How will the Lakers win without Kobe?

With Coach Mike D'Antoni at the helm, the Lakers are foreseen as a run-and-gun team much as the Phoenix Suns before. But with Kobe Bryant as the primary option for scoring, that plan will definitely change as they will try to look for more isolation plays. 

Now that Kobe has tore his Achilles tendon and won't suit up for the purple and gold for some time, it is high time for the Lakers to use up their giant frontline of Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard as often as possible.

For sure if they pound the ball inside, 8 or 9 times out of 10, there WILL be scoring opportunities. The way I see it, nagiging V-Mack na si Dwight Howard. He's been hitting free throws whenever "Hack-a-Dwight" is being employed by the opposing teams.

They could also use screens for shooters like Steve Blake, Jodie Meeks, Antawn Jamison and Metta World Peace. Let's not forget that 2-time MVP Steve Nash is manning the backcourt for the Lakers, the same court general of D'Antoni in Phoenix before, so familiarity won't be an issue.

Tomorrow they will the face the Spurs anew. According to some people in social networking sites, the only way that the Lakers will win is to not allow the Spurs to step on the floor. Well, kung pupwede 'yun, why not? Hahaha! But seriously speaking, Tim Duncan is like Ranidel De Ocampo out there. Yung mapapasabi ka ng "Ambagal naman ng kilos nya, bakit hindi nyo mapalpal?". He's not called the Big Fundamental for nothing. He will shoot the bank shot, he will drive and make a semi-hook, he will dunk, heck, he will even assist. Thing is, Pau Gasoft, este, Gasol, should man up and DO NOT allow Timmy to have space to maneuver, but not to tight to cause a foul.

Dwight Howard should also assert himself as one of the best shotblockers in the league.

Personally speaking, I am not a Laker fan, but I just had some things in mind that they could do to able to sneak one or two in there. Ika nga ng ilang fans, sayang naman ang pinaghirapan ni Kobe.

Before I end, let me digress. Bayern Munich PUMMELLED Barcelona in the UEFA CL Semis, 4-0, behind 2 goals from Thomas Muller and a goal each from Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben.

Barca, ANYARE?
