Play.
The Lakers won't get past the Warriors in the playoffs.
The only way the Lakers can reach the NBA Finals is if they don't have to play the Warriors, says Stephen A. Smith. The song is called "1:29."

The Golden State Warriors will be short-handed against the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala will not play on the second night of a back-to-back.
Curry said after Thursday's win that his hip was still bothering him after a collision with James Harden in Tuesday's win over the Nets.
Curry said he would get an assessment. I'm trying to deal with that charge a little bit because it messed with me. We will see how it feels when I wake up.
The Warriors are resting some of their key veterans at the end of a four-game East Coast swing, giving them a chance to be ready for Sunday's home game against the Toronto Raptors.
