OUT: Cam,Vando,CW. I'm worried before the game about DEN's size. Hopefully
Rob can get two more bigs (near 7') in the off-season with something in the
wallet to defend the paint, RB and dunk - neither AD or Jax have enough beef to
guard a Joker - then move AD back to PF and LBJ to the 3.

Lakers were good in H1 and didn't show the A/E in H2 to pull of the W. They
had +6 TOs, -9 ORBs and were only 28% from 3. DLo, AR & TP were all poor from
3 or it woulda been a different story. 5 guys in DFs with AD getting the DD
and LBJ was strong too. 103-114 Lakers lose by 11.

FBP: 5 vs 9; PIP: 54 vs 64; POT: 8 vs 14; SCP: 8 vs 18.
