About this episode

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the Los Angeles Lakers’ dominant defensive performance in Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers, and explains why LeBron James’ leadership was one of the biggest reasons for the turnaround, why LA will need Anthony Davis to keep up his high-level of play if they plan on making a run at the Finals, and why Damian Lillard’s finger injury could loom large moving forward. Later, Producer Rob jumps into to tell us why both the Lakers and the Clippers should have a healthy fear of James Harden and the Rockets now that Houston has suddenly discovered their defensive mojo. And, Jason does a deep dive into the results of the NBA Draft Lottery, and tells us why he envisions the draft’s biggest star – LaMelo Ball – slipping a few spots down the board on draft night.
