Really no impact on us Lineup wise. If they start Tillman, then lebron on Tillman, dlo on brooks
If they start kennard, then lebron on brooks and dlo on kennard

I’m wondering how much Bamba gets used in this series?

We would have a clear size advantage
On limited minutes and exclusively on defense.

Whoever Bamba is guarding will be taken out to the permiter.

Grizzs will try to get DLo to guard Ja

How will Vando be uitlized effectively on offense to keep him on the court to play defense on Jackson, otherwise Rui will get more PT

Will DLo and Beasley be effective enough to provide driving lanes for LBJ and AD?

How will we make Ja work on defense? If Ja is defending Vando, will Ham take Ja to the basket so that the Lakers will have a rebounding advantage?

If Ja is guarding, will DLo force him to play more defense

How much will DS will be defending Ja?

Mo needs 12 minutes at least…time with AD, LBJ, and Rui…to develop and judge chemistry and effectiveness. I know it’s the playoffs so time is precious but the potential positives are worth the risk for limited minutes at least.

In 12 minutes for Mo minimum success would look something like:
7pts
1blk
3rbs
2-5 FG
1-3 3PT
2-3 FT

Bron missed a whole lot of free throws. Not good. Free Throws have been a Lakers bane.

I wish. We're a 7th seed for a reason: Lebron is at 70% due to age and nursing his foot injury and this full roster hasn't had much time playing together.

1) Limit the TOs so we limit the cheap fast break points
2) Solid perimeter defense with an emphasis on Kennard


As a laker fan what u expect me to say? We going to lose today?

this is so wack. Bay Area Sports is still showing all of the Warriors Series 1 even when the games are aired on one of the National channels.

Why isn't Spectrum doing this game? Why do I have to watch the National broadcast? Le Sigh. tired of these broadcast shenanigans

Anyway Let's Go Lakers!
