PLAYBOOK

The Lakers may have to play like the Zen Master has been hinting to as Ex-Lakers Coach Phil Jackson admits to the Lakers not using Dwight i the right capacity. Well imagine the Kobe System being out as the LAKEshow turns into the O-Magic Circa 2008 with Dwight of Three Stripes getting all the Touches first. Or will Kobe play Air Jordan and play through a badly sprained ankle as Lakers longtime Head Trainer Gary Vitti tells the Media after the game Kobe's Ankle was a mess before the Game adding to the Black Mamba's Legend?

The Lakers will have more on their plate than worrying about if Kobe plays as the get the 2nd Best Team in the East...the Indy Pacers with All-Stars Paul George and Area 55 of Hoya Paranoia Roy Hibbert. Talking just front court the Lakers match up well with the Pacers as Area 55 will get Dwight. That should be worth the Ticket Price as well as M.W.P. playing Pacers 2012-13 All-Star Paul George. George has takin' over at the Small Forward as former Pacers All-Star Danny Granger was out with Knee Surgery. The Lakers must slow him down especially in Transition and in the half Court Set off the bounce.

Another concern for the Lakers has to be Pacers PF David West matched up against the "Earl of Staples". West is of "Pick and Pop" Royalty as he hardly ever rolls to the basket and will hit mid-range all night long. The LAKEshow Power Forwards guarding West will have to show and recover or the Lakers Rotation must be sound and quick to principals.

The Back Court Play is where the Lakers might be in real trouble without Kobe. Pacers George Hill is as efficient as they come at the point and his sidekick Pacers 2G Lance Stephenson is emerging. Can the Lakers slow them down and will the Black Mamba play through his pain. Lakers 2nd PG Steve Blake has been a god sen on that 2nd Unit and even late in games and he will be Key in this one.
