I'm watching this game closely, and LAKERS are really dominating the play. KOBE and the boys are toying with the HAWKS right now and they played very loosey goosey, streetball type game to this point. However, this is the HAWKS and they are terrible. Normally I would side AGAINST a team hitting 60% of their shots, but the truth is, if they missed, they'd get the REB and put it back in. LAKERS are killing ATL on the boards, playing DEF with tremendous intensity and look like they came to make a statement tonite in front of GEO LOPEZ, ANDY GARCIA, DAVID SPADE, etc who are in attendance.... don't know why, but I seriously think the LAKERS could win this one by 30 if they want.
LAKERS DEFENSE will show up in 2H of this one also, and subs will keep the scoring down.... ATL probably won't match their 40% FG and LA definitely won't hit for 60 again.... BUT, LAKERS will hit the boards, kick it back out and work the clock....
Good luck team!
GOOD CALL ON SEATTLE guys.... they killed the SPURS!
