Definitely won't be an easy game. Maybe Gasol will take advantage of the smaller Horford, although Al's defense has been pretty good this season.

 

Kobe time?

 

It has to be Kobe time from the get-go because we can't fall behind and try and comeback.

Artest 5-7, Gasol 3-4, there is no reason Kobe should be taking that many shots, if anything Gasol should be fed more.

 

Atlanta is guarding Gasol pretty well. They're doing well to deny him the ball and forcing him to pass.

I'm watching via Gamecast, and I'm seeing all these double T's and Flagrant 1's. Is this getting physical?

 

Kinda, not really. I dunno why Mo Evans started up a double tech with Artest, but I think Gasol was hit hard because Farmar fouled Al Horford pretty hard. Paschulia always plays Gasol well with physicality too.

Yeah, we sorta did that last game, and it failed. Gasol has trouble establishing position in the post because he's weak and gets bullied out of the paint. His excuse is supposed to be his hamstring problem, but I don't buy it at all. His lack of physicality has been his problem his entire career.

 

If he gets the ball and can't make a move, he holds it for a while, then kicks it out, looking for someone to bail him out. It's bad practice, and it's something Shaq never had to do.
