Today marks the glorious return of former Lakers greats, Earl Clark and Mike Brown, to Staples Center. Expect flowers to rain on the court with a standing ovation.
The Lakers are 6-13 (31.6 W%) against the Top 15 Defensive Teams, while the Cavs are 9-10 (47.4 W%) against the Bottom 15 Defensive Teams. (though after the other night, Cavs may have slipped out of the 15th spot *according to Hollinger)
Irving, Waiters, Jack in the win against Utah: 54 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, on 54.1 FG%
Irving, Waiters, Jack in the loss against Sacramento: 20 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, on 18.5 FG%
The Lakers have had three days of rest since their 36 point blowout loss against the Clippers. They are 1-0 in the one game with at least that much rest. (W vs Golden State 102-95).
Flyer Miles: Over his last three games, C.J. is averaging 21.7 PPG, on 67.7% FG% and 78% 3P% in 26.7 minutes.
The game after Kyrie scored zero against Atlanta, he came back with 20 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds... with 7 turnovers... in a win against the Clippers.
The Lakers are coming off a 36 point loss, the Cavs a 44 point loss. Someones got to win tonight, right?
Some Keys
- Control the paint.
- Limit Nick Young and Pau Gasol (If he even plays...)
- Don't overlook their injury depleted roster. Their starters will play a lot of minutes.
- Make shots.
- Forget the last "game".
