Lakers Vs. Kings Preview: Can Anthony Da...

LOCKED ON PODCAST NETWORK, ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY
About this episode

The Lakers have struggled with the Kings for a while now, and a big part of that is the success Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis has had against Anthony Davis. 

Why has Sabonis (who certainly has success against... most everyone) fared so well against A.D.? Why have the Kings fared so well against the Lakers, generally? How can the Lakers turn it around tonight in Sacramento, a huge game for LA in their effort o move out of the ninth spot in the Western Conference? To talk about all of that and more, we're joined by Matt George, host of Locked On Kings and an anchor at KXTV ABC10 in Sacramento. 

George has some suggestions for the Lakers in tonight's game and explains why he still thinks the Lakers would be a nightmare matchup for the Kings in the postseason, even in a single-elimination Play-In game held up north. 

In many ways, the Kings and Lakers have had similar paths this year. Both vaguely disappointing (or maybe not so vaguely...) but way too good to write off. There's still the potential there for good things to happen, especially with the right matchup in the playoffs. Or at least that's the perception around the Lakers. Does the same hold true for Sacramento? What are the matchups in the Western Conference that could make seeding effectively an afterthought? 

It's a great conversation about Pacific Division and Western Conference hoops with one of the best hosts on the network. 

 

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky 


SEGMENT 1: Why have the Kings had their way with LA of late? 

 

SEGMENT 2: What can the Lakers do differently to attack the Kings? What's the recipe for success against Sacramento this season?
