Anthony watched last night and couldn't help but wonder how, if the Lakers just made adjustments more quickly than they typically did, they could've at least extended the series. A lot went into getting swept, but the difference between their rookie head coach and the best coach in the NBA is stark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Anthony and Howard Beck usually are pretty agreeable but today they may as well have launched a blood feud as they discuss these finals, and the NBA's continued attempted at legislating parity.
