Gasol whinged to the media that the key to the Lakers being competitive was being patient, swinging the ball around with good movement, then dump it in to either him or Dwight Howard.
I agree with him. Those two are near unstoppable inside. With Kobe hurt and Nash damaged, their outside game is nowhere near as effect. Their inside 1-2 is probably the best in the game.
So I see Gasol getting the love here, as he is now captaining the offense and Kobe is talking to him. Gasol gets the inside baskets, a few fouls, and a bunch of easy rebounds, put-ins, and of course, the rebounds on the defensive end as well.
And seeing that the underdog in all of these Game Twos have been more than competitive, that sounds good for the Lakers.

As long as the Lakers stay in this thing, he is right on target for both of these.
Nash has been yapping at Gasol in the 2nd Quarter. I think Nash has figured out there isn't enough pressure inside on the Spurs when the Lakers have the ball. I look for a lot of inside work in the 2nd Half.
