Will Yao be fronted by Gasol, or defended by Bynum?

    I thought Ming was on Pau tonight in the post?

    Pau looked lost, he basically scored on like 3-4 broken plays.

    I'd give a little credit to our defense but damn, he did play horrible.

    in game one, it seemed like the lakers mostly played behind yao and sent help rather than fronting except for a few possessions when gasol was guarding him.

    i'd expect them to go more and more to fronting as the series goes on(especially when bynum is out of the game), but hopefully not for the rockets sake.

    If you don't front him, he'll wreck on you guys. He was held to like 18 points in 2 games when the Blazers fronted him. Why wouldn't that be useful in this series?

    Front him then, it isn't a hard adjustment.
