Lakers will start Andre Drummond at center. Warriors will still start Kevon Looney. But expectation is that this game's biggest moments will probably be decided with Draymond Green and Anthony Davis at center.

Vogel’s stubbornness in sticking with Drummond even though AD at the 5 vs GSW is the obvious answer is maddening.@Mark_A_Tink tells what Heat’s head assistant coach(Mark’s old friend) thought was the clear turning point in last year’s finals.

Frank needs to remember this is just a single game not a 7-game series. If Drummond gets hunted and abused by Steph and Dray, Vogel needs to make the move to AD quickly. Can’t allow Dubs to get a lead or build confidence. Lakers need to get off to a quick start or Frank needs to move to AD at the 5 right away.

Why hasn’t Vogel figured out that Montrezl is the problem? He adds nothing on either end but disjointed bs. Gasol should be in there when only one other ball handler is in. He’s iso much better on both ends. What is his vs Montrezl +/- ??
LakerTom says
Hey, Sean, the problem is having a traditional center clogging up the paint whether Drummond or Harrell is not how you create space for LeBron or AD to get to the rim. Gasol is the only center we have other than AD who can spread defenses and create space.
