How do the Lakers bounce back from Game 1 loss?

A little less than 24 hours removed from the Los Angeles Lakers 100-93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, the shock hasn’t worn off. As is the case with any playoff game, there were plenty of takeaways, most negative, from the defeat. Jacob and Anthony dive into the game and look to see where things went wrong for the Lakers aside from the obvious in their poor shooting. The team is due for a progression to the mean after a string of poor shooting performances in the bubble, but will that come before the team exits the playoffs? After missing open three-pointers as well as putbacks, do the Lakers need to change their offense or is it simply a matter of making the shots they’re taking? With JaVale McGee continuing to struggle, it also may be time to change the team’s starting lineup. Jacob and Anthony look at the possibilities with the rotation moving forward, ranging from starting lineup changes that include benching JaVale McGee to whether Dion Waiters should see more minutes. And with Rajon Rondo expected to return as soon as Game 2 in the series, where does he factor into the rotation? Learn more about your ad choices.
