What is the best way to defend Lakers in the playoffs?

I was just about to say this... thread putting the cart before the horse here

 

Lakers and clippers length now is part the reason the other day I asked if we should consider trying to sign Lance Stephenson for his size and defense. Lack of size for defense is part the reason why I liked the roster we had when we still had Ariza even though we got better other places this past season.

 

I'd be more worried about how we'll defend the Clippers than I would the Lakers. Lakers don't scare me like the Clippers do (now).

 

Fify

 

Lobs all day. They have no one that can take away the lob to Capela right now.

 

No mercy! Sweep the legs!!

The Fakers are SOFT!!

If they play Boogie, we won’t need to worry about defense. There is no way he can stop a Harden Capela pick and roll.

 

- Against LBJ, got to just stay in front of him and make him work
- Against AD, fronting with Capela would probably work best
- Against Boogie, we honestly don't have anyone that can guard him

 

Except Bev is injury prone. Kawhi sits out 25 games for load management, PG is coming off shoulder surgery.

Be interesting to see if PG and Kawhi’s defense take a step back since they have no shot blocker behind them.

 

Not with him having to keep up with Westbrook or Harden on defense. Old man LeBron's quarterly scoring would be something like: 15-10-6-3. Still a solid 34 points, but not when it counts.

 

Don't they have Zubac behind them? He is a pretty good blocker against drivers, but from what I have seen, it doesn't look like he can get up high enough or move fast enough to take away the lob.

 

probably would come down to which duo dominates their matchups more. we are small inside, so AD and bron have a big advantage there, but they are also very weak at the guard positions.

 

The Rockets are not afraid of Zubac. Didn’t CP clown him? If CP could clown him imagine what Westbrook could do?

 

We aren't afraid of him on an ISO matchup, but if we are driving on him while he is in the paint, he will probably get a few blocks.

 

There is no way we won’t be setting 1 million picks until someone other than Kawhi and Pg are guarding our stars.

 

That depends on how they scheme to guard the PnR. They could approach it like GSW did.

 

It comes down to the role players. No one can really guard the superstars. Lebron and Harden will get their points.

 

that’s the spirit

 

Boogie is on the team, meaning they don't have a chance at a ring. Enough said!

 

We won't have to worry about the Lakers; Lebron and Davis will probably miss a lot of games in the regular season, so they'll probably miss the playoffs.
