The Lakers have now figured out how to play together as a new group. So the continuity and momentum from where they left off will not be affected by resting before the next series, unlike the previous 2 series when they were adjusting on the fly. Resting their bodies now is a premium they will need to recharge. That bodes well for a team that needs to make a stronger push to the finish line.
Gives LeBron and AD and Rondo change to recharge their bodies.
I also think they won’t come out and lose Game 1 for a third tiime.
