Lake Show Life interrupts this post-game for a Public Service Announcement!
To all Lakers’ opponents going forward for the rest of the season, Lake Show Life has some good advice. If you go to the basket, take it strong and dunk the basketball. It will save you a ton of embarrassment.
At this point, you have seen LeBron James block Murray’s lay-up at the end of the first half. But JaVale McGee and Anthony Davis did to a couple of Spurs shots was just wrong.
Let’s check out JaVale’s rejection. I guess it wasn’t Dejounte Murray’s night.

To Murray’s credit, he is trying to round into form after sitting out all last year with an ACL tear in his knee, but if he’s going to play against the Lakers, he had better start to find that floater because this ain’t it. JaVale blocked that ball Karch Kiraly style into the third row. You could hear the thud when he hit it.
By the way, McGee finished with eight points and six rebounds. He only missed one shot in the game.
In other breaking news, Anthony Davis is going to win NBA Defensive Player of the Year, if he keeps this up. With Davis being saddled with foul trouble, he didn’t make an offensive impact until the end of the game when he dropped nine straight points to close the game out.
But on the defensive end? Oh, he was all right. Just listen to the scream here!

AD scored 19 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out six assists. Again, this dude is remarkable. He didn’t play great, but almost messed around and got a triple-double anyway.
Where he is dominating is on the defensive end. Davis altered many shots in this game while finding time to block two shots and swipe a couple of steals.
