So much for Bane's prediction of a game 7. Lakers blow out MEM in game 6 and
will advance to GSW/SAC West Coast Semi-Finals on Sunday. Lakers still haven't
cured their BH/RBing issues, but they stepped up their O/D to get the easy W.
Only 4 guys in DFs with AD getting the lone DD. I'm surprised there were only
4 guys in DFs with only 2 over 20 pts. Let's see how they fare in the WCSFs
against SSAC/GSW - SAC played them a lot tougher than GS, so I'd rather see a
GSW match-up. 125-85 Lakers win by 40 in a B/O.
FBP: 9 vs 6; PIP: 52 vs 32; POT: 19 vs 19; SCP: 20 vs 9.
