Why are the Trailblazers a Bad Matchup For the Lakers?

The Blazers make mistakes due to their inexperience, mainly their PG. That's not so with the Lakers, especially with Fisher. I can't think of the last time he missed a big shot. Well, outside of the Finals.

We were the more experienced team last round. That won't be the case this series.

 

I hope you're kidding about comparing BRoy to Kobe. That is absolutely ridiculous. Pau vs LaMarcus isn't really close either.

 

Blazers lack the 3rd offense options. This series playoff proved that.

Also Gasol make the difference. He has been playing against Yao for many international games. Compare Oden's inexperience to Yao.
( and with Bynum as center that gave Rockets better chance, and push Odom out of starting lineup)


Phil is better coach than Nate.
