I know many wouldn't agree. But If I was the Lakers I would sit the starters on Tuesday against OKC. To keep the psychological edge of we just killed you when we last played going into the playoffs.
Sucks they lost the Warriors game. They might have been able to get away with that. Not sure now.

Then again the Thunder gotta start resting guys as well right? Although SGA didnt play in the 4th.

Nico knew what he was talking about :yeshrug:

The issue is he isn’t able to blow by anybody anymore and he’s only 25 years old.

Having to bang bodies in the post and hoping guys go for head fakes to get an open shot is not ideal for his age
You're determined to be on the wrong side of history about everything, ain't you?

At this point Lakers just need to be prepared to face all the teams.
It’s seems as of late the only way for a title to be approved of

Is to play every team and it’s no injury and have less free throws than every playoff series


People are now finding excuses not to respect a title


Don’t duck no team and beat them

Realistically what seed do we want? Who do we want to face in the 1st round?
Memphis and Houston are the only two “easy” out. Houston might be stuck at 2. Memphis will probably end up at 8.

Outside of them….
Clips are tough, Wolves are tough, Nuggets are… Warriors are tough.

Honestly, the Nuggets might be the Lakers best matchup. Shut down Murray and they should be good. Jokic will eat regardless. The kids will wilt. Biggest issue will probably be Gordon. He is killling it at the three this year.
