Robin Lopez has been out for 7 weeks now. He's been scrimmaging, trying to get in shape to be able to play in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. Numerous players have tried to do this in the past and have failed. The thing that gives me hope is that Robin has never been relied upon to be a scorer. He is in the starting lineup to rebound and play solid defense. If he can get in shape enough to play in Game 1, I believe he will make an impact. Defense and rebounding is all about technique and 'want it more'. Robin will do just fine in those categories. He will eat up space in the paint and allow for Amare to do his thing. He will also keep Gasol and Bynum off the boards.
