If you're worried about the Lakers' 9th best player and whether he's playing or not, chances are you're in trouble anyway. Luke Walton wasn't going to make a difference in the series.
If/when we advance I don't want them to have any excuses in the event we make a series out of it. That said, i'm glad it's only a Luke Walton type.
who cares? the lakers strength (besides kobe's brilliance) is size and scoring ability. walton gives them neither.
