Let’s Summarize Game 1: That. Was. Awwwwkward.

After an offseason filled with a lot of hype, and with the Staples Center finally filled back to full capacity, the Lakers came out flat and failed to play as a team. LeBron & AD did the damn thing, but the rest of the Lakers were clearly searching for their role—something that no one should expect to be fixed overnight. Critics of this team had a field day with what we saw—a team desperately searching for how to play together with obvious issues centered around fit and 3-point shooting. The good news? It’s been just one game. Take a deep breath. The better news? The NBA is back, baby! Ethan takes you on a solo ride to discuss what he liked and didn’t like from the Lakers’ debut, and general NBA notes as the season gets started!
