Benching Russ

As has been all too common this season, the Lakers lost another game down the stretch -- this time against the Pacers and a red-hot shooting Caris LeVert who nearly outscored the entire Lakers team in the 4th quarter by himself. Pete and Darius discuss the game, using it as a microcosm for some of the Lakers larger issues and how the misalignment of players vs. scheme contributed to the team's defensive struggles down the stretch. Later, the guys discuss Russell Westbrook's late game benching and how they envision that getting resolved (or, not) as the team ventures out on a 6-game road trip.
