Holy ****, that was fun! The NBA got exactly what it hoped for Wednesday in the battle of LeBron James and Steph Curry. It was tight down the stretch, with stars hitting huge shots and generally helping the game meet the hype. But in the end, the Lakers won out and will advance as the Western Conference's 7-seed, facing the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. On the agenda for Thursday's show... HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Reaction to the win. What went wrong in the first half? What did they fix in the second? How was that game everything that gives Lakers fans hope and simultaneously scares the heck out of them, wrapped neatly into 48 minutes? SEGMENT 2: The Lakers went small in the second half, playing Andre Drummond only seven minutes and sitting Montrezl Harrell entirely. (Marc Gasol never took off his warmups.) Is this a sign of what's to come? Was Drummond really the issue? How much center can Davis play? SEGMENT 3: The Lakers need their stars to be excellent, as they were last season and in the second half on Wednesday. But they also need help from the supporting cast, and Wednesday that help came from Alex Caruso, Wes Matthews, and Kyle Kuzma. Kuz, for what it's worth, is a sneaky good bet to have a very influential postseason for the Lakers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
