Does Kobe decide to play hero ball or does he distribute to Gasol and Howard? I'd be tempted to focus the defense on Pau and Dwight early in the game and in the first five minutes of the 3rd quarter. If they are discouraged early, I'd guess their energy levels fall dramatically.
Mavs should be able to score against the Fakers, as LA has given up an average of 108 pts the last five games. That includes games against Washington (103), GS (109), Timberwolves (117), Bucks (113), and the Kings (98).
I think this is set up for a nice Mavs win.
