LAL @ MIN Dec 30

Hoping our starting five against the Hornets gets another try. We’re winning this tonight, calling it.
Go Lakers!
Go Lakers!
Good game. After D Lo went out, unfortunately injured by taking a rare hard charge(!), we got to see the lineup that I’d currently want to start, at least for a few minutes:
Reaves, Prince, LBJ, Vanderbilt, AD.
They kept pace for a few minutes with a team that has the best record in the league and are 11-1 winning games decided by five pts or less. We almost took them out.
It’s a balanced unit on both ends. Decent perimeter defense point of attack, good low post defense, brainy team defense around the key, less drop coverage, three great playmakers, four clutch shot makers, five good cutters, four good FT shooters.
If we want to go big instead, just replace Rui with Reaves and let LBJ and AD be the primary playmakers.
