28th on Offense

PETE ZAYAS
About this episode

Without Anthony Davis (among others), the Lakers got blown out in Houston by the Rockets on Wednesday night. Pete and Darius discuss the loss, but also break down how the game highlights larger structural issues with the team's offense that are not necessarily just about injuries and who is or is not available to play.
