    Shroeder is starting and I bet with Kuzma too. Silver Screen and Roll with the scoop.

    So if they want Kuz’s height looks like Frank not afraid to bring KCP off the bench.

    Howard's athleticism will be missed.

    Lakers have a lot of bodies right now who "deserve minutes". Going to be hard to play 11 men every night as you can't get much of a rhythm.

    One thing I'm pretty sure I don't like is a Kuzma, Morris, Harell frontcourt. No rim protection and for some reason the Lakers are allergic to using Harell in PnR right now.

    Vogel will figure it out ... Kuzma shouldn't play 27 minutes a night for example

    Gasol is done. He'll have a decent game here and there but he's done. At this point, Pau is more mobile and more athletic player.

    1) Gasol can shoot and pass but him being a turtle out there negates the advantages he has over Dwight. Dwight brings energy, easy lobs, and great interior defense. Plus, he is familiar with the Lakers system. It just feels like Gasol is too slow to do anything.

    2) Montrezl+Schroder will give you 40 points per game, easily. It's a huge relief knowing the Lakers have instant offense with those two guys. They're both every bit as advertised.

    3) Can AD please block some shots? Seems like he hasn't blocked many shots since COVID season.

    4) Near 30 minutes for Bron and AD is ideal. Seeing AD get banged up and falling down every game scares the hell out of me.

    5) I still don't know where Vogel can find the minutes for guys like THT, Caruso, and Morris. I was expecting a bigger role for Caruso but with THT also being able to play decent minutes, it's just a deep roster the Lakers have that can end up being problematic if guys aren't getting consistent minutes and start feeling bad.

    harrell, tonight, was the prime reason we didn't have to bring lebron back in. last year, we have to play lebron 36+ minutes to win yesterday.
