Portland was the best team to prepare us for L.A.
L.A. is built very similarly to Portland.
A: Kobe Bryant is obviously an upgrade over Brandon Roy....there's only one Kobe. But think about this, Brandon Roy played extremely well, and it wasn't enough. Not only that, the team...including R.A. - now have 6 games of experience guarding a nearly unstoppable shooting guard. All of that work will now easily transfer over to Kobe. The exact same strategy. This means we are well prepared for game one.
B: Here's why I am really hopeful though. Aldridge is actually a better version of Paul Gasol. Aldridge has a monster series - he shot well, he was physical - it is hard to imagine that Gasol can play more physical and shoot as well in the course of a series as Alridge.
C: Baynum = Oden, Ariza = Outlaw, Blake = Fischer. Odom is similar to Scola/Landry. But Fernadez = who on the Lakers is like him? Of course, portland doesn't have a guy like Odom, so this one is a bit of a wash...but Fernandez did a lot more damage to us this past series than Odom will do. Yes, the Lakers supporting cast is pretty good, but consider that bynum is coming of an injury. These are further signs that we will match-up well against this team.
The Lakers have no one who can match-up with Yao. Bynum can't handle it. And certainly not Gasol. The Lakers have no J. Pryzbilla to wear Yao down. This is going to be a big problem for L.A.
The Rockets have proven they can hold on and win the close games. That was always one of the achilles heels...but didn't see that in the Portland game. They won 2 very close games, and lost one on the road. The other two wins were by double digits, and the road loss was not that close. This is important because we know in a close game L.A. has a big advantage with Kobe - in fact, this is their main advantage - that Kobe can single-handedly lift the lakers to victory in any close game. But we stopped Roy....and I don't think Kobe is unstoppable ala Jordan. Battier and Artest have had success against him, there's reason to believe this series may be a repeat of that.
So really this series comes down to this, can we take out everyone on the lakers except for Kobe and one other player (Gasol or Odom) and nuetralize his teammates like we did against Roy and Aldridge.
I think the answer is yes. And I think L.A. is prime for a game one upset like Portland having played a Utah Cupcake Jazz team that was ready to role over and die.
We will win game 1 by surprising the lakers, and then close them out in game 6. Crazy I know, but i think this Rockets team has found itself in the last few games. |
