Kavon Looney and Draymond and whoever was the non-threat as a roller or as a score that you wanted to involve in the action. And it didn't matter. They would just run decoy actions to get Luka switched on to someone else, and then they would bring that guy into the fray.

So the Lakers, I think, are going to have to figure that out because Steph is not the only Apex superstar in the West that they're going to face that's going to try to target Luka. So they're going to have to come up with a better defensive strategy than just switching everything.

Because as we saw, when you switch everything, you can pick your matchups and golden state, what was picking on Luca tonight.

It's going to be interesting to see how that breaks down because in recent games, AR, Austin has been their best closer and their best shot creator. And they've run a lot of Austin LeBron two-man game. And that's a little bit easier for them to get into rather than LeBron Luka, just because with LeBron and Luka, it's typically like-sized defenders. So they're just going to switch that.

But with Austin and LeBron, it's often not like-sized defenders. So they have a decision to make of they could either try to trap and then you got the short role playmaking and the four on three advantage, or they can't switch that. Then either LeBron has a smaller defender on him. And Austin has a bigger, slower defender on him.

So the Austin-LeBron two-man game has been more of their bread and butter in late-game situations outside of just Luka being Luka. So I think they're still figuring out that balance. But in terms of when the ball is in one of those three players' hands, the guy that they've actually looked the best with recently... has been Austin in these late-game situations. We saw it in the Chicago game.

We saw it in various points of the Indiana game. So, of course, he is third in the pecking order, so I want to be clear with that. But LeBron and Luka, I think, if anything, you could look for ways to play those guys off of him rather than vice versa. But the one thing, though, is if someone is going to be off the ball – I think LeBron's actually the best catch-and-shoot guy among these three.

So because of LeBron's versatility, I think he's going to have the ball in his hands the least among the three. But he also is the guy who can create advantages in the post just with his size and his strength. So they're still figuring out this crunch time offense and what it's going to look like.
