Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in Trevor Lane here for Lakersnation.com. You're home for everything Lakers. This is the Lakersnation.com podcast. We got a lot to talk about today. I'm going to jump through some fan questions and comments that will naturally put me into a lot of different discussion topics as we go through the show.

We would appreciate it. Great and very easy way to help out the show.

All right. So a lot to talk about, but with game two tonight, the Lakers have been

using the phrase throughout the season saying, we need to be greedy. Let's get greedy, right? And I think

they're accurate with that. Now, me personally, I go back to that old movie Wall Street, right?

Greed is good, Gordon Gecko, all of that kind of stuff. And in general, we think of greed in a negative sense, right?

I mean, it's one of the deadly sins, right?

So in this case, though, I think the Lakers just need to be of the mindset of not being satisfied.

That's really the way I take this whole greed mindset for the Lakers.

It's, yes, you went in and you already got the

split in Memphis. Worst case scenario, you got the split in Memphis. You won game one. Even if the

Grizzlies win game two, you got the split. And that's what you were looking to do going in,

was to at least get the split going into Memphis. But now because you got game one, and let's face it, most people didn't think the Lakers would get game one. I mean, after all, the Lakers were a four and a half to five point underdog going into this game. And typically, with a raucous crowd like that in Memphis, the home team is going to have a pretty big advantage,

and we typically see that team win.

But the Lakers manage to get the job done.

They get the win in game one.

Now they've got before them an opportunity,

an opportunity to really put a stranglehold on this series

because going up 2-0, that's a big deal.

Going up 2-0 on the road, winning 2 in Memphis, well, that would be massive.

And that doesn't mean it's going to be easy.
