Summary

The Lakers' season won't literally end if the Lakers lose Game 5 of the opening round series against the Suns, but with a 3-2 deficit and Anthony Davis' status still perhaps uncertain, their lives will be made considerably more difficult. Given the increasing likelihood that AD will be out with a strained groin, the expectation is that LeBron James will have one of his classic nuclear playoff performances to carry the day. What are the approaches and lineups to best allow that to happen? Does it require a role for Talen-Horton Tucker? Marc Gasol starting ahead of Andre Drummond? Just someone who can make multiple three-pointers in the same game? The Kamenetzkys each name a player that absolutely has to step up. Also, Brian offers a theory about why Davis' absence could create a potential advantage. Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron has a history of coming up big in critical moments, and this Game 5 is as big as its been for L.A. this season. Is he still capable of making history at age 36 while closely removed from a high ankle sprain, and how best can Frank Vogel help LeBron with this goal? SEGMENT 2: With AD out, should Vogel move Gasol into the starting lineup for the sake of creating better offense? In the moments where LeBron and Gasol aren't on the floor, could THT emerge a reliable play-maker? SEGMENT 3: Andy and Brian suggest Dennis Schröder and Kyle Kuzma respectively as supporting cast members that simply must have big games in order to pull off an upset win. Plus, Brian's theory about missing AD could actually create an advantage for the Lakers. (Warning: It may not convince you.) Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
