Now it’s dangerous to be black man riding a bicycle.!
Just another sign of the times we're unfortunately in, Rafael. I remember you telling Gerald and me just last week you never really left the house in fear of being singled out because you were a black man. Couldn't blame you if that's no longer true. Best to you, man, stay safe. https://t.co/jbawlYAQdM

For the Lakers, the key will be to at least limit the Rockets’ attempts from the corners. P.J. Tucker, in particular, is deadly from those positions. Forcing him and other shooters to put the ball on the floor will be the Lakers’ defensive gameplan – even if it’s easier said than done. Meanwhile, the Lakers will have to gauge the advantages of going big to have an additional rim protector and someone who can crash the boards against the smaller Rockets (e.g. JaVale McGee or Dwight Howard) and the disadvantage of that player struggling to stick with shooters on the perimeter. A player like Markieff Morris could be a key here as he can play big on the glass while having the agility to guard wings.
Here is how Lakers can overcome the Rockets’ main tendencies
Aloha Tom
the article I read said we only have full vet minimums left. If thats the case I would like to see Boogie. As for the other slot, we probably will look at an insurance PG. with money drying up there are several out there. Or we could add Zavier Simpson and another promising G leaguer. we can only dress 12 guys for a game anyway.
I have Lakers in 5. What’s your prediction?
2021 NBA Championship Team!
PG: SCHRODER, Caruso
SG: Caldwell-Pope, MATTHEWS, Horton-Tucker
