It helped the Lakers that David Robinson can't make a layup. I'm thinking Earvin Johnson may be a better player than The Admiral. Okay, now that I have gotten some of the bitterness out of my system, here is a serious analysis. Ray Allen should get eaten alive by Kobe. Sam Cassell will be a key player. He should be able to score over Derek Fisher easily. And, Glenn Robinson should be able to score on Rick Fox, because of Fox's age and size disadvantage. Big Dog has trouble with more athletic players. However, it won't be that simple. One key to the Lakers stunning success this postseason is this junk "overplay" defense they are playing. They basically allow perimeter players to drive, hoping to send them into the teeth of the defense in the paint. Many times in the Spurs series, a Laker would simply allow the Spur guard to blow by him. The Spur guard would be confused, and not know what to do. Cassell is a savvy basketball player, and will know what to do. The other Bucks, I don't know. Tom
