Baseline Co-host OG and Resident Laker Lover Jabari Davis joins the show to rub on that Celtic saltiness over the Lakers triumphant victory against the Pacers and hoisting the inagural NBA Cup. Was it a success? Did the NBA achieve what it set itself out to do by rolling out this tournament and who were the winners and losers of the inagural tournament.

We also discuss what we saw from the Pacers and Lakers and if this tournament gave us more confidence of either of these teams being legit contenders for the real trophy in June.
