OUT: LBJ,Gabe,2Ws. Hard to watch Rams with my left eye and Lakers with my right
eye - Rams up 10-0 at Laker start and 27-7 at Laker HT; 30-22 at EOQ 3 with 2m
to go; Rams win 30-22; too bad Lakers couldn't follow suit. 5 guys in DFs with
no DDs - not sure why AD couldn't get 10 RBs unless he wasn't blocking out.
Lakers got beat by fouling too much, not handling the ball well & poor RBing.
Pretty much the same things every game - at least they score more with LBJ in
the game. 111-118 Lakers lose by 7.

FBP: 6 vs 4; PIP: 40 vs 50; POT: 13 vs 17; SCP: 7 vs 17.
