As a matter of sports entertainment, Sunday's 116-113 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of this first round series was unquestionably top notch. But for Lakers fans, it was monumentally disappointing. The Lakers blew a 10-point lead starting the fourth, and smaller leads later in the game. There were execution mistakes down the stretch. Anthony Edwards again outplayed Luka Dončić down the stretch, and JJ Redick's decision to play the entire second half without making a single substitution is, to say the least, going to be controversial among Lakers fans for a long time. The end result is that the Lakers are down 3-1 in this series, and while it's not over yet—while LA needs three straight games, two of them will be at the Crypt—to say the least the Lakers are in a very tough spot. Minnesota has been the better team, at the top end and as well as considering depth. The Lakers don't have much time to figure out how to fix things, and obviously don't have any more margin for error. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers again are outplayed down the stretch. SEGMENT 2: Did JJ Redick make a mistake? SEGMENT 3: What's next?

The Lakers turned the ball over 19 times, leading to 28 Minnesota points. They took 13 fewer shots than the Wolves. Luka Dončić had a stomach virus, and the supporting cast was, to say the least, lacking. And despite all that, the Lakers had every opportunity to win Game 3 at the Target Center. But over the last six minutes of the game, their mistakes finally caught up with them, and when the offense went totally cold—and Anthony Edwards got hot—the game went from competitive to out of reach incredibly fast. Even while giving Minnesota the credit they deserve for applying a lot of meaningful defensive pressure, if the Lakers play a cleaner game, they win. And it's a shame, because LeBron James was incredible, scoring 38 points on 13-21 shooting, with 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks. Luka did his best, clearly struggling to produce points (16, on 6-16) but still adding seven rebounds and eight assists. Austin Reaves finally found his rhythm from outside (5-11 from 3-point range). But the game was filled with too many mistakes, and supporting players who either played poorly (Jarred Vanderbilt had a ton of mistakes) or really proved unplayable, generally (Jaxson Hayes). So now Game 4 is, again, a must win. And it comes quick - 12:30 PT on Sunday. Hopefully LeBron recoups, and Luka recovers. Or the Lakers could return to LA in dire straits.

The Lakers face a stiff test tonight in Minnesota, where the Wolves (and their fans) host Game 3. Minnesota has been a very solid home team. The Lakers have been... not great on the road. The home crowd will be extremely fired up, and while the Lakers often get quasi-home games in another team's arena, this won't be one of them. But the Wolves might be a little more vulnerable than a typical playoff home squad. Why? Because recent history as a home team has been unkind, including the work done on them by Luka Dončić in last season's playoffs. So while the home crowd will be bonkers, if the Lakers can weather the early flurry and rush of emotion without falling behind, they're in business. If they can build a lead, as they've done in both first quarters in this series? An understandably fatalistic fan base might just get a little skittish. Especially if Luka looks like he's cooking. BIg picture, the Lakers are going to need to find more offense. If Game 3 wraps with the Lakers still struggling to get to 100 points, it's fair to wonder if this is just how it's going to be. If Minnesota's D is, whether because of matchups, flaws in LA's construction or a little bit of both, too good for the Lakers to score in volume. Meaning they'll need Game 2-esque defense at least three more times to win the series. That's a tall order. So how can they get the shots to fall? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Are the Wolves more vulnerable with the average playoff home team? SEGMENT 2: Where are the mismatches? SEGMENT 3: Can the Lakers generate enough O?

The eye test said the Lakers did a lot of things better in Game 2 than in Game 1 (beyond just winning the game). The difference in physicality was particularly visible on the defensive side, where LA was, for the most part, pretty suffocating all night. But it also showed up on offense, even though the Lakers only scored on more point on Tuesday compared to Saturday. They ran more action, set considerably better (and more frequent) screens. And it bears out in passing data, too. The Lakers passed more frequently, particularly the big three, all of whom threw more of them in Game 2 than in Game 1. And all of this stuff is related. More urgency getting into the offense gives more time to throw more passes. More, better run actions create more opportunities to make good passes. Better spacing. Harder cuts. And so on. It's an energy the Lakers will need to sustain heading into Friday's Game 3 in Minnesota. One more thing that might help? Paying less attention to Rudy Gobert. The opportunity to light him up seems to pushing LA's offense off the rails, at times. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers moved the ball more effectively in Game 2. SEGMENT 2: How physicality helped them on offense, too. SEGMENT 3: Should everyone—players, media, etc.—be focused less on Rudy Gobert? Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

