Watching the film, there are some basic adjustments the Lakers will make in this game. The Lakers will run more of a duel high and low post in this game with Gasol and Howard. They've been running tihs in the first two games effectively but began giving Gasol too many looks in the low post and without a healthy Nash now the Lakers are strapped for facilitators. Giving Gasol the ball in the high post will allow him to be the primary playmaker for the Lakers tonight. With his length and height in the high post, look for Dwight to frequently pin his defenders down low inside the paint for easy buckets. Both big men will have to play big today. Blake's offense will be missed but Morris is a much better defender than him and it's not close. Both he and Gouldlock will provide a spark defensively, no doubt. Metta World Peace Earl CLark and Jamison will all have to play solid on the perimeter.
Parker is not really in his element yet, and another defender in Morris may give him even more trouble than Blake did. He had a good game 2, but the true Parker has yet to come out yet and that is the only thing I fear when betting against the Spurs.

forget the points.
