## Resource

Hour 2 started with the question: Should Austin Reaves play this series? Andy thinks if he's close to 90%, than he should. Then, Locked On Rockets Jackson Gatlin called to give the Houston perspective on the Lakers/Rockets and what he thinks of KD's injury. Also, if Austin isn't too far behind from being back on the court, where is Luka? The crew wondered. Plus, "Crunch Time" with the most overrated team in the NBA Playoffs.
