| I really hope for 48 minutes of high effort Laker basketball. Would be great to see the same defense we got from the first quarter in the last game, stretched out over 4 quarters. |

They need to sustain that 1st quarter energy. I didn't see the start of the game. I was watching the Davis, Garcia fight. From what I've read it looks like they became complacent.

It was a lot of things. For example they were leaving Brooks open and I think he clanked about 4 early 3 point shots which just got them well behind early  |

don't need 48. 7 minutes a qt of elite defense should get it done.

| This game is probably going to be an all out war as the Grizzlies know if they lose tonight they likely lose the series. |

I understand why they didn't sweat his 3pt shooting. He shoots around 31% from the stripe. However, they shouldn't disregard his shot. He shoots around 41% from the field. If he gets hot that may ignite a team fire.

Just want to see a primarily 8 man playoff rotation:
(AD/LBJ/Rui/AR/Dlo playing starter minutes) +
(Mo/Vando/Schro off the bench for defense).
TBjr/LW4 can be used for only change of pace in limited minutes.
Everybody else including Beas gets DNPs.

Why is everybody always expecting a full game for 48 Minutes, which is something that is not sustainable. |

| We can't let them get out in transition. Last game we let them have too many quick transition baskets, the Lebron missed dunk, the Rui muck ups when trying for a transition bucket of his own, and it hurt going the other way. Have to fix that up for this game and make them score in the half court. |

As long as Ham use Rui/Bron as C. This will be a stressful game. |
