There is no doubt in my mind that the lakers are going to win this game and if not, the only way Dallas wins is on a lucky shot at the end. I'm confident that the Lakers are going to win this game down the stretch. The Lakers could have won the first two games of this series and now that Artest is out, this gives the Lakers some more spacing and more effective shooters to get some more minutes like Barnes and Odom. Gasol is finally going to have a big game here. Chandler on Gasol is an effective matchup but he'll probably already have his hands full with Bynum. The goal is to get the ball to Gasol early in this game when Dirk is gaurding him because Dirk is a horrible low post defender and Gasol should be abusing that matchup but he's being really passive. Phil got the message to his team. Make some fukking 3's and the Lakers will be fine, trust me. Derrick Fisher will have a solid game, as will Bynum and Odom.
Bryant is not going to lose this game. You can see on film he's getting any shot at any time he wants, and in fact, he's not shooting the ball enough. Look for him to get his teammates involved early and be very aggressive at the same time, especially on the DEFENSIVE end, Bryant will look to make a statement tonight. Trust me, Bryant and Jordan don't lose these types of games when their backs are completely against the ropes. Kobe Bryant will guard Jason Terry when he's in the game and will make a statement and shut him down. Dallas is gonna live and die by the jumpshot and tonight its going to cost them late in the game when their legs start to wear out under them.
I'm taking the Lakers ML for a nice nice amount and the Lakers +2 for half that amount just to be safe.
