Summary
As the Lakers vs. Rockets series shifts back to Houston, Pete and Darius discuss what adjustments they think the Rockets will try to make after falling behind 2-0. The guys dive into how Houston can try to handle the Lakers traps on Kevin Durant, the two man game he has with Alperen Şengün, where Amen Thompson can attack from, what to do with Reed Sheppard’s minutes, and much more.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.5 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |

| 1:06.1 | I think there's a couple of different ideas. First is the noisiest thing coming out of game two. Managing |
| 1:15.5 | the Lakers defensive pressure, particularly on Durant, and how to best create offense |
