Keys to a Laker win:
1. Kobe needs to play within the offense. We cannot afford to have him with the ball in his hands for 12 seconds out of the shot clock.
2. Get the ball to Pau in the post not on the elbow. i cannot stress this enough. The ballshould touch pau's hands almost every time down the court. Run the offense inside out.
3. Get the ball to Kobe on the elbow. Doing this will allow his a better position to evaluate the defense without using his dribble. This is how he was effective against the Cavs and Boston in the regular season, nothing is differentwith the way the Rockets play defense.
4. Ariza please stop faking the three just take the shot. I would rather live with Ariza's open threes than him driving after a pumpfake, unless it's a wide open lane, otherwise Houston's defense closes gaps like the Baltimore Ravens D.
5. Stop double teaming! We don't need to double team anyone on the Rockets. I can live with a contested shot vs. a wide open shotanyday. The only person we should show help on is Brooks especially if Fisher is playing what he likes to call defenseon him.
I think if those 5 things are taken care of, which are all not too hard to do, we can win this game without any problems. If they don't do these things beready for a long game!