It wasn't easy, it wasn't pretty, but it was enough to get the job done. With their backs against the wall, the Lakers needed a victory, in whatever form they could manage. To get it, they'd need to turn up the physicality, turn up the energy and bring some force to the series. And they did. LA's activity, especially in the first half, was outstanding. They built a big lead in the first quarter, and spent the rest of the game defending it, and while there were some nervous moments, the Lakers were never really threatened. Final score, 94-85. Series tied 1-1, going back to Minnesota for Friday's Game 3. The Lakers defense was spectacular all game long, and on the other end, Luka Dončić was outstanding, finishing with 31/12/9. LeBron James and Austin Reaves both managed to get downhill to the bucket (compensating for very poor outside shooting). At some point, the Lakers are going to have to find more efficient way to get points on the board. Averaging 94.5, as they've done through two games, is not going to win the series. But they're back on good footing, and now just need to steal one in Minnesota. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers bring the force required to win. SEGMENT 2: Luka leads the way. SEGMENT 3: What's hurting the O? Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter! In One-stop for ultimate team and league coverage delivered right to your in box.

Monday in El Segundo, the Lakers were undo no illusion about the stakes in tonight's Game 2 against Minnesota at the Crypt. To a man, it was called a must win. Because while the series isn't over with a loss, winning three of four—with three of the remaining games in Minnesota—would be a very, very tall order. So it's go hard or go home, so to speak, with a big emphasis on go hard. Because that was a big problem in Saturday's loss. The Lakers simply didn't match the physicality and intensity brought by the Wolves, and that, JJ Redick believes, was the biggest contributing factor in the Game 1 loss. So that's the first "adjustment," if you want to call it that. Play harder, with more intention, more purpose, more organization. That will allow the game plan, including whatever tweaks Redick and staff have cooked up over the last couple of days, to have a chance of working. It'll help, too, for individuals to perform better, starting with Austin Reaves, who described his play as "s***y Monday afternoon. Or Dorian Finney-Smith, who admitted the stagnation offensively from the Lakers, which limited everyone's touches, brought down his energy. But again, play harder, move more, set more screens, make more cuts and a lot of that can fix itself. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Not enough physicality in Game 1. SEGMENT 2: Reaves calls his play "s***y." SEGMENT 3: DFS is candid. Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter! In One-stop for ultimate team and league coverage delivered right to your in box.

There was a lot that didn't work for the Lakers in Saturday's Game 1 against Minnesota. For starters, the Lakers simply lacked the needed physicality and intensity required to compete with a team like the Wolves in a playoff setting. Why? It's hard to know. But it needs to change on Tuesday, and it's hard to believe the Lakers—hyper aware of their failures in that regard—won't bring it at a higher level. From there, it starts to get to execution and performance. And regarding the latter, it starts with Austin Reaves and LeBron James. Reaves was particularly ineffective, starting slow and (save a couple of minutes in the third quarter) never really getting untracked. He needs to raise his level, and the Lakers need to do a better job of putting him in positions offensively to succeed. James wasn't great either... but he's LeBron, and has a very long track record of Game 1 losses that turn into series wins. But the Lakers need to find him ways to not have to try and generate so much offense in isolation. And as a group, that physicality that was lacking extends to the offense as well. Harder, more purposeful (and plentiful) cutting and screening. More intentional off-ball movement. And then on the other end, the Lakers have to pick a direction against Anthony Edwards, who was far too effective as a distributor on Saturday, in part because the Lakers made things too comfortable for him, collapsing the defense too late in possessions, and making it too hard to recover on shooters after Edwards dished. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers need more from Austin Reaves. SEGMENT 2: How do the Lakers defend Ant? SEGMENT 3: Are they going too small?

