    Two players have been most responsible for killing the Los Angeles Lakers in the team's NBA Playoffs series against the Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol. Dirk is averaging 28 points on 56 percent shooting and 10 rebounds per game. Most of that is because Pau is usually the Laker guarding him. Now Dirk isn't known as an all-world defender. But on the other end, Gasol is averaging 13 points per game on 43 percent shooting.

    Pau is losing his matchup completely.
    Tom Haberstroh reports that Nowitzki has shot 19-25 (76 percent) when guarded by Gasol in this series. Against other Lakers -- Ron Artest and Lamar Odom, largely -- Dirk is 13-32 (41 percent). On the one hand, why is Jackson leaving Gasol on Nowitzki at all? But Phil should be able to trust his No. 2 player to play smart defense, even if he gets burned a little. Instead, Gasol is doing no better than, say, Derrick Caracter would. (That's not good.)
