    Keys to a Lakers win

    Thursday, June 11, 2009, 06:34 PM EST [Los Angeles Lakers]

    Tonight the Lakers will try to go up 3-1 on the magic in Orlando. They Lakers lost a tough one the other day in order for them to not relive that night there is four things that need to be done.




    1. Defense - The magic shot over 60% Tuesday and that is unacceptable if they want to be the NBA champs. Keep bothering Howard the way they were the first two games, no foul trouble for the main big men (Bynum, Gasol, and Odom).
    2. Gasol - Pau needs to touch the ball more. He is shooting 63% from the field in the finals. I dont understand why they dont get him the ball more to take some off of Kobe. Also when you get Gasol the ball more you higher the risk that Dwight Howard gets into foul trouble.
    3. Kobe - Now I know when people look at this they think that im saying he needs to do something better. No the lakers need someone to step up to give Kobe some time to sit and rest. He is the clearly the best player in this series, but if he cant get some rest  he wont be able to the best closer like we are used to seeing.
    4. Lamar Odom - I personall think that Lamar is key to success for the Lakers. In the last two years I have watched the lakers in important games and when Odom has a bad game they lose. I felt last year if he was consitently as good as I feel he could be that the Lakers would be going for there second straight title instead of looking for there first since losing Shaq. If Lamar can play good on the boards and get in a rythem the Lakers will win.
