I like those odds. The Lake Show is 19-0 in game 5s at home when a playoff series is tied 2-2. I like those odds, too. The team that wants it more gets it. The bench is much better at home than on the road, & I truly believe that the Lakers will show up for this game and understand the urgency. Resting on yoru laurels or the assessment of others is not good enough...just ask the Cavs. The bottom line is this: The Lakers have homecourt advantage in a 3 game series. I like those odds.

I think that would be awesome, but only if David Stern were at the game and they could get a camera on him. There's a (very) small part of me that thinks it would be funny if both Howard and Kobe got their seventh TFs in close-out games, giving Stern the perfect platform for another of his optimistic "State of the League" speeches: "Nothing wrong here. All of our rules are perfect. And now, please rise for the national anthem, sung by The Replacements!")

Bench has not been there to help. Sasha & Walton i dont even wanna see on the court majority of the time! True that Pau is soft on D, but what Laker has not looked soft? It seems like our role players are not understanding what their roles really are. Here's to hoping they figured it out for tonights game! GO LAKERS!!

Gasol with Powell. Bynum with Mbenja. Ariza with Odom. Fisher with Farmar. Have a chat with the starter, and get them back in after a few minutes of hyper burn from the sub. Let the sub know, in no uncertain terms, that the burn they are getting now will directly effect their playtime in the remainder of this season, as well as next year. Hustle. HUSTLE. Body up on Defense. Cut and Dive and Set Picks on Offense. 2) Try a Big Man Rotation: Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Ariza, and Kobe. Put them on the floor for 4-5 minutes in the first quarter, and the third, and see what we get out of it. If you are not willing to fire all of your bullets, here and now, then we had no business being in the gunfight to begin with. 3) Have an extremely short leash on Fisher and Sasha. Any PUJITS, or non set jumpers, or shots of any kind with no presence under the hoop would get them yanked, and give Farmar/Brown some burn. 4) Use DJ Mbenga (and all of his glorious, hard fouls) to get under the skin of K-Mart and Melo. If he cannot foul out in 4 minutes of burn, then he is not the enforcer we are looking for. K-Mart and Melo are well known for their short tempers, and selfish play once they are angered. Make them angry. Rattle them. 5) Inside out. Run back on Offense and get position in the paint. Draw fouls. Go up strong with 2 hands. Pass to open cutters and dives. Play crash ball. 6) Allow Kobe to create if we have no high % shots with 8 seconds or less on the shot clock. Kobe thrives that way, and it is demoralizing to bang, hustle, screen and help for the first 2/3 of a possession, only to have Kobe make a move, spin and toss up a ridiculous shot between 2 defenders and have it go in. Anyway, that would be my game plan. WWPJD? If I were Phil Jackson:

Starting the offense with Pau more has no bearing on whether or not this is “Kobe’s team.”
