LeBron James’s 1,297-game streak of scoring in double digits has come to an end, but the Lakers came out on top with a victory over the Raptors thanks to a LeBron assist to Rui Hachimura. Raja Bell and Logan Murdock discuss whether this is the version of LeBron the Lakers need to be successful. After he was sent home by the Clippers, more has been revealed about why Chris Paul is no longer with the team. Were the Clippers out of line for the manner in which they released arguably the best player in their franchise's history? Plus, there's been an uptick in injuries to stars and games being missed by important players; does basketball have a problem with the way it's developing players? Plus, a pack watch for the ages!
