Chris Paul

 The Hornets All-Star guard at last demonstrated up with a major game for New Orleans.  He had 33 points and 14 assists in the Hornets win.  It hasn’t been a great year for Paul but he demonstrated on Sunday that he still has what it takes to be an affect competitor. Portion of the difficulty for the Lakers is that they do not have a point guard who can play defense.  Derek Fisher is a great offensive player but he is not excellent on defense. His backup Steve Blake is not a solid defender either.  The Lakers must find a method to contain Paul and it will not be with either Fisher or Blake.  Paul had the lowest scoring season of his career but he was not competing the Lakers every evening.

 

Lakers Need Pau Gasol to exhibit Up

 The Lakers had a huge difficulty stopping Chris Paul however they furthermore had an issue on the offensive end as Pau Gasol determined to be invisible in Game 1.  He had just 8 points and 6 rebounds.  A stiff off the bench might have put up those numbers.  Gasol should be dominating inside vs the New Orleans Hornets but in the 1st competition he didn’t deliver.  The LA Lakers need Gasol to exhibit some energy on Wednesday evening.
