Game 1 of 1st vs 8th seed will be played tomorrow in Staples Centre in Downtown Los Angeles. Lakers stayed healthy and have youngsters Simmons, Larkin and Baynes in street clothes. They'll use a 12 man rotation, limiting minutes for all starters but PG Hill. Reggie Bullock joins Conley on the pine for Kings with knee injury which means increased role for veteran James Jones.

It looks like both teams will shoot straigth in game 1, no big surprises for now. Can the Kings usurp the home court advantage? This might be their biggest chance. Klemmelo eagerly watched as Spurs almost took down the heavily favored Nuggets, but finished just short with a meltdown in last minute. JJ Reddick was the key there, could Klay repeat that performance?

GM Greenmig is the big dog here, lazily watching how Kings shape their lineups and strategies to get an advantage in the game. Will he stick to his guns, play the best lineups and use the proven strategies? Or could an early upset lull him into a game of (un)necessary adjustments, where you either hit or miss?

Kings have the personnel and the fire power, maybe they just lack chemistry or some coaching know how? NLL is weird like that sometimes, you can have a superstar or two but never put it all together, or you rally behind Greens and Hills.
