Pretty bonkers that the Lakers' bench is vastly better than the Sixers. They won that game for LA last night. Team was -8 with LeBron on the floor.

Don't like Doc keeping the rotation short. This team is going to be running on fumes by game 6. And Niang gets exposed when he plays too much.

Shake is rotting on the pine even though he won a playoff game against Atlanta two years ago when he gave the team a huge spark off the bench. If one of the three guards is struggling (and all of them have had their share of bad games so far), Doc needs to think outside the box for a change and at least provide a different look with Shake out there. Sure, Shake has had an up-and-down season and he may not be the answer, but when he is effective he is capable of getting into the paint and providing some needed scoring punch.

Maxey needs to mix it up on offense. When he drives to the bucket, 99 percent of the time you know he's going to try to score at the hoop. He's becoming an easy target for shot blockers. He has to learn to pass the ball out to open shooters or pull up for mid-range shots every now and then in order to keep the defense honest.

Well, we saw it Sunday, no lead is safe, but the play, especially Maxey is encouraging

I have to pick up my son from the train station, so I'll be gone an hour. Hopefully my not watching is good luck
