King James will be in a buoyant mood after seeing his team make short work of the Trail Blazers and the Rockets. He hasn’t had to go even close to full throttle in either series.
He’s still averaging 25.5 points, 9.9 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game while playing a career-low 33 minutes per game. The presence of Anthony Davis in the squad has really lifted the burden off him.

On their off day today, the Lakers had some light practice at the Disney World bubble. There was no shortage of funny practice moments on display.

Dion Waiters has been cited as doubtful for Game 2 with a sore left groin. LeBron and Rondo, who’re both carrying their own niggles, are listed as probable.
