”The Matchup”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-=-=-=-=-> Kobe Bryant Vs. Steve Nash <-=-=-=-=-
These two have a history. They play different positions, but the same role in their respective teams, the role of the leader. Kobe’s usually hot when playing against the Suns’ “defense”, so we shouldn’t worry about his display tonight. Grant Hill might try to close up on Kobe a bit, but that’s only for the better. Steve Nash will once again demand tons of pick’n rolls to get by our defense, which doesn’t include Fisher, and dish it into the paint, to the wings or finish by himself whenever he gets the chance. The Lakers should try and limit his big impact on the Suns’ game as much as possible to reduce their offensive efficiency.
How to beat the Suns :
• Their bench is good, especially from the perimeter. Close up on their shooters and make them force tough shots.
• Focus on Pau and Lamar’s game tonight to dominate the paint.
• Pace the game gradually and don’t allow them to dictate it.
Go Lakers !!!
