Lakers/Rockets....anyone else think LAL should start Anthony Davis at Center , LBJ at PF instead of starting McGee?  Houston doesn't need to guard McGee so his size becomes mostly irrelevant to Houston's small ball lineup. He also isn't much of a rebounder/shotblocker/shot alterer to make a difference on that end.

I would start Rondo (I know he was late to the bubble due to hand injury) and let him guard Eric Gordon.

Then match up KCP and Green with Harden and Westbrook.

That leaves LBJ and Davis vs Covington and Tucker.

This is not a series for McGee and Dwight - they don't have enough punch to make a difference.

Totally agree. Houston’s small ball makes Dwight and mcgee unplayable in this series.

AD’s reluctance to play center makes what they do in this series going forward very interesting.

It's gonna be really fun to see LAL vs LAC.  You can bet James is rooting for the Clippers to get upset first.  Kawhi is comin' for dat a**.

Do you think LaL will beat the rockets??

the rockets just seem like a matchup nightmare for the lakers.

My guess is they want the first bubble to get games kicked off before pivoting to the 2nd bubble. They did say it would start in September.

Yeah I think I heard sept 14- oct 6

but I’m not completely sure.

18-30. Draftniks like him a lot more than teams

Yeah he seems to be getting a lot of hype right now.

I always thought bud was overrated and he’s finally getting exposed.

Also, Butler talked about people "controlling" him.  This is a grown man we're talking about.  You don't "control" grown men.  You're either equipped to either deal with his personality, or you're not.   

If you're not equipped to deal with him, stay away.  If you are, you bring him in.

Totally agree.
