Mhm. The Los Angeles Lakers
00:04
yesterday, Dubsy, a 1 10 103
00:06
victory over the Timberwolves
00:08
and it wasn't necessarily wire
00:09
to wire because I didn't lead
00:10
in the first quarter, but it
00:11
just felt that the Lakers were
00:13
in control this entire
00:14
basketball game. And the one
00:16
thing I liked about yesterday
00:17
taking the plus one with the
00:18
Los Angeles Lakers, Dubsy was
00:19
the fact that they were
00:20
completely healthy coming into
00:21
game number one. We didn't have
00:23
any minutes restrictions.
00:24
LeBron James played 35 minutes.
00:25
Anthony Davis played 38 minutes
00:27
and in his 38 minutes, 11 of
00:29
23 from the field, 13 of 15
00:31
from the free throw line, 16
00:33
rebounds, four assists, a steal
00:34
three blocks and 36 points
00:37
yesterday for a D superstars
00:40
were shining out there, which
00:41
includes a father son duo as
00:44
well. That joined the court in
00:46
the first half here. Oh, it was
00:47
legendary last night in L. A.
00:50
Dubsy, it was always going to
00:52
happen. Donnie ripped that
00:53
bandaid off. Let's just get it
00:55
out of the way. I was hoping to
00:56
see a couple of points there
00:57
from Bronnie James. We didn't
00:59
get that. Uh, got out there for
01:00
three minutes was yet to get a
01:03
basket, but impressive
01:04
performance from the Lakers.
01:05
1 10 to 1 0 3 grabbing point a
01:07
half there at home for the
01:09
Minnesota Tim walls, no cat. So
01:11
the, uh, the question mark, how
01:12
are they going to look opening
01:14
night? They gave one and that
01:15
was the only way to play the
01:16
Lakers at home at crypto in
01:19
their building. LeBron James
01:21
trying to ball out with, uh,
01:22
with the young fella coming off
01:24
the bench there. But, uh, I
01:25
think that will be concerned
01:27
towards moving through the rest
01:28
of the season. Long jet
01:29
longevity, death. I just don't
01:31
say it there for the Lakers,
01:33
and this will be a sign of how
01:34
they can win basketball games.
01:36
The defense look pretty strong.
01:37
They're going to try and get
01:38
after the low scorers, but they
01:40
should be really, really, uh,
01:42
you know, on that fringe market
01:43
trying to make a push towards
01:44
the playoffs. Every day matters.
01:46
They got off to flying start 1
01:48
10 to 1 0 3. Anthony Davis
01:50
putting up a 36 point
01:52
performance. Very, very
01:53
impressive there from the big
01:55
fella, but time will tell. Can
01:57
he get that durability moving
01:58
through a very long, tough and
02:00
testing season in the
02:02
association? Yeah. Anthony
02:04
Edwards played 41 minutes last
02:05
night for the T walls, went 10
02:06
of 25 from the floor, finished
02:08
with 27 points. It wasn't good
02:09
enough, but you know, his usage
02:11
rate of he's going to be
02:12
extremely high for this entire
02:13
season. But let's focus on the
02:15
things that matter to the NBA.
02:17
Ronnie James last night and
02:18
LeBron James entered the
02:19
basketball game at the same
02:20
time. The first father son duo
02:22
in history to play together.
02:24
It's absolutely wild to actually
02:26
think about that and how it
02:27
could happen. But at this time
02:29
here, look, let's scroll down
02:31
because you got to scroll down
02:32
pretty far to find out where
02:33
Bronnie James actually fit in.
02:34
Technically played three
02:35
minutes last night over two
02:37
from the floor, did have a
02:38
rebound, finished that game
02:39
with a minus five. Now the show
02:42
was you wanted to see history
02:44
and they got that. Was it
02:45
contrived? Absolutely. But
02:47
moving forward, how much
02:48
Bronnie James plays or how long
02:50
he's actually going to be in
02:51
the NBA as opposed to the G
02:53
league here, we're going to
02:54
find out your thoughts on
02:55
Bronnie and LeBron getting in
02:57
the game last night on opening
02:59
night. I mean, you can put me
03:01
in the game and I'd come up
03:02
with the same performance of
03:03
the same stat sheet, you know,
03:05
zero points. I hate to be that
03:07
guy, but he's not a great
03:08
basketball player. Maybe he
03:09
develops into something.
03:11
Obviously they've, uh, they've
03:12
bought in, they're playing the
03:13
long game with Bronnie, but
03:15
really doesn't bring a lot to
03:16
the table. He's a strong
03:17
defender. It really doesn't
03:18
have that size or that
03:19
presence. He's, uh, he's far
03:21
from an electric scorer or, you
03:23
know, it can get hot from
03:25
beyond the arc there. So for
03:26
Bronnie, I think it's going to
03:27
be a long season. We got this
03:29
one out of the way. Let's move
03:31
on. We've got to get past this
03:32
side show. Otherwise the
03:33
Lakers are not going to make a
03:34
push towards the, uh, the
03:35
playoffs there. But in terms of
03:37
what Bronnie brings to the
03:38
table, it's not a lot. I hate
03:40
to be that guy. I don't want to
03:41
be Debbie down in here on a
03:42
Wednesday, uh, Wednesday
03:43
morning, Donnie, but for LeBron
03:45
James, maybe he's buoyed by
03:46
having the young fella on the
03:48
bench. We've seen it with
03:49
Giannis and, uh, the NASA's
03:51
happened. He's brother, maybe
03:52
it's good vibes, good mojo
03:54
that we're bringing to the
03:55
building in terms of, uh, what
03:56
else is a basketball player
03:58
really yet to see it.
