00:00Interesting game DRS not just because it was game number three for Luka Doncic or would LeBron James play after sitting out

00:06All-star Sunday night, but of course because of the other proposed blockbuster deal during NBA trade deadline week

00:13That would have sent Charlotte's big man

00:15Mark Williams to LA in exchange for Dalton connect and a few other pieces

00:20But the trade had to be rescinded after a failed physical on behalf of Mark Williams

00:27So a lot at stake last night in LA

00:29But the Lakers who were playing great basketball and during the break winners of 12 of their last 15

00:35Were twelve and a half point home favorite LeBron James was in the lineup

00:39Luka Doncic was in the lineup for his third game in the purple and gold should have been an easy

00:45Lakers win, right?

00:47Except it wasn't the Hornets went outright as a twelve and a half point road underdog

00:54197 in Los Angeles

00:56Yeah, just a brutal game overall and for that all-star break that got widely panned and it's saying like why this game is so boring

01:03And Draymond Green saying all you do is run fast and shoot three-point shots. Well this game at a hundred and ninety seven points

01:09But it had over

01:10103 point attempts in the game here like that's exactly

01:15What the old heads can't stand when they say they can't watch this sport now understand this as well

01:19We always talk about teams and players being creatures of habit in season

01:24You're in your shoot arounds, you know when you get your workouts you get your meals when you completely

01:28Disconnect for six to seven days and then have to get back out there and play in a competitive environment

01:33This is what you get which is why we talked about yesterday with the Lakers being favored close to two touchdowns saying you know

01:38What yes, they should win. Yes to the better team

01:41But understand like both of these teams a little bit out of it

01:44You take that many points and say I'll live with it never in a million years that I think that the Charlotte Hornets would actually

01:49Go on the road and beat the Los Angeles Lakers, but then again now the Lakers go

01:53Okay, we spent our starters in this game

01:55Now we have a back-to-back game in Portland where they're rested and we probably won't have LeBron and or don't you tonight?

02:01What a terrible open to the second day for the Lakers taking the loss to the Hornets right out of the gate