After the first quarter, it was all downhill for the Lakers. Minnesota controlled the offensive glass, getting too many second chance points. They hit too many triples, too many of which were wide open. They pressured the Lakers into bad offense. The result, a 117-95 win for Minnesota in Game 1 Saturday night at the Crypt. Luka Dončić put up 37 for the Lakers, but overall the team's offense was a disaster, with very little ball and player movement. Minnesota successfully turned the offense into a series of 1-on-1 possessions, and aside from Luka nobody was able to take much advantage. Meanwhile, bad shot selection put the Lakers on their heels. Lots of work to be done between now and Tuesday's must-win Game 2 for LA. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Things looked good for a quarter... and then the roof caved in. Saturday's 117-95 loss in Game 1 was a full menu of everything that felt concerning for the Lakers heading into the series. Controlling the defensive glass? Yeah, that was an issue. Defending the 3? Oh yeah, that was a problem. Avoiding transition opportunities? Not good! Too much frustration looking for foul calls? Too much of that! After that strong start, Minnesota basically out-everythinged the Lakers. Their defensive pressure took LA out of its offense, which made it very difficult to get the right structure defensively with any level of consistency. It's never a good idea to make definitive declarations after Game 1 of a series, but it's pretty obvious the Lakers have a lot of work to do before Tuesday's Game 2.

At practice Thursday in El Segundo, Dorian Finney-Smith made it very clear that the Lakers as a team are looking forward to opening the playoffs on their home floor, and absorbing the energy the crowd can bring. Because make no mistake, Lakers fans are hyped for this, and the Lakers as a team worked very, very hard to earn home court advantage. Hopefully the Lakers won't need it, but it's great to know the boost provided by a home crowd in the postseason is in their back pocket for four games. Meanwhile, one of the most intriguing storylines of the series deals with Rudy Gobert. Thursday in El Segundo, Jaxson Hayes noted that while Gobert is his matchup, the Stifle Tower is not necessarily his focus. One big reason? Because the Wolves don't operate their offense with Gobert in a featured role. (Though if they'd like to try, I'm sure the Lakers would be ok with it.) That said, Gobert can still be incredibly disruptive, especially as a defender and a rebounder. Minnesota is expected to make a hard push on the offensive glass. So can the Lakers control his impact, and even force the Wolves into some tough decisions? The Lakers might prefer to play Hayes less and force the Wolves to match up with their small(ish) lineups. Finally, is Austin Reaves too good to be an X-Factor? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Fans, get hyped! The Lakers need you. SEGMENT 2: LA vs. Rudy. SEGMENT 3: Austin Reaves... x-factor?

Friday, the Lakers announced that the team and Rob Pelinka have agreed to a contract extension that includes a promotion to President of Basketball Operations (in addition to his role as General Manager). On the surface, this will feel to many like a prize for simply having the good fortune of being handed Luka Dončić on a gift-wrapped platter. And no doubt, landing a generational superstar just now entering his prime never hurts an exec's ability to negotiate long-term security. But reducing Pelinka's successes to merely Luka is actually shortchanging what's been a very good 2024-25. Pelinka's tenure has seen many highs and lows, but as explained in this show, this year featured arguably nothing but strong decisions, whether big or around the margins.

Very, very few folks are picking the Timberwolves to win this first round series with the Lakers. In fact, it's hard to find anyone picking Minnesota. So are they off the mark? Ben Beeken, host of Locked On Wolves joins the show to break it down. For what its worth, Beeken agrees, this is LA's series to lose. Why? For starters, the Lakers have three of the four best players in the series, and in the postseason that tends to matter much more than what's happening deeper down the roster. He expects there to be some carryover from last year's playoffs, where Luka Dončić flambéed the Wolves, because Minnesota really isn't any different defensively this season. But what's the right way to approach it? Will Minnesota try aggressive doubles? Play it straight all around the floor? Meanwhile, what will the Lakers do to try and slow down Anthony Edwards? Can the Lakers keep the Wolves off the glass? Ultimately, is the conventional wisdom correct? Who wins the series? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with guest Ben Beeken SEGMENT 1: How do the Wolves defend Luka? SEGMENT 2: What do the Lakers do with Ant? SEGMENT 3: X-factors and offensive rebounding.

