The Lakers are a finesse team. The Lakers don’t like to mix it up. This is what was being said before the series and after game 1. Yes, the Lakers were out rebounded significantly in game one but now the Lakers had to prove they could hang with the so called big boys on the boards in game 2. The prognosticators, nay sayers and even some of the Lakers were calling Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol soft. Really? So what happens? Lamar (19 points, 16 rebounds) and Pau (20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks) had monster games. So much for them being soft.
