Almost impossible to do since that game 3 was close and a shot here and there gives the Rickets a lead. Same thing firnthr beginnings of game 4 and 5.

Hilarious.

Yawn. I’m sooo shaken up by their backdoor sweep.

You thought they were going to lose.

You should show Lebron some more faith.

Yeah, I did. And then Rondo went from looking like the worst guard in the NBA to being very good overnight. I never saw that coming, and I’m far from the only one.

The AD/Morris/James/Green/KCP lineup has played 30 minutes in the playoffs:

128.6 ORtg, 73.7 DRtg, +54.9

Morris has been an outstanding signing. He might've saved our season.

Would be hilarious if this was actually AD.

The Old Man only having to play 34 mins a night this postseason is big.

I remember stressing how important he would be before the restart (and what a big loss he would be if he did not show).

People were on here penciling him in as a 9th/10th man off the bench.

I was convinced that he would be the best option for a closing lineup:

KCP (or whoever is hot)
Green (or KCP)
James
Morris
Davis

...that was my breakdown at the time.

I think if the Lakers can play Zubac off the floor, they'll have a great shot at the Clippers. Their defense without Zubac can be pretty weak.

I’m glad Lakers didn’t get an wine like Kemba. They’re better off how they are. Two stars and defensive supporting cast >>>

If it is the Clippers they can't play around. I think this is why the Clippers haven't played great. They really waiting and wanting the Lakers all year long. This is who they are going to go all out for it seems.

Clippers definitely playing down to their competition imo. Should be a great wcfs

I expect the Lakers to go back to their standard lineup versus the Clippers, but I am certain that their best starting unit against the Clippers and whoever comes out of the East would be:

KCP
Green
James
Morris
Davis

Doc will play Zubac off the floor

What are people's thoughts on Doc vs Vogel? Doc seems to be someone that people have a very wide range of opinions about.

I think the Lakers have played harder and more consistent all season, so I think you have to attribute that to Vogel to be fair to him.

The Clippers have been the more inconsistent and lackadaisical team compared to the Lakers.

I don't think either of them are top tier coaches, but Vogel has done a better job this season than Doc has.

Doc is a way better offensive coach but Vogel has really impressed me in these playoffs. He's willing to adjust and put in guys who usually don't get a lot of play if things aren't working.

Clippers don't really exude any type of high level offense to be honest.

They run some basic action and rely on plenty of isolations.

You don't need the Lakers to do that.

Doc will do it himself.

He will die on the hill with Montrez instead of playing Zubac like he should.