JJ Redick has, on balance, not performed like a rookie coach this season. There have been some slow adjustments, the periodically odd choices for his inbounders, etc. But for the most part, Redick hasn't looked remotely like a deer in the headlights during his first go-around with a clipboard, which has played a role in reaching 50 wins. That said, the playoffs are a totally different beast, as Redick would be the first to say. Will the second season reveal some cracks in an otherwise impressive armor? We discuss.

The Lakers open up what will surely be a challenging first round series against Minnesota on Saturday evening at the Crypt. And while a lot of advanced numbers like what the Wolves have done this year–it's worth noting that in a season that has seemed like a step back, they won exactly one fewer game than the Lakers—it's not like there aren't strong positive signals for the Lakers as well. One big one? The (expected and typical) closing lineup of Luka, LeBron, Austin Reaves, Dorian Finney-Smith and Rui Hachimura has been very, very good. And as we've seen in the last couple of seasons against the Nuggets, the ability to close games strong has been an issue. It shouldn't be this time around. Meanwhile, while Minnesota's advanced metrics look better than LA's on the offensive and defensive end (and in net rating) the Lakers have a significantly better winning percentage against teams in the upper third of the NBA. So there's a lot to like, even while respecting the opponent. So how much will stuff like this impact the series in front of us? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are closers. SEGMENT 2: Another strong indicator for LA. SEGMENT 3: A curious choice for backup C. Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Other than Jordan Goodwin, the entire Lakers rotation rested in their regular season finale vs the Portland Trail Blazers, a 109-81 loss that meant absolutely nothing for a team already locked into the three seed. Instead, Luka, LeBron, Austin, and the gang started resting up and preparing for a first-round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers will likely (and rightly) be favored, but that's not the same thing as a cakewalk. Don't expect that. We explain why.

Wednesday's game in Dallas was fascinating in part because it provided the first opportunity to see Luka Dončić playing for the Lakers against a team led by Anthony Davis, and the contrast between the two. Not that this is a shock, but the side-by-side reinforced all the reasons this trade was a generational opportunity for the Lakers. (And, to say the least, a controversial choice for Dallas.) While he didn't have his best game, Davis is unquestionably an elite talent, and one of the 10-15 best players in the NBA (with stretches where he's more like a top 10 guy). But Doncic is in the top 5. If you're someone who judges players on tiers—a smart way to do it—Luka is definitely a level above A.D.. That makes a huge impact. Then you add in the fact that Donćić, by virtue of his position, has an easier time controlling games. He's significantly younger. He's easier to build around. In the end, he gives the Lakers confidence on the floor and clarity off of it they simply couldn't have with Davis as a current and future centerpiece. None of this is a knock on Davis. It's a testament to Luka's dominance. But it's a big reason the Lakers have a far better shot of going deep in the postseason now than they did before the deal. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Luka is just better. SEGMENT 2: It's not just talent, it's fit. SEGMENT 3: Great numbers for the Lakers. Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Mission accomplished. The Lakers still don't know what team they're going to play in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, but they do know it'll be whatever team finishes sixth, following LA's 140-109 win over a (largely) resting Houston Rockets squad Friday night at the Crypt. After a slow start, the Lakers took control of the game and never let it go, comfortable knowing they could win pretty easily as long as they put in a reasonable level of focus. Luka Dončić led the way with 39 points, along with eight rebounds and seven assists. Austin Reaves finished with 23/7/6. About the only bad thing that happened was an injury scare with LeBron James in the second half, but based on LeBron's movement and attitude on the sidelines, the Lakers seemed to have dodged a bullet. And even if he's sore, with the win the Lakers can sit all their regulars on Sunday in Portland, and then rest up while the rest of the West does the whole play-in thing. An excellent night overall for the purple and gold (assuming LeBron is, indeed, fine). HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

That was impressive. In a highly emotional return to Dallas on Wednesday, Luka Dončić came out hot, scoring 14 first quarter points, 31 by halftime and finishing with 45, to go along with eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. Particularly impressive (especially to his teammates and coach) was how Luka was able to put on that type of performance after absorbing huge ovation from the crowd and an incredibly well done tribute video during pregame introductions. For the Lakers, 112-97 win, which featured a great fourth quarter push to regain control of the game and put it out of reach, has huge implications. They're now one win away from clinching the 3rd seed in the West, guaranteeing they'll host at least one playoff round, and at the least, they will finish in the top 6, meaning while teams are competing in the Play-In tournament, the Lakers will be resting. Just a remarkable night for the Luka, for the Lakers and their potential for a deep playoff run. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Luka lights up the Mavs. SEGMENT 2: Incredible focus from LA's new star. SEGMENT 3: What the win means for the Lakers.

