As a matter of fact, both the Warriors and Bucks, were playing on the second night of back-to-back games, to say nothing of the weary Warriors also playing the last game of a seven-game road trip.

Lakers Head Coach has bought into the less actually equals more approach in regards to Kobe Bryant’s playing time in addition to the young players playing extended minutes and closing out games. D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle will continue to come off the bench, unless Jordan Clarkson’s ankle keeps him on the bench. Julius Randle has struggled coming off the bench, hopefully Randle will realize that he is being scouted and must alter his approach and set up in the painted area, being left-handed attack more going to his right and not settle for jumpshots. The Bucks size, length and athleticism will present a problem for the Lakers. Offensively, the Lakers need a solid performance moving, passing and cutting to make the Bucks defense work as well as find the open shot. Defensively, the purple and gold must get back in transition, stop the ball, do a solid job against the pick-and-roll play, surround Greg Monroe and make him play in a crowd, quickly rotate out to open shooters, limit the Bucks to one shot per possession, box their men out and
The Lakers also signed free-agent Shaquille O’Neal from the Orlando Magic. Shaquille O’Neal lead the Lakers to a record of 56-26, averaging 26.2 ppg and 12.5 rpg.

The series is currently tied at 2-all and with the Clippers two main man out of the series; the questions remain unanswered if the Steve Ballmer-owned basketball organization can cope up with the lost of All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in their lineup.
From the Bucks perspective, they would unload the mess that is Greg Monroe and get the opportunity to play an “ultra athletic lineup”, Giannis
First on the Lakers' list will be Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics whom they will face on November 8, while the road game against the Phoenix Suns on November 13 will cap off the four-game road trip.

Byron Scott is the current head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. His record as an NBA coach is actually 453-644. With that in mind, I would first see who are potential coaching candidates that would be a better fit for the Los Angeles Lakers. It did not take me long to find my answer, they need to hire Luke Walton as the head coach. Luke Walton is the son of past star, Bill Walton. Luke Walton actually played for the Los Angeles Lakers for a while in his playing career. He is currently the assistant coach to Steve Kerr for the Golden State Warriors. Luke Walton is arguably one of the best assistant coaches in the league right now so it makes sense for the Lakers to try and convince him to come coach for them. If Luke Walton is willing to take the job, I would immediately fire Byron Scott and give Luke Walton to take control as the head coach of the Los Angeles
As the NBA regular season comes to an end, it’s time for teams to prove themselves and show that they are playoff-worthy. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the best record in the NBA Eastern Conference, were recently dethroned by the Boston Celtics. Soon after the Celtics took the number 1 spot in the east, the defending champions came back with multiple wins to tie the Celtics record of 50 wins and 27 losses, then beating them to put them at 50 and 28.
The Lakers vs. Celtics rivalry is arguably the greatest rivalry in the NBA because of how long it’s been going on for. There has been a ridiculous amount of resurgences in this rivalry, beginning in the 1959s when these two teams met for the first time in the playoffs. Facing each other in the finals almost every year of the 1960s, the rivalry was brought back again in the 1980s with the personal feud between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
After going 44-38 during the regular season and placing fifth in the Western Conference, they faced the Los Angeles Clippers, led by Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.

For as long as I can remember, I have felt a strong desire to express myself creatively. As a naturally observant and imaginative person, I never doubted that I would find my passion in life through art. Filled with a need to share my perspective of the surrounding world, I tried out many different art forms in search of one that truly connected with me. I probably should have realized early on that photography would be in my future, after all, my father was a professional photographer and Art Center graduate. I vividly remember as a young child spending countless days hanging out in his studio after school, watching him set up his shots and chatting with clients.
BARK! BARK! Is all I heard in the animal shelter when I was getting my first dog. Has your parent ever told you that you can get a dog if so then you know how I felt when my mom told me I could get a puppy.
