KEYS TO WINNING GAME
The Lakers front will have to go toe to toe with the Clipper front line,mainly Kaman and Camby. Artest should get the best of his match up with Thorton based on sheer strength. Lamar will have to stay a threat in order to keep Camby from offering help from the weak side where he a very efective shot blocker. Kobe will battle with the young 2 guard Eric Gordon, but it's a match up Gordon will have his hands full with trying to slow Kobe. Also dump the ball to Bynum in good post up position, Bynum has shown before to be a threat verses Kaman.
