From Orlando's point of view, a way must be found to box out Gasol and make if tough for him to post down low. He was the single biggest factor in LA’s wins over Denver, not Kobe, as is commonly assumed.
For LA’s part, they must make a solid and continuous effort to shut down the likes of Rashad Lewis and Rafer Alston (and to a somewhat lesser extent, Hedo Turkoglu). If they don't do this effectively, these guys, who are assassins in every sense of the word on the court, will kill them.
I'd be mighty wary of LA playing Vujasic for any length of time in this series. Defensively, he'll be abused by the likes of the aforementioned assassins.
I do,however, see a lot of time Trevor Ariza. He's been good for them.
A lot depends on how things unfold insofar as the inside game goes, for both teams, but right now I see a 7 game set. with Orlando winning that 7th game in LA!
CA....
Orlando says their All-Star PG Jameer Nelson will be back from injury to play also.
Kobe’s old and decrepit. Orlando in 5.
