Nice win. No dunks for Howard.
His offensive game is really limited. If he catches the ball more than five feet away from the basket, he's pretty useless (although he does pass out of the paint pretty well to open men).
For all the talk about how soft Gasol is, he did a pretty good job defending Howard.
The Black Mamba was incredible. Not just the 40 points, but 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, including blocking Howard's shot.
That said, I'm hoping Kobe was just trying to set the tone for the series and will not be taking 30 shots a game. I think the Lakers are a better team when other guys step up and make shots.
I think Kobe will probably have more than 10 assists on Sunday if the Magic start to double him.