With 7:40 left in the fourth quarter, Luka Dončić made a basket and talked trash to a courtside fan. Referee JT Orr, presumably, thought he was yelling at him (or, perhaps, that this sort of exchange is off limits), and T'd Luka up. Dončić, who had been hit with at tech earlier in the game, was done. At that point, OKC went on an extended run and ended up winning 136-120. Had the officials not intervened so actively in the game, would the Lakers have won? We'll never know... and that's the point! It's not a matter of the game being stolen—thought certainly an opportunity was taken from the Lakers—but another example of officials refusing to avoid making themselves the story. The Lakers lost the game, and it was an important one. But basketball fans lost as well, which sucks, too. The Lakers still need two wins in the final three games to lock down the 3-seed out West.

The NBA world and Lakers fans were primed for an exciting rematch of Sunday's matchup (and beatdown) of the Western Conference-leading OKC Thunder, but that might not be what's on tap on Tuesday. The Lakers' injury report lists Rui Hachimura as out, which hints at a prioritization of Wednesday's game in Dallas vs. the Mavericks. (Whether you consider this Luka Doncic's "Revenge Game," Anthony Davis' "Revenge Game," Nico Harrison's "Revenge Game," or "Everybody's Revenge Game," it's very clearly a "Revenge Game" to somebody.) But perhaps the bigger hint is Doncic, LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent and Dorian Finney-Smith all listed as questionable, which feels like the preemptive punting in OKC. There's a logic to this, but should the Lakers lose, it puts even more pressure to win two of the last three games to guarantee a three-seed without other teams helping them out. Pragmatic choice or too risky and clever by half? Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Segment 1: Are the Lakers punting tonight's game vs. OKC? Segment 2: Good strategy or risky? Segment 3: Is Maxi Kleber a postseason option? And what to expect from Luka's "Revenge Game?" Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

The Lakers messed around for a half, but then got serious (enough) to put away a depleted Pelicans squad. In the meantime, does Dalton Knecht need to reenter the rotation? It took a minute to shake off the fatigue off the back-to-back, but once they did the Lakers took and kept control, pulling away from the Pels in the second half to win 124-108. Luka Dončić started slow but was 7-9 from the floor in the 2nd half, finishing with 35 points. Austin Reaves, after hitting nine triples against the Warriors Thursday, had six more on Friday en route to 30 points, along with seven assists. LeBron James kicked in with 27 points and eight assists. The Big Three lived at the line, combining for all 28 of LA's free throws. As a team, the Lakers kept the turnovers down, and never seemed to doubt their ability to get the plays required to win, even when the Pelicans drew close. Was it a pretty win? No. Did it need to be? No. With two games coming up in Oklahoma City, followed by Luka's return to Dallas and a home date against Houston, they can be excused for only exerting the amount of effort required to win on Friday.

