Laker Film Room - Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball

The Lakers have been playing more minutes without a traditional center, with impressive results against even some of the West’s best teams. The guys discuss the rationale behind these groups and why they are dominating the short stretches they’ve played, how they have to defend to make it viable, and why we might see it quite a bit against the team’s three likeliest playoff opponents.
