OUT: LBJ,AD,Mo,2Ws. Easy win if LA had some bigs to play D and RB, but no such
luck. No AD, no Mo, no LBJ, no W. 6 guys in DFs with Van getting a DD. AR
was the high scorer which should tell ya something. If you can't protect the
rim/paint and you can't RB, you can't win. I mighta played AD with limited
minutes instead of sitting him and Rob needs to draft some size/length/speed.
Poor shooting/D/RBing costs a 50% record. 110-114 Lakers lose by 4 (looked
worse).
FBP: 7 vs 3; PIP: 46 vs 78; POT: 15 vs 8; SCP: 10 vs 20.
