“This is the Anthony Davis, I want EVERY NIGHT,” The Athletic’s Ry Cole tweeted Thursday, and the league is more likely to get that when he’s at the 5 and LeBron is still on the floor.
This is undoubtedly one of the most talented duos ever put together. Their chemistry seemed to be there almost instantly, which has a lot to do with LeBron possibly planting the seeds for a peaceful transition of power.

“We’re playing scrappy,” head coach Frank Vogel said after the Lakers’ win in Game 2. “We’re competing at a very high level, the care factor on the defensive side of the ball is where it should be to win the playoffs, and we have tremendous respect for the offensive firepower of the team that we’re playing.
“Just been pleased with our team’s effort and commitment on the defensive end in both games.”
The effort has led the Lakers to an absurd defensive rating of 94.5, as Portland went from averaging 126 points per game in the bubble to 94 against L.A.
