I had a nice thing about these six o'clock West Coast starts as we're home already by 10 30 ready to record on

another of these blowouts that seem absolutely inevitable when the home team loses game one.

Yes, and there are a couple of different reasons that that this happened in game two and what I'm going to wonder about until game three is

what of the shifts that we saw in a game that the Warriors won by 27 versus the

relatively close contest that we saw in game one on Tuesday is

what part of that was like the Lakers of game 1 vs game 2 having a rest advantage and the Warriors making more tactical

with the adjustments the Warriors made which would be sound familiar to listeners to this fair podcast because a lot of them are things you and I

and I want to talk about all of them. The one thing we didn't say was starting to Michael Green which worked out great. I'm gonna

Be a little more reductive here to start with and we'll get into all those tactical wrinkles. Don't worry

I know you tried to set me up for them, but I I wanted to just say what I thought the biggest deal was and the biggest deal was that

LeBron James and Anthony Davis didn't have the same level of defensive effort that they had in game one and that

This game was probably more set up for the game to home home what game one loser yo-yo effect than about any because

There's just this feeling that

LeBron and AD only have a certain amount of efforts in them. They got the game

They needed like we're stayed in it briefly early due to their shooting and then just got completely blown out of the gym and
