OUT: Cam,Vando,CW. Two things stand out: 1) lakers -12 in SCPs due to poor
RBing (they need more bigs like Nurkic's size); 2) lakers -14 in FTMs & -11 in
FTAs. If they could RB, they woulda won. 5 guys in DFs with LBJ/AD getting DDs.
113-123 Lakers lose by 10 and shoulda won this one.

FBP: 6 vs 3; PIP: 52 vs 40; POT: 26 vs 17; SCP: 10 vs 22.
