The Lakers must win this game tonight and end the 4 game losing streak. The Cavs won't have Big Z available, which means Andrew Bynum doesn't have any excuses to not have a productive game. The Lakers recently lost to the Cavs, but they did do a nice job of limiting LeBron James driving attempts. The problem was leaving Pavlovic open and he killed the Lakers from the perimeter. Lamar Odom has been heavily criticized since his return, it's time for him to re-focuse and come out blazing early on in this game. Lamar needs to attack the rim tonight, and not settle for 3 pointers. Since his return he's been chucking up jumpshots instead of scoring in the paint and putting the defense on their heals. Both Varejao and Gooden reach a lot on defense, and Odom can get them in quick foul trouble by going right at them early on in this game.
