”The Marquee Matchup”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-=-=-=-=-> Kobe Bryant Vs. Brandon Roy <-=-=-=-=-
Well, you don’t need too much introduction for this matchup. It’s Kobe Bryant vs one of the most “unguardable guards” in the league today. How does it sound ? Hmm ?… Even if Kobe’s not there yet in terms of athletic ability, he’ll get out there and have fun playing against a great player, as he usually does. I’m not sure about the defensive part, ‘cause Kobe is not the one to guard Roy, but offensively, both players will take care of it. Our weakside defense is gonna be tested a lot with Roy cutting or shooting threes and dishing it to Aldridge after pick’n rolls or double teams. Kobe’s gonna need some help from Artest and Pau not to allow Roy to penetrate into the paint and cut our defense. Kobe ? Kobe, hopefully will do the same job he’s been doing recently, playing a-la Magic, drawing attention and double teams and the rest is history. Definitely a great matchup.
How to beat the Trail-Blazers :
• Don’t allow their supporting cast to get hot. Put a body on Camby and dominate the glass.
• Use weakside pick’n rolls against their at times vulnerable defense.
• Pau and Kobe in the post usually a success.
Go Lakers !!!

I've decided to bring back some old school making this game thread.
Haha.