The Lakers had a big opportunity Thursday to put themselves in prime position for (at worst) a 3rd seed in the Western Conference with a win over the visiting Golden State Warriors. Lose, and things would get a lot more interesting. Well, things are a lot more interesting. Golden State punished the Lakers on the glass, racking up second chance points to fuel a 123-116 win over the purple and gold. As a result, the Lakers are now packed into a group of six teams separated by 2.5 games, ranging from the 3rd to the 8th seed. Given their tough closing schedule (two games in OKC, one in Dallas, one vs. Houston) it's reasonable to be nervous. One thing that would help the Lakers finish strong? Luka Dončić needs to break out of his shooting slump, and fast. Luka finished without a triple in Thursday's loss (0-6). Over his last three games, Luka is 3-22 from 3-point range. Overall, he's 22-56, inefficiency that's putting a drag on the offense, both because of the empty possessions, and because there are definitely trips where Luka is (understandably) trying to get him self untracked. It's no secret that the Lakers, for a variety of reasons, haven't been able to get the best Dončić has to offer. Over his last 10 games, Luka has two where he's been over 50% from the floor. In five, he's been under 40%. He's also produced over eight rebounds and eight assists over that stretch, so it's not like Luka's just failing left and right. But at a time when you hope to see the team rounding into form, a significant part of Luka's game is still offline. It's easy enough to speculate as to why (he's banged up) but regardless, the fully realized version of the Lakers includes a fully realized Dončić, and also includes the Lakers staying out of the play-in... an effort that would certainly benefit from Luka playing better. He said after the game Thursday that his performance was unacceptable, so it's not like Luka isn't aware, or is playing it casual. It would have been helpful to beat the Warriors for a variety of reasons, but one of the sneaky ones is it would've given the Lakers a little more wiggle room to rest guys (Luka included) Friday against the Pelicans. Instead, everyone who can play likely will. At least a run against a bad New Orleans team gives Luka a chance to find a groove. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron and Steph put on a show... but a show with a sad ending. SEGMENT 2: Luka is slumping. SEGMENT 3: No bench play, bad rebounding do the Lakers in.

Wednesday in El Segundo, JJ Redick was given a chance to hype up Austin Reaves for this year's NBA Most Improved Player award. In his weird way, he advocated for Reaves by saying essentially that he can't/won't win because people just don't know what that award is supposed to be. By rejecting the plausibility of the premise, his implication was strong that Reaves is deserving. And is he a more worthy candidate than Cade Cunningham or Dyson Daniels (to name the two guys leading the betting odds for MIP)? Dunno. Those guys have had great seasons. But whether or not Reaves actually wins (which he very likely won't) is secondary to the viability of his candidacy. He deserves it, much more than some guys who find themselves in the running for MIP because they've finally gotten a chance to play, or went from crappy to pretty good! in ways that were unexpected. What Reaves has done this year is really, really hard. It's hard to go from solid player to All Star adjacent. It's really hard to make the transition from role player to franchise pillar. One of the guys who is expected to put up high quality numbers (and add quality leadership) on a night in, night out basis. The Lakers have a Big Three model. And even if Luka Dončić and LeBron James are tiers above Reaves overall, Reaves is still the third most important Laker, and it's really not close. The fact it's no longer debatable is a big reason the Lakers are winning as much as they are. (Last year, AR was third in name, but not in consistency. It wasn't always easy to definitively identify the team's third best player.) ' Now, he's a tremendous weapon, slotted into a great role in which to continue nurturing that growth. While Reaves has shown the ability to be the main man in games where LA's other stars have been missing, most of his floor time now is with either James, Luka or both. He can move and attack knowing the team's best defender isn't likely to be on him. He's empowered to use his creativity as a ball handler, passer and scorer, and when things are going well gets to do all three from positions of advantage. Does this make him an MIP? To the Lakers, surely, and their vote matters most, even if it doesn't come with at trophy. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a HUGE game tonight against the Warriors. SEGMENT 2: AR for MIP? SEGMENT 3: What about JJ Redick and Rob Pelinka for some awards love? Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

