    the lakers have never ever ever won a championship after losing FIVE games in a row, now on top of that i dont think theyve ever beat us when we dominate them in the regular season right?. i think its definitely worth going full force at this team.
    I'm pretty sure we won the season series in 2001 and got ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED by the Lakers in the WCF. Although DA was out for the first two games and gave us nothing for the series we still got hammered.

    Even if I am incorrect on the 2001 season series, regular season doesn't really mean that much.

    We have everything to gain and nothing to lose by limiting the big 3.

    The earliest we would play the Lakers is in the WCF. The momentum at that point will be determined by the previous two series.

    Its not like we are a young, mentally weak squad.

    If we sit the starters we get the second unit more time to gel which helps and if they pull it out and win then it demoralizes the Lakers.

    And if we lose? Who cares?

    Very little downside and a significant upside.

    The sane person would say getting Tiago minutes vs Bynum and or Gasol could give you an idea of how he might do but we know that point is moot....

    its a battle of the stats. the lakers went 17-1. when they have done that its been guaranteed nba finals appearances. losing 5 in a row means no appearance. basically its back to trivia stats meaning little.
