A good chat and I was sad to leave it but tubby time for Sydney was-a-calling.
One of the things we talked about last night and which is a great reason to listen to this podcast is how the Lakers defense and offense have adjusted to no Anthony Davis.
Defensively, the big change has been LeBron taking over as the Lakers middle linebacker, calling out coverages, playing the passing lanes, and blocking shots and making steals that have been igniting the Lakers fast break offense. This was the Bron we saw in the playoffs, giving the Lakers two DPOY quality leaders.
Offensively, the Lakers showed greatly improved ball and player movement. Rarely was the ball sticking in LeBron’s hands on the wing while everybody stood around. In fact, LeBron made it a point to give the ball to Dennis to start every possession and to run two man pick and rolls or pick and pops rather than 1-on-1 isolation plays. Best offensive movement we’ve seen all year.
Frank deserves some credit after all the justified criticism. Good to see him make the adjustments on both sides of the ball. Test will be to repeat this adjustments against the Suns tomorrow night to put to rest any concerns about the Lakers. It just could be that AD going down might end up being a plus for the Lakers. There’s always silver linings to take advantage of.
Give us a listen and a five star review. Thanks.
