Backwards & Forwards
from Laker Film Room - Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball · host Pete Zayas
The Lakers road trip closed with two close losses over the weekend, both without LeBron James who continues to deal with swelling in his knee. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss how missing LeBron impacted the games and how the loss to the Hawks highlighted the team's depth issues at forward, particularly on defense. Later the guys debate how much a better back end of the roster could help the Lakers tread water and how damaging it's been to not have additional frontcourt depth with LeBron and Anthony Davis missing so much time.
