Summary

The Lakers split a pair of games over the weekend, beating the Magic on Friday while losing to the Heat on Sunday. In both games, however, a consistent theme was the struggles of the current starting lineup. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss this new group of starters, their status as a placeholder group until Anthony Davis returns, and why Trevor Ariza's struggles stand out as worth monitoring in both the short and the long term. Later, the guys dive deeper into Ariza's game and wonder how long he should remain a starter with Stanley Johnson waiting in the wings.

news that 80's return is imminent. We're going to do a whole pot on that tomorrow. That's a whole

topic in and of itself. Today's show is going to be a bit of a precursor to that. Prior to the

Orlando game, Frank Vogel said that they were looking to establish

lineup continuity with AD's return coming up.

the starting lineup.

Now, you can't do that perfectly, obviously, because AD's a 35 minute per game player and Dwight isn't. But I think
