Locked On: Lakers

Jun 2, 2021
38 minutes

Heading into Game 5, the Lakers were hoping Anthony Davis would play, but that if Davis couldn't go, LeBron James would produce another legendary playoff performances. It would be perfectly complemented by several supporting players stepping up, and the Lakers would steal a win in Phoenix. In a nutshell, none of that happened. On both sides of the ball, the Lakers were completely out of sorts, and appeared increasingly (and very uncharacteristically) unconfident. What went wrong, and why? What can the Lakers do to fix things, particularly if AD can't play? (For starters, maybe Dennis Schröder scores more than zero points?) Is LeBron losing patience with the missed shots? - - Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky - - SEGMENT 1: Holy hell, what a disaster! The Kamenetzkys were surprised by how badly things went, both on the court and with the team's overall mentality. - - SEGMENT 2: More on the Lakers' team-wide lacking confidence. On Twitter, a lot of fans told the Kamenetzkys that the front office should have run back the 2020 title team. The frustration is understandable, but it misses a larger point. - - SEGMENT 3: A lot of players didn't come through, but Schröder's goose egg night was especially problematic. In the meantime, LeBron's postgame comments expressed some fairly unfiltered frustration. - - Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! - Built Bar - Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
