Summary

Coming off a great road trip where the Lakers went 5-1, Pete and Darius discuss the current state of the team, how they’ve already surpassed preseason projections for their season long win total, why the team isn’t discussed through the lens of a group exceeding expectations, and how this has manifested in the awards race for not only this season, but for many other Lakers teams in recent history.

And last night, the Lakers closed out a successful five-and-one road trip with a, I think, ended up being a seven-point win over the Indiana Pacers D. They got up big early and cruised to the finish line. And when I say that, I don't mean as though it were easy.
