I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Let's get back to the winning.
Tonight:
3X-- MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES/ LOS ANGELES LAKERS under 197
I think the Lakers learned a few things Sunday evening with another disappointing 110-107 loss to Minnesota. Yes, this team is definitely injury riddled. Yes, Shaq is playing at less than 100%. Yes, they have been horrible on defense. Teams have been pushing the tempo against the undermaned Lake Show and it has led them to play a style of game they are not adept at-- Run and Gun. Tonight the young legs of the Grizzlies come to town riding a 0-7 mark on the road. You can bet they are going to want to push the tempo right from the start. They believe the more Shaq moves the less time he will play right now. On the other hand, Phil Jackson is a very capable coach. He has even stated recently that his team is not in shape early on in the season. Jackson will make adjustments tonight. Expect the Lakers to come out and play a half-court style game. They will go to Shaq to take over down low. This game will have the Grizzlies out of sync. The Lakers have been scoring on average of 106+ points over the last 5 games-- they can't win games like that. Look for a solid defensive effort by the Lakers tonight and this game to land short of 197.
Good Luck.
