Lakers Whoop That Trick, Griddy on Grizzlies to…

“If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a Grizzly bear, HELP THE BEAR!”

The Lakers are heading to the second round on the cusp of a 40 (!) point win, and the only thing fans are still waiting for is Dillon Brooks to say something to the “media that made him a villain.”

D’Angelo Russell was sensational, Anthony Davis enjoyed his non-championship Lakers signature moment, and LeBron James reminded everyone that he is still very much that dude.

Ethan is back on a solo ride to wrap it up from Round 1, look ahead to Round 2, and to provide purposeful prose to give the Lakers — and their fans — their flowers.

Lakers In Drivers Seat After Game 1 Win?

The emotions have been digested, Anthony Davis does not have a career-ending injury, and the Lakers are suddenly appear to be in the driver’s seat following a Game 1 road win in Memphis.

Ahead of Game 2, Ethan and JC are back to discuss the rise of Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves indeed being HIM, and how these Lakers not needing LeBron’s name in the headline is the best thing possible for sustainable success.

The fellas also discuss D’Angelo Russell’s role, his pairing with Dennis Schroder, and possible lineup tweaks we could see during this playoff run. One thing is for sure: If the Lakers are going to keep winning, they have to be the tougher team on the court.

KnicksCast: Let ‘Em Know!!

Game one in the bag. Brunson is the hero you all needed once again. Donovan was as advertised and almost stole the game at the end. Great win but the Knicks have to be greedy in Game 2 as the Cavs will desperately try and salvage a split and possibly their season.
