So I think Golden State, like this is our first time seeing Luka versus the Warriors with the Lakers and Jimmy versus the Lakers with the Warriors and certainly some concerns on the Lakers side.
Yeah, I would say that outside of the first couple games when he was still just feeling out the group, this was his worst game as a Laker after the game. We just spoke with him and he said his performance was unacceptable and he took blame and ownership for... his performance tonight and just said that he has to be better.

And then he felt like he let his teammates down tonight, the way that he played and especially offensively that, that, you know, he should have been better. So I think it was a combination of golden States size and athleticism on the perimeter. And like, I thought they tried to target Quentin post at the various points, Luca Austin and LeBron and Austin had some success against him, but like,

They were basically like not able to get by him. And I think that was a bit concerning. And then defensively, I actually think people are going to look at the point total and the six or 17 shooting. I think defensively, what was more concerning for Luca tonight, where he was just relentlessly targeted by Steph and by the Warriors offense. And the Lakers started to try to hide him on.

Kavon Looney and Draymond and whoever was the non-threat as a roller or as a score that you wanted to involve in the action. And it didn't matter. They would just run decoy actions to get Luka switched on to someone else, and then they would bring that guy into the fray.

So the Lakers, I think, are going to have to figure that out because Steph is not the only Apex superstar in the West that they're going to face that's going to try to target Luka. So they're going to have to come up with a better defensive strategy than just switching everything.

Because as we saw, when you switch everything, you can pick your matchups and golden state, what was picking on Luca tonight.

It's going to be interesting to see how that breaks down because in recent games, AR, Austin has been their best closer and their best shot creator. And they've run a lot of Austin LeBron two-man game. And that's a little bit easier for them to get into rather than LeBron Luka, just because with LeBron and Luka, it's typically like-sized defenders. So they're just going to switch that.
