The Mavs lost badly in their opener and they will need a few games to incorporate Marion and the new faces on the team. The Lakers have always beat the Mavs up on the inside and I expect another victory tonight.
Personally, I don't like playing it safe with fouls. I would leave the guy out there most of the time, let him play it out. Bryant often picks up fouls in waves and then knows when to back off. We didn't look as hot in Game 1 either. We have to work this rust off.
