OUT: Vando,CW. 3 games left. Definitely no Tacos tonite. AD gets knocked out
in Q1 with a arm to the eye and no LBJ tonite; hence no W. 5 guys in DFs with
Jax/DLo getting the DDs. Lakers got beat up in the paint by their bigs and I
hope the Lakers get a big ass center to add to the mix next year; plus a backup
and then they can move AD back to the 4 and LBJ back to the 3. 15 TOs and 12
oORBs won't get it done and they got out-shot on top of that. 117-127 Lakers
lose by 10.

FBP: 6 vs 4; PIP: 52 vs 62; POT: 15 vs 17; SCP: 10 vs 15.
