This week on ‘Winning Time,’ the Lakers seem like heavy favorites heading toward the playoffs, but intra-team bullshit, from coaching conflicts to Magic’s insecurity, threaten to hold them back. Alan Sepinwall’s recap
This was, in fact, the last episode critics were given in advance of the series premiere.
After spending the last few episodes recuperating from his near-fatal bike accident, Jack is back on his feet and understandably wants his old job back. Yes, the Lakers are winning under Paul and Pat Riley, but they’re running the offense that Jack Spencer becomes collateral emotional damage in the inter-coaching rivalry. Jack tells Spencer that Paul and Pat want to trade him for big man Bob McAdoo, triggering Spencer’s own paranoia and leading him to freebase cocaine.The Magic-versus-Larry rivalry, meanwhile, isn’t going anywhere, as the two men would be linked for their entire careers. But this week adds some new wrinkles to it.
