It's the Lockdown Podcast podcast. I'm Anthony Erwin. I'm joined by Pete Zayas Pete. As one would imagine,

NBA Twitter is taking last night's win really, really well.

was that I felt that people were overthinking it, right?

that Anthony Davis reminded everybody,

hey, let's not overthink this final series, right?

Yeah.

And like that I think is different from the, I think at the time valid criticisms of the way that the

because he was playing behind Tyler Ennis.
