule:

Tuesday vs Clippers
Friday at Utah
Sun, Nov 26 vs New Jersey
Tue, Nov 28 vs Milwaukee
Thu, Nov 30 vs Utah

9 of the next 10 games at Staples Center

We want to see the Clips and Lakers play! (Just one regular season game together). Tough schedule, Utah has the best record in the NBA. Milwaukee and New Jersey also tough, a must for the Lakers to accumulate some wins.
