The 2019-2020 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers Thread (#17 Achieved! RIP Kobe.)

Going to be a weird game against the Rockets. They have been going super small (I think PJ Tucker is the tallest player they give minutes to).

Wonder who makes the adjustment. AD's problem with playing the 5 is having to bang with 5s. I could see Frank being the one to adjust and AD playing heavy minutes at the 5 and Kuz at the 4.
 

The Lakers have a five-man lineup that fits almost perfectly together in LeBron, Davis, Kuzma, and two three-and-D wings in Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. They can run everything through LeBron and Davis, use Kuzma to fill in the blanks, and space the floor with Green and KCP. There aren’t many holes on either end of the floor. LeBron and Kuzma are their two worst defenders, and they are still huge forwards who can switch on screens and stay in front of smaller guards. That lineup has been dominant in the rare times when Vogel has gone to it, with a net rating of plus-25.6 in 42 minutes.
