In other news
Coach Vogel reacts to each game differently and makes line up changes accordingly, it has worked so far. Most teams have their preferred line ups to end games but the Lakers seem to have a different team out on the floor almost every night. This does 2 things, one good and one bad, first it keeps the opponents guessing so they can't prepare for match-ups and 2 it does not allow the Lakers to build great chemistry when finishing games. Are the Lakers making a mistake by doing this or do have they built trust in each other that anyone of the 3 through 10 players can step up and be a contributor at the end of games? Let us know what you think? (https://www.si.com/nba/2020/03/09/lakers-beat-clippers-bucks-with-versatility)
In my opinion
Dwight Howard was missed in this game as the Lakers allowed 14 offensive rebounds compared to their own 8 and also lost the points in the paint battle 42 to 36. Defensive rebounds and points in the paint are Howard's specialty and without him the Lakers relied more on their perimeter shots and no one stepped up to grab the missed shots from the Nets.
Your mamba mentality for the day.
From the 1999 - 2004 season, Kobe Bryant along with Shaquille O'Neal helped the Lakers win 3 championships and go to the NBA finals 4 times. This helped solidify the greatness of Kobe even at his young age of 26. (https://bleacherreport.com/articles/617324-kobe-bryant-was-his-nba-all-star-game-mvp-award-his-last-stand-as-a-star)
