... have a chance against the Laker triangle. And that Phil Jackson is the master of the strong-side help on defense, which can frustrate Tim Duncan to no end. What also needs to be known is that the Lakers haven't always, even in the championship years, but the amount of effort into the triangle that is needed to succeed-it. I had a rhyme, and then I ruined it, on purpose. Also, the Lakers can float defensively, causing Jackson to have to get up and whistle. (Also, this is pretty cool.) San Antonio's effort will be there, this team isn't going anywhere, ...

... But no longer! Consider this the official commencement of the "Ronny Turiaf for Yellowbook Cam" campaign (Cam-paign?). Who wants to watch Kobe on a player cam when he's touching the ball 90% of the time anyway? A Ronny-cam would likely be more entertaining than the game itself: a 12-minute spurt of yelling, cheering, dancing, and assorted bench shenanigans. Make sure to "rock the vote" here. ...

... me that San Antonio comes home and gets the job done. My heart’s telling me that LA can do this. My gut’s telling me that San Antonio will be troubled by the ball movement that the triangle espouses. Goin’ with my intestines again. I don’t know… I do think that the Lakers take 1 of 2 at San Antonio, and I think that game 3’s ripe for the pickin’. Lakers take a nail-biter. Get your live viewing at TNT Interwebby thingy. And talk about it at either LA BallTalk’s Live Blog, or AOL ...

Along those same lines, the Lakers bench needs to come in, push the pace and get some easy buckets in transition (or in mismatches early in the clock). The Spurs bench players were energized at home, they played far more comfortably, and that seemed to make our bench guys recoil a little. Tonight they need to attack. One other thing to look for tonight — the Ronny Yellowbook Cam. For some opposing views, check out Spurs Dynasty and Pounding The ...
