It looked like pretty good defense until the lead was established, at least (I missed the game and have only re-watched the first half yet)...the Lakers were forced into a lot of jumpshots and Pachulia played very good defense on Gasol. And the rebounding was excellent on both sides of the court for the Hawks<br /><br />Woodson may actually have taken Horford out because of his two fouls, but leaving Pacghulai in the rest of the half may actually have been an adjustment (!)...though an easy one because Zaza was obviously playing so well. (Isn't it amazing how that one behind the back pass a couple of weeks seems to have turned the guy's season around? He has been a lot more effective since then.)rbubphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995614356146242348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-1118331808864583632010-04-01T00:02:17.435-04:002010-04-01T00:02:17.435-04:00Strange game tonight. Too many Lakers fans there,...Strange game tonight. Too many Lakers fans there, but trash talking them was so much fun!<br /><br />Observations:<br />-Kobe was dominant in the first half but got help from no one...<br />-Adam Morrison is alive after all.<br />-Mo Evans is underrated, and he proved it tonight with respectable D on Kobe (vastly better than JJ's) and by forcing Kobe to respect his offense.<br />-The Lakers are soft inside and it showed tonight. Horford had an off game, and slightly made up for it with a decent 4thQ. Even so, Zaza killed the Lakers and set the tone early with a nasty dunk.ADIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418891767431781861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-35787667672367168072010-03-31T21:50:59.491-04:002010-03-31T21:50:59.491-04:00I listened to the game on the Lakers radio network...I listened to the game on the Lakers radio network. Great win by the Hawks. If they play like this, this team will go very far and could take the Magic/Cavs/C's to 7 in the ECQ.<br /><br />--GCIIGlennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220015404821594562noreply@blogger.com
