I don't think Alex Lennon expected. Alex, he did not.

Yeah, we actually Dave and I talked about this a couple of days ago, but like you don't want to face LeBron and Luca in a postseason series. Like this is the crux of facing the Lakers in the postseason. You just don't want to face those two guys with the basketball acumen and basketball IQ that they have. But obviously the center rotation is going to be a big part of that, too.

And you just mentioned the Alex Len situation. Jackson Hayes getting hurt tonight. Christian Coloco. That's their center rotation. Like that's who they have at this point. Is there anything else that they could go to? Will they explore the buyout market elsewhere to see if they can improve on that front? And also, given their roster, you just mentioned Dorian Finney-Smith.

There's also Jared Vanderbilt, who they can play in more of a small ball lineup. Will they just lean smaller and just play smaller and play that kind of defensive switch one through five type of lineup like they did through this winning stretch?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I think the first and foremost, they have to get a better starting setter than Jackson Hayes. So I think that's going to be the key thing to monitor here ahead of the February 6th trade deadline, because we'll get into the on-court dynamics with Luka and LeBron. But ultimately, looking at the current roster as it is composed, they already needed a backup center upgrade.

Then they traded Anthony Davis there. their starting center and the only player on this roster that could protect the rim and was a good defensive rebounder. So I look at rim protection and defensive rebounding and just defense in general as a bit of a concern for this group.
