In many ways, I agree with Wallace. I think everybody knows what LeBron is going to bring to the playoffs but the Lakers need Anthony Davis to play like he did in last year’s playoffs if the LA is going to repeat as NBA championships. The truth is AD’s play so far this year has not been close to his elite performances in the playoffs last year, especially his jump shooting from midrange and three. Also, his defense has not been at the level it was last year regular season and playoffs.

I think this is something that’s going to survive the covid seasons. Makes good sense from fan and travel standpoint. Look for the schedules in the future to incorporate this idea as the norm. Great training for coaching staffs and players for the playoffs.
