The Late Night Happy Hour with Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

He's the guy at the center of one of the best new basketball websites out there. Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) of BasketballNews.com joins the Late Night Happy Hour, breaking down a huge range of topics over the course of an hour.

We start with the Lakers, who won their first game Tuesday without Anthony Davis. Looking ahead, what do these games without him mean? What can the Lakers accomplish? How does the absence of Davis impact the MVP campaign of LeBron James? If he carries the team could LeBron win the award, but hurt his chances at another title?

What about the rest of the league? Is Utah for real? Just how bad are the Nets defensively, and how good is "good enough," given their star power? We debate.

Finally, the NBA and its players have enjoyed an excellent relationship over the last few years. How much of that is jeopardized by the league staging an All Star Game this year?
