Ayton and KD out. LeBron out.
I’d start Reaves, Walker, Brown Jr, Vanderbilt, AD. That way it’ll be possible to slow down Booker.
Kobe’s plan would be to work Booker to death on Booker’s defensive end.
Discuss. Go Lakers!

The fact that it’s not exploited even more by every opponent is shocking, but Monty Williams who is awake had his guys shoot jumpers over a misplaced D Lo all night.
When the post season starts, D Lo and Beasley both need to give way to Lonnie Walker IV. He gives a flying f about protecting our basket. D Lo has perfected his act of looking like he’s playing defense but he’s really just standing still in that wrong place all night, every night.

Uhh, what? D’Lo’ man defense isn’t great because he isn’t very fast, but he’s a smart and very willing team defender.
Walker is not a guy who you play big minutes in the playoffs. There’s a reason why he’s been racking up DNPs since the Lakers have upgraded the team at the deadline.
