Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakersnation.com podcast. It's game day. Lakers Nuggets,

game two. Really important. The Lakers bounce back from game one. Get a win in this one and then

you accomplish your goal. You get the split on the road. You steal home court advantage and you

head back to L.A. But not an easy task. This task this Nuggets team man if we learned anything

from game one it's that they are very very good and they are going to be a real opponent here for

the Lakers uh in the Western Conference finals not going to be easy to beat them in any particular game

uh join me today we've got Sean Davis from lakers nation dot com Sean game two coming up tonight

uh we I mean we'll dive into the specifics but think from Lakersnation.com. Sean, game two coming up tonight.

I mean, we'll dive into the specifics, but I think the Lakers get the win in this one?

I think so.

And I don't want to like divert and become pessimistic.

If the Lakers don't win tonight, the series not over.

So like, for example, the most recent case of this being true is Golden State goes down 02 to Sacramento going back home. You protect home court. You got a best of three coming out of that. So I do think the Lakers win game two, though, tonight. Yeah, if you get the, if you don't win game two, I think that puts the pressure on you to win both games at home in LA. You pretty much have to do that. And then you're in a best of three series from there with with three games left. But in any event, hopefully the Lakers can find a way to get the W in this one. Let's start here because we're going to talk a lot about tonight's game and what we expect to see what we hope to see from the Lakers, but let's start appropriately enough with the starters. I think Lakers fans will rightly lose their minds if Darwin dares to put out the starting lineup of DeAngelo Russell,

Austin Reeves, Dennis Schrooter with LeBron James and Anthony Davis,

the three guards.

I am assuming Darwin will not do that.

Who should start in game two?

Austin, LeBron, Ruby A.D.

And I have no clue who the hell of the other guard is.

I've heard arguments.

I think you can sway me either way. Like, they went Dennis. no clue who the hell of the other guard. I've heard arguments.

I think you can sway me either way.
