Summary

The Lakers disappointed in their opening night loss to the Golden State Warriors, but for some fans another disappointment came with a starting lineup that included DeAndre Jordan starting at center, as opposed to one featuring Anthony Davis at the five. It wasn't exactly a surprise, given the team's current injury woes that have thinned out the rotation and will limit coach Frank Vogel's options, but is it the start of a trend that might last the season? And if Jordan starts, does it matter that much assuming Davis plays the bulk of his minutes as a center? On Tuesday, it was over 50% of his floor time. Is that enough? Should we expect that percentage to grow over time, when Vogel has more choices at his disposal? What's the right figure? Meanwhile, the Lakers gave unexpected floor time to Avery Bradley, mostly because the team's defense was so porous along the perimeter. The CW when the Lakers signed Bradley was that his presence is likely temporary, holding down the fort until reinforcements heal up. Is the CW a little shaky? And what about Westbrook? What might get him feeling more comfortable with LeBron James and Davis going forward? A listener reacting to Tuesday's loss had an interesting proposal about Westbrook's fourth quarter playing time. Is he on the right track? Finally, the Lakers play two of the more intriguing Western Conference teams this weekend in Phoenix (Friday) and Memphis (Sunday). What makes these teams so interesting? How good could they be? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! SweatBlock Get it today for 20% off at SweatBlock.com with promo code LockedOn, or at Amazon and CVS.
