Yea, Coach D'Antoni is on the bench tonight. Everyone is pumped coming off the recent wins and the Lakers are at home. BUT, the Nets are as hot as anyone and have the big advantage at the point. Lopez could match Howard tonight. Howard doesn't always do well against other big Cs. Then again Brooklyn has been in California for four days.
One big angle to back the Lakers is the Nets have another game in California tomorrow against the Warriors who they should beat. If the Nets get down a bunch early in the 2nd hlf, Johnson will wave the white flag and sit his guys so they have a chance with the rest of this road trip. Not a good scenario for a backdoor cover. Anyone playing an angle?
