Key Matchup of the Game
Vs:
Pau Gasol vs Marc Gasol
While they won't start off going head-to-head, the two brothers will square off commonly throughout the game. I'm sure it's fun for the both of them, as Pau said "he's beat me sometimes, I beat him sometimes," in reference to their one-on-one battles in the summer time. The former Laker in Marc has had a pretty solid rookie season. He sure doesn't look like a rookie, both in appearance and his game. A different player than his brother Pau, Marc looks to bang and get tough rebounds. Pau had a disappointing game in the last Laker win against Memphis, with his brother clearly outplaying him. I know Pau will have revenge on his mind.
Keys To A Lakers Win
- Efficiency: Efficiency and execution are the words Kobe and Phil use most and we have to do it. Kobe knows he took a couple questionable shots against Portland, and I'm sure he'll bounce back with an efficient game.
- Defense: Always a deceptive key against any lower-tier team. We can't overlook Memphis' record. They don't have one prominent scorer, but they're a very balanced team, and when everybody has some fun and scores, they play well. They're coming off a game where they beat down Phoenix.. hopefully we can stop the momentum and get an easy "W." Kobe, Gasol, and Fisher need rest as we head towards the playoffs.
Happy Easter Holiday!
GO LAKERS!!!!
wanted to see DJ having a block party again in late games.
