The NBA just announced the many possible schedules for the rest of round one with a footnate

Lakers vs (Portland or Houston) will be on Monday, May 4.

no times yet - my guess is it'd be 7:30pm

This long layoff might hurt us for a half or so, but it is absolutely huge the rest of the series and playoffs.

That's good. It will allow players like D-Fish to get their legs back.

Would've liked to see the game earlier; feels weird not having any Lakers games to watch for a week. Still playing 5 games every other day probably takes a toll so don't mind the players getting some much needed rest. Still a long way to go and we need everyone rested and ready to go for the next round.

Emplay is it a sure thing for Monday? If Houston closes out tomorrow wouldn't the Lakers Play Sunday? Thanks
