    turnovers = everything this series.

    our offense has been great against their defense, but when they get out on fast breaks we fall behind.

    This isn't looking good - it's just like last game.

    The issue with that, as many have been saying, is that Artest wants to conserve energy for his offense. Plus Artest makes Kobe play even better.

    However I agree that we should be letting Artest guard him for a few minutes every game, just to give him different looks.

    Defense sucks as usual, this team looks like they're just content with getting one win against the Lakers.

    We need to slow down Odom. Bring in Landry or Hayes.

    I'd just like to point out that us, the defensive gurus, are giving up 67% shooting. Not all of that can be called them just being hot, though it's certainly true for Kobe.

    We're scoring well, ourselves, though. That is good.

    Odom is bad for Luis,but I want to see Ron on Ariza. Luis should try his best to front Odom. Yao is tired, without a doubt. The only defensive role that he can play is under the basket,but he needs help defense in order to avoid foul trouble.

    i like the fact that they're letting yao catch it. and scola can score in the post on odom whenever he wants - they need to feed that.

    You are wrong, we should worry. We can't play from behind every time, it is tough. We need to keep this game close if we want to win.
