I think this is the blueprint of how you want to attack the Lakers in the playoffs. I think defensively, you want to switch a lot. They have really struggled since the Luka trade with their offense against switch-heavy teams. They tend to mismatch hunt.

And on nights when their jumper is falling, which is actually especially late in the game as they were trying to make that comeback, it started to fall. But for the most part, it was not falling for the first three quarters. They can stagnate and they can settle for contested jumpers tonight. They really struggled to get downhill.

And then once they did, I thought Golden State was very effective with their paint defense. But for the Lakers, it was a lot of just side-to-side movements and actions rather than getting downhill and creating advantages. I thought they did a good job early. They were posting up with Rui and LeBron.

and able to find some skip passes to the weak side corner, got some offensive rebounds, actually had eight offensive rebounds through the first quarter. And then from that point on, we're not as effective. So I think from an offense perspective, you saw Golden State's defense really stymie them. And then when the Lakers are on defense, you got to attack them in transition.

You got to be, whether it's after makes or turnovers, you have to hit them in transition. That remains arguably their weakest area defensively, especially when you have a certain level of speed and athleticism, you can really attack them with early offense and transition offense.

I thought Golden State did a great job of doing that, but then also within their half-court sets, because of the movement, because of the speed and athleticism, they were really able to capitalize on... L.A. having to try to protect Luka defensively and just some of their shortcomings on that end.

So I think Golden State, like this is our first time seeing Luka versus the Warriors with the Lakers and Jimmy versus the Lakers with the Warriors and certainly some concerns on the Lakers side.
