Episode notes
Jury Duty Scheduling Mishap
- Both hosts had simultaneous jury duty experiences that affected their schedules and podcast timing.
- Dylan felt worse because he never reached the jury box and sat through poor questioning.
Lakers' Road Form Without LeBron
- The Lakers have performed strongly on the road without LeBron, showing depth and defensive questions remain.
- Adding LeBron likely improves them but will require role and shot redistribution, especially for Austin Reeves.
Watch Shots, Not Just Stars
- Monitor how LeBron's return changes shot distribution and minutes, especially for role players like Reeves and Vanderbilt.
- Expect coaching adjustments to preserve team balance and leverage LeBron's playmaking.
