Jason Timpf returns to react to NBA superstar Luka Doncic’s first game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Timpf explains why LeBron James’ newest high-profile teammate immediately raises the Lake Show’s offensive ceiling, despite Jason growing concerned about L.A.’s defense with the departure of star forward Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. Timpf breaks down all of the action in the Lakers’ dominant 132-113 victory which saw Luka Magic score 14 points in 24 minutes as he attempts to shake the rust off of a weeks-long injury. Then, Jason explains why Luka and LeBron’s pairing with lob threat Jaxson Hayes is proving to be an effective band-aid after Los Angeles failed to acquire Charlotte Hornets big man Mark Williams at the NBA trade deadline. Finally, Jason closes the show out by explaining why Luka Doncic’s impact on the Lakers could prove to be invaluable as one of the Association’s premiere franchises fights for another Larry O’Brien trophy.
