Summary
Luka’s masterful play at Eurobasket is a reminder of how he warps a defense by exploiting mismatches. The guys discuss how the Lakers mastering what to do next off of common Luka attacks is crucial to the goal of building an elite offense, LeBron on the weak side vs 2-man potential on the strong side with Luka, why DFS will be missed in this area, and more.
