DENVER — Some questions for Phil Jackson to answer:
- Do the Lakers want or need to win a close game against Denver for that experience rather than rolling again? “I’d like to see us win early.”
- How much time off is ideal in the playoffs, as the Lakers could have a lot if they sweep Denver and Houston-Utah somehow goes to seven games? “Two days off is great; the third day, you’d like to play.”
- What’s the biggest deal about sweeping? “You just want to limit the number of times you go out there (on the court).”
