He is Jalen Rose. I am David Jacoby. We are Jalind Jacoby. What is it that we do, Jay. We give the people what they want.

Devin Booker and the Sun stay undefeated in Orlando and the Raptors sent a bit of a message to the Bucks, but we start where last night ended in the bubble. And that is with the Lakers against the Nuggets. The Lakers look good. They got contributions from LeBron and from

A.D. and from their role players, including a last second bucket from Kyle Kuzma. Jalen,

how do you feel about the Lakers after last night? I feel a lot better about the fact that

Kyle Kuzma was really productive, Jacoby.

And for me, it's not only about the stat sheet and the points and the game winning shots.

It's how he was moving during the game.

He was cutting.

He was slashing.

He was getting energy plays.

He was getting fast break dunks.

And then that allows you to work yourself into the game

is somebody that isn't a knockdown shooter to now have the confidence that they're going to

draw up a play for you to take the final shot and you have the ability to knock it down. That's what

they're going to need. They're going to need him to play like a 20 plus point score on a nightly

basis to give him that offensive punch. I really feel like the Lakers are going to win the championship

because we know what we're going to get from LeBron. We know what we're going to get from AD. And I feel

like these eight seating games have really been about establishing who's going to finish the games and who's going to

show up in the playoffs.

And I feel like last night, I'm not going to overreact to it, but Kyle Kuzma took a big

step forward.

And they drew up that play for Kyle Kuzma.
