Summary

The Lakers open their playoffs in Memphis with game 1 this Sunday. In part one of their playoff preview, Pete, Mike, and Darius do more of a "self scout" to examine the team on both sides of the ball as they head into this series. Whether it's LeBron's defense in the non-Anthony Davis minutes, the importance of D'Angelo Russell's play and limiting turnovers on offense, or how much the time off before the series matters, the guys break down their initial thoughts on the team and their keys to what is important from the Lakers perspective before the series starts.

And I'd also like to take this moment to point out that C.J. McCollum is owed almost $100 million over the next three years. And Austin Reeves is better than every single first round pick they got out of that trade. Anything you gentlemen would like to add before we move on. Oh, man. We're starting out well. I just looked down. I saw like a text on my phone

and then I just, I was like, whoa, piece, uh, piece coming out strong today. Playoff.

especially appreciate the idea that, first of all, I hope Zion comes back healthy. Like,

1:18.3

of course. All of the ups and downs that Willie Green spoke to, like after their game and the

1:24.1

challenges that they faced, the Lakers are very familiar with those types of challenges as well.
