Through a quarter of the season, the Suns and the Warriors have differentiated themselves as the class of the Western Conference and, really, as two of the best teams in the entire NBA. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss what stands out to them about what those teams are doing, in what areas the Lakers currently lag behind them and how they can close that gap. Later, the guys discuss where the Lakers might have some advantages over those teams -- particularly in a playoff setting -- and whether the Lakers current structure and roster are well equipped enough to actually challenge both teams down the road.  Visit https://www.tickpick.com/lfr/ to save $10 on your first order of tickets.
