The Lakers Need to Find an Answer for d'Angelo Russell

Sam Vecenie goes solo tonight and talks about the Nuggets-Lakers series, where the Nuggets are up 2-0 and firmly in the driver's seat as it refers to getting to the NBA Finals. How are they doing it? How are the Lakers struggling and making errors? And also, why this series is showing that Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player on the planet.

Then, we'll talk quickly about Celtics-Heat Game 1, and how Boston allowed the Heat to basically get wherever they want whenever they want. We'll break down film on how Jimmy Butler is pinpointing mismatches, and how the Celtics are making it a bit too easy for him to do so.

Finally, just some quick NBA Draft and NBA Draft Combine thoughts as we get into that cycle.
