Frank Vogel points to three straight overtime games as a fatigue factor for the Lakers. Remember, those were on the heels of a seven-game road trip that also got blamed for some fatigue. Now compensating for no AD/Schroder. Fatigue accruing compound interest for these Lakers.

Chance of Cook being waived may be increasing!
I'm really interested to see what the Lakers do with Quinn Cook's contract before Wednesday. If they waive him, they'll be able to sign two players using the pro-rated veteran's minimum exception. It also opens up the possibility for them to take some salary back in a trade.
