Duncan is a tough cover and whoever is guarding him will need help

Duncan is a tough cover, and whoever is guarding him will need help. Odom is also making a huge impact.  He is big enough to post up, and can also play on the perimeter. Odom can rebound and defend, making him a very versatile player.C:Fabricio Oberto vs Pau Gasol. Meanwhile, Gasol is very agile and can slip through a defense to score. Gasol is very mobile and runs the floor, but isn't as good as Duncan in the post. Oberto is expected to catch the ball near the basket and lay it in, not much more.Bench:The Spurs bench containing Barry, Horry, and Finley is aging The question is how much they can contribute. All of them have experience and can get it done in the clutch The Lakers have an excellent bench.

Turiaf, Farmar, and Vujacic are solid, and will help the Lakers.PredictionThis series is very tight, and I expect it to go 7 games.  Kobe is playing at a incredibly high level and getting his teammates involved. Gasol is excellent in transition, while Odom is contributing in all phases of the game, making Odom a tough defensive assignment. The Lakers are just a little younger and more talented, and they edge out the Spurs and win this series Verdict: Lakers in 7 .
