The Lakers are Up 2-1 Against the Grizzlies, But Should Darvin Ham Tweak the Rotation, Anyway?

The Lakers go into Monday's game at the Crypt with a 2-1 lead in their first round series against the Memphis Grizzlies. A win doesn't guarantee a trip to the second round, but it sure puts a hammer lock on things for L.A.. Dillon Brooks will not be suspended for tonight's game, after being chucked from Saturday's game for hitting LeBron James in the King's jewels. So is that good or bad for the Lakers? Given how poorly he's played in the series, are the Lakers better off with him in the lineup? What about adjustments? Ja Morant went for 45 in Game 3. Should the Lakers change the way they defend him? Broadly, are there bigger adjustments the Lakers need to make, whether defensively or on the other end? The Lakers have, to this point, limited Memphis to the lowest field goal percentage of any team in the postseason. So maybe it's a matter of keep on doing what's working? On the other end, the offense isn't exactly clicking. Is that a matter of missing shots that are available? Or ought the Lakers consider some personnel changes in the rotation? Maybe sit Malik Beasley in favor of Lonnie Walker IV? Does Wenyen Gabriel deserve a little run? The Lakers have some choices to make. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Dillon Brooks will play in Game 4, and that could be a very good thing for LA. SEGMENT 2: Do the Lakers need to change their coverages on Ja Morant? SEGMENT 3: Is it time to pull Malik Beasley from the playoff rotation? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
