February 16, 2021 - Jason Jones
Manage episode 285229119 series 2806309
He covers the Sacramento Kings for The Athletic, but Jason Jones is also an L.A. dude, and joins the Happy Hour to talk Western Conference basketball and his beloved Dodgers as Spring Training kicks off.
We start on the Brooklyn Nets, who are the opponent for the Lakers in Thursday's big marquee national TV matchup. They can't stop anyone, really, but how good do they need to be on that side of the ball to be successful? It worked out well enough Tuesday against the Suns, as Brooklyn got enough stops to complete a big fourth quarter comeback with both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in street clothes. Just how bad on defense is good enough?
What do the Lakers lose without Anthony Davis in the lineup? How can the team benefit, even knowing anything they do now with him out of the lineup won't stay "as is" once he returns? Jones notes why these games could ultimately benefit the Lakers.
From there, we dive into the Kings, and the future of former Lakers head coach Luke Walton. Is he doing good work up there? How good should the Kings be? Will Walton survive this season and make it into next?
Next, was Draymond Green on to something when he teed off on media and fans for the double standard he believes players are held to when it comes to trades and professionalism? Was he creating straw men? Complaining too much?
Finally... Jason Jones loves his Dodgers. And with Spring Training basically here, he's ready to crown them again.