At this time of year, you'll often hear players talk about how they don't pay attention to what's happening around them in the standings. We just focus on ourselves. We keep it tight, inside the building. We're controlling what we control. And, yeah, sure. Control what you control. That's always sound strategy. But the idea these guys don't pay attention to the standings? To how teams around them are doing? It is, and has always been, a crock of... well, you get it. The Lakers aren't playing that game. Following Monday's win against Houston, everyone in the locker room asked about the Western Conference standings made it very clear that they know what's going on. They pay attention. They follow closely. Why? Because it's really important! The Western Conference is insanely competitive. And so for the Lakers, priority number one is avoiding the play-in. While every team in the league benefits from having time off while lesser teams have to fight to get into the main draw, when a third of your Big Three is 40 years old with 22 years of NBA play on the odometer (LeBron), the next guy has been trying hard to recover from an injury that cost him a huge chunk of the season (Luka) and the third gets hit in the face at least six times a game (Austin Reaves) a little R&R can make a big difference. For the Lakers, not only would that week make it more likely to win their first round matchup, it would increase the odds of doing it quickly, and set them up better to win the next round, too. The good news for LA? Where sometimes there's a temptation to start playing games and try to manipulate the seeding in order to draw a certain opponent, this year there's none of that. First, the conference is too tightly packed to try and thread that needle. There's some real FAFO potential, with that sort of nonsense. But more importantly, there isn't a matchup (i.e. Denver of the last couple seasons) it seems obvious the Lakers NEED to avoid. Every matchup will be tough, but the Nuggets don't have the same mystique anymore. Houston? Memphis? Golden State? Good teams, all, but none seem like they can't be overcome. (The Clippers feel scary, if everyone is playing.) Instead, the goal ought to be to win as many games as possible, to get the tangible rewards of a) potentially earning more home games in the postseason, and b) avoiding Oklahoma City as long as possible. Think of it this way: The Lakers are 17 games over .500. That's really good. They're also 17 games behind OKC. Don't overthink this. If there's a team to avoid as long as possible, it's the Thunder. Land a 2 or a 3 seed, and they're someone else's problem until the Conference Finals. Once critical bit of housekeeping: The Lakers own tiebreakers up and down the playoff ladder. That could come in handy, particularly near the end of the year. Maybe it means the Lakers have a chance to move up on that last day of the season against Portland. Or, even better, maybe they have a seed locked up and can rest some folks. Every little luxury could make a big difference this year. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers know what's happening in the standings. SEGMENT 2: What should they be doing? SEGMENT 3: The most dangerous matchup.

The Lakers showed a lot Monday night in their 104-98, even while the game was, to say the least, not a ton of fun to look at. Two teams, both playing extremely hard, both playing solid defense. But everyone knows at this point that, good as they are, the Rockets really can't score at an elite level. The Lakers, however, have Luka! They've got LeBron! Austin Reaves has been insanely good over the last 15 games! Points is their thing, right? Regular watchers of the team know that while that sort of potential is there, the Lakers haven't figured out how to make it happen every night. So Monday, they got into a game that was probably as close to ideal as Houston coach Ime Odoka could get. Dončić, James and Reaves combined for 48 points on 39 shots. Not exactly high end efficiency. But all three of them made critical defensive plays, and Luka's nine dimes helped provide a lot of the grease lubricating LA's offense. And the rest was provided through huge games from Dorian Finney-Smith (20 points, 6-11 from 3-point range) and Gabe Vincent (20 points, 6-13 from 3). Both of those guys shot a ton (for them) and shot the lights out because the Rockets stuck to a plan of forcing anyone but the stars to beat them. And they did! For teams to advance in the playoffs, they need to be able to win in a variety of ways. One dimensional squads, even when really good, can only hide for so long in the postseason because at some point, the matchups won't be in their favor, or a clever opposing coach will find a way to mitigate that one (really good!) dimension. Monday, the Lakers beat Houston playing Houston's style of basketball. They've won other games by running effectively, and plenty by defending well beyond what people expected. The Big Three didn't force the issue, they instead put faith in open players to make shots, and eventually it began to happen. The Lakers are still working to find their ceiling. They might not have enough time to get there. But they continue to uncover capabilities that will make them a harder out in the spring.

