Looks like Rockets and Clippers will be Lakers next playoff foes

Lakers need to finish off Blazers to get a few extra practices to get ready for Rockets next Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have no doubt they will be able to get back on track and prepare for the next series. A little load management before then is paramount, but a brief stoppage because of the boycott could affect their rhythm. Hopefully that’s not going to be the case.
I think we’ll win tomorrow, Buba, but I suspect we’ll not play great. I’m a little worried about Dwight, who along with Rondo voted not to resume the playoffs. That and the layoff could hurt our chemistry. Every time we get rolling something seems to come up to stop our momentum .
Man I hate it when injuries take the best players out of the playoffs. Just leaves a hollow feeling about how the series could have gone differently.
Sorry he got injured but it wouldn’t have made a difference. Series was over before he was injured
A lot easier to say when he’s hurt and the series is over. Truth is we’ll never get to know as he was hurt the final couple games in one way or another. Not an excuse for my over-zealous prediction, just the reality of sport.
