Summary

The Lakers will do battle in the play-in game for the seven seed on Wednesday night against a hot Golden State Warriors and an even hotter Steph Curry. For a deep dive into the matchup, the Kamenetzkys spoke with Sam Esfandiari and Andy Liu from the Light Years podcast. How did the Warriors, who largely struggled during the first half of the season, reach playoff viability? Are they just Steph and his helpers, or more of a legit team? Who are the players beyond Steph and Draymond Green who matter most? Can Andrew Wiggins be counted on? Can the Warriors dictate style? How should the Lakers scheme against this foe? How should we regard this latest chapter of what's been a fantastic rivalry between Steph and LeBron James, two of the most influential players in league history? All this and more!!! Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Sam and Andy explain how the Warriors got their season back on track, the degree to which they're a one-man band, and the ways teams have, relatively speaking, slowed Steph. SEGMENT 2: Who are the key role players that must step up for the Warriors to pull an upset? Is this largely inexperienced roster ready for a high intensity moment? SEGMENT 3: LeBron recently declared Steph this season's MVP, a departure from what's often felt like a mutual but frosty respect. Was this psychological warfare on LeBron's part, sincere praise, or both? Either way, relish matchups like these, because they don't happen as often as fans would like.
