Description

The Lakers opened their playoffs with a 99-90 loss in Game 1 to the Phoenix Suns in the desert. In ways that were predictable (poor offensive flow and outside shooting) and out of character (bad transition D, rebounding), the Lakers' performance was extremely disappointing. From top to nearly bottom (Alex Caruso performed well on balance), everyone needs to step up more in Game 2. But nobody more so than Anthony Davis, whose sluggish outing had fans complaining online about him... but even more about Andre Drummond. What was the cause behind AD's lackluster showing? And was this Game 1 loss different than Game 1 losses in the first two rounds of the 2020 playoffs?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Kamenetzkys react to the game. What was bad that felt like specific to this game, and what felt like a continuation of season-long issues? And how blatantly would LeBron James have needed to violate the NBA's Covid protocols to have actually been suspended?SEGMENT 2: What is (and isn't) the correlation between Drummond's presence on the floor and Davis' ineffectiveness? How much is the byproduct of Davis not playing the five and how much is the byproduct of his own decisions on the floor?SEGMENT 3: The Lakers dropped Game 1's against Portland and Houston during last season, then proceeded to win the next four games of both series. Did this loss feel reminiscent of those?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
