If game 1 can serve as an epic wake-up call, great. Mainly I just want to see the defense pick up where it left off in the first half of game 2 and over stay their welcome. By a long time. Like a few years from now.
1) LeBron needs Luka and Luka needs LeBron. This is all still coming together, so much untapped potential and a lot of talent yet to see coalesce. LeBron needs Luka to be this good going forward. Luka needs LeBron to keep on running the defense like a QB.
2) We need Reaves to hit shots in Minnesota. His offense is going to be key in regaining home court and potentially pushing the Wolves to the brink. He’s still too passive, we need more on the road.
3) Gabe needs to keep hitting shots in Minnesota. 10+ points for he and DFS or we might come back desperate. Can’t leave it all up to the starting five.
4) Now would be a great time for Jaxson Hayes to show some growth and take a step up. You want money? Minutes? Respect? A ring? Those things are earned in the playoffs. Battle. Hard.
5) Don’t lose composure but be physical. Need to come out swinging in game 3, keep ‘em down.

Michael Hinrich, AKA Michael H, has been a Lakers fan since his 5th grade basketball coach, who had played with Wilt Chamberlain at Kansas, turned him into a Wilt fan and Lakers fan when Wilt was traded to L.A.

NBA Observations- Big Money Spent For The Clippers And Heat, Are The Lakers Next?
The guys from the Lakers Fast Break return for some NBA Observation as they share thoughts on the recent big-money extensions for Miami coach Erik Spoelstra and the Clipper’s Kawhi Leonard. Does this mean the Lakers will be opening up their wallet a little more as well? Plus after Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic’s huge rant after the Lakers game because of the fourth-quarter free throw disparity, we ponder if Darvin Ham will ever show that kind of energy if he remains as the guys on the sidelines for LA.
