    LeBron on one day of rest? The flopping is going to be at an all-time high. Shooting free throws is easer on the body than having to hit regular shots or make layups. On-court rest time.

    Just keep moving the ball and moving your feet.

    Please don't get into that iso mode where we just end up with Sengun and Amen taking turns with middies. In the playoffs, Sengun is shooting just 35% IN THE PAINT (minus restricted area) and 0% on middies outside the paint. Amen is shooting just 40% (in the paint) and 44% on middies outside the paint. This is a dream for the Lakers, we can't give it to them so easily. We have to fight for the higher quality shots: drives, 3's and kick outs. I need a combined 12+ assists and 12+ FT's from our dynamic duo.

    Lebron, Reaves, Smart and Kennard are running out of gas a little bit - but don't over value this. Pressure them like crazy when they have the ball, attack them in transition often. Wear them out slowly.

    Finally, please just assume the refs will make bad calls. Don't whine. Coaches will yell at the refs plenty. Just keep your focus on the next play.

    BELIEVE!!! Let's win Game 6 and force Game 7! I'm very proud of the young core on how they've bounced back when it looked like the house was burning.

    Don't talk about a game 7.

    Don't assume we're going to win this game because it's in Houston.

    Play your (our?) asses off and force a game 7.

    Gonna be sweet when these young dudes become the first team ever to come back from 0-3 to win and do it without KD. Building that chemistry and confidence for the future.

    Go Rox!
