The Lakers' series-clinching win in Game 6 last Friday sets up a Western Conference finals against top-seeded Denver, a rematch of 2020, that begins Tuesday in Denver. I just think the Lakers may run into some trouble if they're relying on [Austin] Reaves and Lonnie Walker [IV]. Because you're going to need someone off the ball roaming off those drives if AD's sole focus is Jokic. It's when he's got 25 to 30 points and 10 to 15 assists and everyone's eating is where they're really, really scary. I think you're just gauging what Vanderbilt you're getting and what can you survive.
