and, you know, even though the lakers went small tonight to start the game, they sat dwight howard and that helped them open up the lead. when you look at dealing with anthony davis and jokic and now bam adebayo, it seemed like the rockets had the league trending. but you ain't winning anything without a big man. >> i think that one of the things that was very evident in tonight's game was the lack of rim protection. when they were able to get bam out on the perimeter, the lakers were able to drive to the paint, rondo who is very efficient, there was just a lack of rim protection. so, yes, you know, you need big men on offense, but you need them defensively as well to protect that rim and to provide some sort of presence down low. it is nice to have versatility and big men like bam adebayo and anthony davis who can handle the basketball, shoot on the perimeter, but they also have to be able to protect that rim down low. and you see the importance when you don't have that presence down low. >> how would you try to guard anthony davis? >> put draymond on him. >> i meant you. but that's p

they sat dwight howard who played some good minutes in the playoffs in particular in this series. >> coaching lebron can overshadow some of those tweaks and moves clearly. and it is easy for the armchair coaches which we're not. we're professional coaches as we like to say in the studio. not paid as well and don't have the pressure. but i thought frank did a great job. just don't screw it up. that's the easy thing to say. but there were some things he had to do, decisions he had to make. i don't think he did them alone. i think he was humble enough to embrace lebron. and clearly his experience in the finals, too. let's not take into too much account this was frank's first shot at it but not lebron's. i think he's smart enough to understand he'll embrace lebron's input and was able to raise seemingly tough decisions of lesser ability. i think frank put himself in a good position to keep with this team because as you said he was out the door the day that he got the job. everyone was already writing his ticket out. so i think for everyone that's dealt with that and then put the pressure

dwight eisenhower. it was september of 1955. he was in colorado and had a massive, i mean, a massive heart attack and, instead, his personal doctor, howard was indigestion and they kept that kind of myth going on for a long time. eisenhower was known as i like ike. eisenhower was the first president to open up medical record. but when a bad event happened, they went into a cover-up mode, sherman adams and upon the foster dulles and the rest. i think it's an instinct, when the president is sick, the team want to minimize it. in eisenhower's case in '55, he had to run for re-election in 1956. so the team wanted to make sure people don't think he's weak. donald trump with the election days away, i think you can get doctors, but if you are press to say anything, if they're your personal doctor or working in your sphere. so i think mark meadows was the one trying to shed some truth that the president is having a very, very hard time. this is all politics mixed with this and the debate october 15 secretary that day that donald trump has to be looking to emerge as the comeback kid, like a bill clinton type of comeback, kind of show up there and
