I believe that LA has no one that can defend KG, but other than the first quarter of game 1, he has been horrible offensively. He is taking too many jumpers, and even though he usually makes them, he is missing the majority of them. He has taken very few shots inside, and has missed many of those too. What's up with him? If he can get back on track offensively, we will end this series in LA.

The short answer is, He's not shooting well. It happens, and to be honest he shot really well in the first half of game one. I expect he'll be fine. I would bet he comes out of his slump quicker that Ray did, and he's doing fine now.

Even when his offense isn't working that well, KG is so often doing key things away from the ball - especially defensively and on the boards.  He did have 14 rebounds last night.

Whether or not he comes back with a huge offensive game in game 3, we can count on him to do the unselfish things and keep making everyone else better.  The only two numbers of KG's in Game 2 that concern me are +/- (-9, which I'm guessing is mostly from the fourth quarter implosion), and turnovers (4).

A little more low-post aggressiveness, and he'll be all set!
