| These two games, this weekend, will tell me what I need to know. I cannot wait and I'm pretty sure Mil and LAC feel the same way. That being said, it's time to go to work... |

Not wise -- use the trap/hedge at all cost defense al la Miami Heat so he gives up the ball |

The Heat gave us the blueprint to hold Gjannis and beat Milwaukee. Their defense held Antetokounmpo to 13 points.

I feel like if we lose this game, then there's like zero chance we would win the championship this year. We really need this one to prove that we are capable. This game should be indicative of what to expect in the playoffs as the playoffs are only a month away so there's not much time left to make any major changes. Need everyone to show up. Lets go Lakers!

all he can do is force him to make 3s like the last game, if he makes it, then he makes it. |

I’m guessing there gonna want him to go through practice first before playing him in a game so I think he plays on Sunday. |

Yeah but they probably want Waiters to go through practice drills with the team before they put him in the game, maybe I’m wrong and he plays. |

He's a SG. If he can spot up and let it fly he won't need a lot of adjustment time. His career average is 14 pts. I don't know if he can create his own shot.

Per McTen
Dion Waiters will participate in pregame shooting drills at Staples Center tonight but there’s no plan to play him against the Bucks, sources tell ESPN. The Lakers intend to take their time with Waiters’ integration so he can get up to speed.

Vogel gave the Heat the Blueprint during the All-Star game. And some other team gave Vogel the blueprint before that. Probably the Heat. 😆

Yep. Also can drive and kick for others although that's rarer.
Excited to see him play actually  |

| Pretty anxious for this game to go well since the Clippers are on a crazy tear. While playoffs are Lebron's domain, I need to see some team success in these big games. |

When we played the Clippers on Christmas day we got up by 15 points and let it all slip away in the 4th quarter. The real question is if we get up for a team that is better than we are and sustain the effort for 4 quarters. In our first match-up with the Bucks we didn't play well and they played extremely well.
Since we have home court advantage we should be able to get a little energy from the crowd and then if play well on both ends of the floor and finish it off in the 4th quarter we will get the "W".
Obviously this is a huge game but also a statement game for us. We need this game much more than they do.
I can't wait. |

Good to know. I don't know Waiters. I hope he is what you say he is.
