Now I'm pissed... LAKERS up by 3 at HT and I laid 4.
Anyway, LAKERS played MILW's game early in this one, running with them and shooting alot. DON'T expect the same in 2H. PHIL talked earlier today on the local radio and said he was gonna let the LAKERS have some fun in the first half of this game because he felt LA had the inside advantage, but he wanted to see how his LAKERS would do with MILW and their smaller quick tempo type team. He wanted to know if LA could run with them if need be and now he has his answer. With that being said, look for alot more inside game from SHAQ and CO. LAKERS win championships with DEFENSE, not offense, and PHIL knows this. It's early in the season, but with LA on their first extended road trip, I think PHIL puts the clamps down on this one and emphasizes lots of DEF in 2H.
With that being said, look for a LA win by 8-10 but a much lower scoring second half. BTW... both teams hit 4 of 7 3 ptrs.
HUGE PLAY - LAKERS UNDER 97
