Naturally, Lakers fans are rejoicing after their game 1 triumph and rightfully so. The thinking out there that Gasol and Kobe were the difference makers are just plain wrong. That, to me, is evidence of a person that looked at the stat lines but didn't watch the game. The game was over before the half was done, largely because Andrew Bynum clogged the middle and utilized his size to dominate the area around the hoop on the defensive end. There were no clear paths to the basket and as a result, Gasol blocked a number of shots, the C's took a number of bad shots from the perimeter, and had no rhythm on the offensive end.
Kobe is Kobe and he'll do all the things that the best player in the game should do but he was not a difference maker last night. Gasol's passing gave the Lakers an inside-out game that is crucial in the triangle, but it was the play of big Andrew Bynum that set the Lakers apart on the defensive end last night.
