i think the keys to victories are:
Spurs victory
the big three needs to play effective and another role guy like barry, finley, or udoka needs to have a solid game.
Duncan will get his numbers especially if phil stays single coverage with pau
parker will get his 18 and 7
they wild card is manu. if he playes like he did in game 3, its going to be tough for the lakers to win game 4. having said that, manu hit some ridiculous shots on fisher and sashas heads. i dont think he'll have that crazy of a game but will be effective tonite.
Lakers victory
kobe will be kobe but the biggest wildcard is odom. he NEEDS to take oberto and horry to the hole and finish strong. there is no way they can check him if odom is aggressive. and he needs to make FT's.
fisher also needs to knock down his open shots. i think he has proven his playoff prowless and will come to play tonite.
the bench also needs to play well for the lakers to have a chance tonite. as with the cases so far in the playoffs. the younger benches play way better at home. they feel more comfortable and feed off the crowd. if the lakers get some good bench play along with odom and fisher playing like they did all year, i feel they can steal a game at the alamo. (or at&t now)
