Summary

If Wednesday's happenings against the Pacers at the Crypt weren't enough for you -- a big, embarrassing loss for the Lakers to a slumping Indiana team with Russell Westbrook being benched in the fourth quarter and Frank Vogel explaining why with a pretty undiplomatic single sentence followed by a report after the game from Yahoo!'s Chris Haynes that Vogel's job was safe at least for one more game -- the drama only heightened later in the evening. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that Vogel and the coaches staff had sign off from the front office to play Westbrook as they saw fit. That includes benching him if need be. How will Westbrook react to that news? What is up with all this leaking? How exactly do the Lakers try to get things back to "normal?" Is there even a normal at this point to get to? What does all of this say about Frank Vogel? Not just about his job security, but the guy himself? Because it's not the first time Vogel has made a bold move that would raise eyebrows and potentially tick off a star. Was this move, and were his comments after, still a shot at the front office, even if the front office in theory signed off on using Westbrook how Vogel sees fit? What does all of this do for the Westbrook/Vogel relationship? How do they go forward? At least they have a long flight to figure it out. Are the Lakers asking Westbrook to change into something he isn't? How capable of change is Westbrook, to begin with? How easy is change, for incredibly successful people, anyway? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The drama builds even more following Wednesday's loss and the longest road trip of the season. SEGMENT 2: What does all of this do for the relationship going forward? You can't unring the bell, so what happens now? SEGMENT 3: How much change is Westbrook capable of? How much has he made to this point? Plus, what did LeBron and Melo say about Vogel on Wednesday? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
