The Lakers have lost back to back games, the first in a blowout when nearly every rotation player sat when the team played their sixth game in eight nights and then the second another blowout loss, this time with the full rotation available against the upstart Bulls who simply dominated them. Pete and Darius zero in on the Bulls game and discuss whether some of the defensive challenges the Lakers faced are part of larger concern or just a one-off. And then later the guys discuss Jarred Vanderbilt, where he fits best within lineup groupings, his role on offense, and much more.

With Luka Dončić now in the fold, the Lakers ability to create and extend advantages offensively and get defenses into scramble mode has only been amplified. Pete and Darius discuss the team's ability to put defenses "into the blender", the role LeBron and Austin Reaves play in this idea, and how creating and maximizing these possessions will be critical to their success into the playoffs and beyond.
