With news that Anthony Davis will be out at least a month with a mid-foot sprain, the Lakers will need to make a determination on how hard to push for their final 24 games considering their place in the standings and the talent available to them. Pete and Darius discuss the team's calculus night to night, why LeBron's mentality towards these games puts him in the middle of it all, and how much Russ' spirit and competitiveness can propel the team. Later, the guys talk about whether the team can compensate defensively with AD out and why the last time he was hurt needs to inform the lineup decisions to inspire better defense.
