Like when they lost to Chicago on the half-court shot from Josh Giddey, the play right before that with Luka and LeBron on the court, they got the ball to Austin Reeves and somehow Chicago gave up a layup at the rim. Then Giddey hit the half-court shot to win it. I think Austin Reeves, depending on how well he plays, can go a long way to determine it.

But I still think the Lakers, because of LeBron and because of Luka Doncic.

How do you feel about that? That'll be interesting because if you look at the statistics from Julius Rainer, he never played in a playoff game until he came to the Knicks. And he really struggled. Now, they did win a playoff series with him. That would have been the Cleveland series a couple of years ago.

Yeah, well, most of the national media is picking the Lakers because they're all afraid of LeBron, so they don't want to face that wrath of him. I like how you said you spent 15 minutes talking about Julius Randle. That's you with the ocean in the background. Everything is peaceful. How many minutes do you think they spent on Julius Randle in New York when he was disappearing in the playoffs?

He was getting crushed. But you know what? He has said the right things. He sounds pretty motivated, and it took a while. for it to kind of work there in Minnesota. But Chris Finch is a good coach. And that's the other thing, like, you know, we are talking about, and I think J.J. Redick had a terrific season.

Here's like a rookie head coach going into his first playoff series against a guy who coached a team that came back from 20 down in a game seven against Denver last year, for crying out loud. Chris Finch is pretty good at what he does. But I think J.J. Redick has proved himself.

The thing that I worry about the most is just, I just think the Lakers with LeBron, you know, LeBron knows how to work it and he knows how to make plays on both ends of the court when it matters. I just think they're going to work the refs like it's nobody's business. I know they complain that they don't get enough free throws. Give me a break.
