the GRIND House
LAKEshow vs the GRIZZ from Memphis TN
The Match Up is already set and the Lakers Bigs will have their Work cut out as they will face their toughest Match Up in the Logo...Marc Gasol (Pau's Younger Brother) and Z-Bo...Zach Randolph. Dwight and Pau need to bring their A Game or stay on the Charter on the Tarmac for Late Departure.
The Lakers are 3-1 since MDA took over and they they are back to .500 as the West looks like it is Turning over a New Guard and one of them is the Grizzlies. The Black Mamba leads the Logo in Scoring and that is a Given. The Lakers Bench has suffered due to Steve Nash's Injury by 2nd Year PG Darius Morris has played well in spurts but he will have to slow down Grizz Brain Trust led by PG Mike Conley Jr. The Lakers are also getting good production from Ron Ron Artest better known as MWP on Laker T.V.. He will have the unfortunate task of covering Grizz SF and Leading Scorer Rudy "I was left on Team USA 2K12" Gay. The Lakers will pay close attention to Mr. Gay. The Grizz are running out the Gate like they are on a Mission having lost a Heartbreaker of a Series to Lob City last season. The Front Line is a Top 5 in the Logo with the Likes of Rudy, Z-Bo, and Marc. The Grizz also have Nine Players scoring at least 6 ppg and Rudy leading with just over 20 points per. The Bench has been a pleasant surprise with Pondexter and Sniper Ellington. PG Jerryd Bayless and Mo Speights also add to a Really Good Productive Bench. The Lakers need to slow down both Dwight and Gasol because Kobe will get his now or later or throughout the Contest.
PLAYBOOK
In order for the Lakers to have Major Success and adding another Banner in Staples they must limit Nights like they just had in SACtown. Dwight and Pau are way too talented to get beat down like they did vs the Kings. Kobe also has to do a better job at times of being a Facilitator in the Offense. Dwight and Gasol have to also demand the Orange more as Kobe will give it up. The Lakers also need a steady 4th Scorer to go along with the Bigs and the Black Mamba. The Bench will be key as can they match the Lakers Bench?
The Grizz have Four Players capable of hitting the Money Ball with Rudy, Conley Jr., Ellington, and Pondexter. The Lakers must know where they are at at all times. Will the Grizzlies double Dwight or Pay? Will the Lakers double Z-BO and Marc?
