SMASH THAT NBA PANIC BUTTON Ball and Order

Gabe and Alex are back and doing an NBA podcast now instead of sports history. The NBA is also back and, after one game, we’re ready to smash that panic button for at least one team: the Los Angeles Lakers! We explain why we think the Lakers will underperform, how Russell Westbrook affects their ceiling, and how washed the rest of Lakers are. They also discuss the Brooklyn Nets, Chris Duarte, Jaylen Brown and the San Antonio Spurs.
