Another great job by Gerald as the podcaster extraordinaire. While I love the humor and banter when we have Sean and Jamie on the podcasts, it’s also fun to go back and forth with Gerald, who’s always prepared and ready like a true professional.
To me, this game highlighted why we traded for Russell Westbrook: to win the non-LeBron minutes that have been our Achilles Heel the past three seasons.
There’s no reason why AD and Russ can’t dominate the 12 minutes of every game when LeBron rests the way they did tonight against an inspired Spurs team. The key to winning the non-LeBron minutes is Russell Westbrook doing his thing and unleashing Anthony Davis at the rim via lobs and put backs after Russ forced the Spurs big to guard him.
This is a big Freakin’ deal and we’re going to see it dramatically change how well the Lakers play going forward. We have never been able before to win the minutes when LeBron is on the bench. Now that’s going to change.