It wasn't long ago the Lakers had reached the 2nd spot in the Western Conference playoff race (by percentage points, but still second). Having fallen off that pace, if they have any hope of getting there again, the Lakers absolutely must beat the visiting Houston Rockets on Monday night, and then do it again on April 11 when Houston returns to town. The Lakers are yet to play the Rockets in the Luka Dončić Is a Laker Era, but certainly hope his career success against the Rockets carries over. Luka has averaged over 31 points and 10 rebounds in 18 career games against Houston, with nearly eight assists per night, as well. In three games last season, he lit them up for 41/10/9.3. Certainly the Lakers would happily accept that level of production. (Hopefully he has a grudge against someone in that organization.) But for LA, while the prospect of moving back up the playoff ladder is exciting, the big priorities remain first, stay out of the play in, and then try to earn home court for the first round. For the former, the enter Monday's game with a 2.5 game cushion over 7th place Minnesota, and with the latter, a one game lead (two, functionally, given the tiebreaker) on Memphis. Given the remaining schedule—the Lakers play Golden State on Thursday, have two games on the road against an OKC team still playing hard despite wrapping up the top seed in the conference, a Dallas squad getting healthier and the aforementioned second game against Houston. Even sprinkling in New Orleans and Portland in the regular season finale, there's just not much fluff in that slate. With that in mind, the excitement around tonight's game is about the clash of two teams that (for very different reasons) are sitting in a seed that wasn't expected earlier in the year. Plenty of people wonder if the Lakers and Rockets (especially the Rockets) really are true contenders this season, or if the records might be a mirage. It's exciting because it's the first look at how the new-look Lakers match up against Houston. But it's meaningful first and foremost because a win would give the Lakers that much more breathing room to absorb a loss or two down the stretch.

The Lakers needed a win on Sunday in Memphis, and they got it. 134-127 over the Grizzlies, giving LA a key tiebreaker in the Western Conference playoff race, and keeping them in fourth place (in position to host a first round matchup). The big three were huge, with Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves combining for 85 points and 25 assists, as the Lakers moved the ball very well as a team and generated a lot of high quality shots. Reaves in particular made a ton of critical plays, many based on raw hustle. His 31 points led the team, and big picture continues to raise the level of his play. Given how many games the Lakers have played over the last month, and how motivated the Grizzlies were after the organization fired Taylor Jenkins Friday, this was a very impressive win.

The Lakers have lost games this season that they should have won. Every team does over the course of an 82-game season. They all count. So technically speaking, Thursday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls in Chicago is just one game on the calendar, like all the others. Except this late in the year, when there are so few games remaining, the impact of these terrible losses is far higher. So given that they were up by double digits with under five minutes to play, up by five with 12 seconds to play, and up by one with three seconds remaining... yeah, this one's gonna bruise. Especially when LeBron James, who is as smart a player the game has ever seen, was part of two plays that helped turn a win into a loss. First, on an inbounds pass with 12.6 seconds remaining, James got caught in no man's land, rotating too high towards Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, who swung the ball to Pat Williams in the corner. LeBron couldn't close fast enough, and Williams buried the triple. Then, with a timeout available, LeBron dropped a horrible inbound pass in the direction of Austin Reaves that was easily picked off by Bulls guard Josh Giddey, who kicked it to Coby White for another three. Five point lead? Try one point deficit. You could watch LeBron play 100 more games before seeing a play that bad. And then James, like everyone else on the Lakers, let Giddey move unobstructed up the floor for his buzzer beating heave from halfcourt. LeBron wasn't the only culprit, to be sure. Luka Dončić got off to a terrible start, got hot in the second half, but took a few questionable shots down the stretch. LA also caught some bad luck, as Chicago went nuclear in the fourth quarter, hitting 11-14 3-point attempts. That, as JJ Redick noted after the game, would be considered good work even in an empty gym. And it still took a 47-footer for the Bulls to win. But that's kind of the point. The Lakers did so much good stuff to overcome a slow start and put what seemed like a stranglehold on the game. But a little organic bad luck combined with a lot of the type the Lakers created for themselves means they lost out on an opportunity to stick closer to the Nuggets for the 3-seed, and missed a chance to move ahead of Memphis and give themselves a better grip on the fourth spot. It's fair to wonder how they'll react heading into a critical game Saturday against the Grizzlies. Redick said they don't have time to feel sorry for themselves, and the staff won't let them, anyway. So while it's easy to wonder about the emotional impact and any potential for carryover into the weekend, the more immediate hit is practical. This hurts the Lakers in the standings. It almost certainly eliminates a shot at the 2-seed, even with two games remaining against Houston, unless the Rockets totally collapse. It hurts their efforts to keep home court in the first round, and it keeps the threat of dropping to 7th and the play-in tournament alive. In short, it's bad, and the way it happened, with so many moments where it seemed the Lakers would walk away with a win, literally until the end? Certainly makes it feel worse.
