After dropping Friday's game to the Pacers in Indiana, the Lakers restarted their roadtrip in Brooklyn with a clear mandate - sweep the final three games, all coming against weak teams.  And on the one hand, the Lakers did some serious work early, running out to a 17-0 lead, while ballooned to 31-11 by the end of the first quarter. That gave them some wiggle room over the final three quarters, and unfortunately the Lakers decided to use it. Particularly in the third quarter, where the Lakers committed a parade of turnovers that let the Nets cut a lead that had grown as high as 26 back down to single digits. Chalk up some of them to to decent play from Brooklyn, but most of them were simply a result of sloppiness from LA. It was the difference between an easy win where the starters need to play deep into the fourth and one where LeBron, Anthony Davis and Co. could have sat down much faster.  There were plenty of good stat lines. LeBron James had 40 points, tying a career high with nine 3-pointers (on only 10 tries). Anthony Davis finished with 24/14. Rui Hachimura finished with 20 points on a very efficient 8-12 shooting. As a team the Lakers were over 54% from the floor, and held Brooklyn to 42%. Literally the only reason the Nets had a chance was because the Lakers let them.  The Lakers only had two points off the bench, a bucket from Gabe Vincent, who played 14 minutes in his first game in months, and only his sixth overall. The Lakers tried a few different lineup combinations, and have some choices to make going forward. Do you trust Darvin Ham to manage this?  In the end, it was a game much like others they've played this year -- plenty to like, but just enough to shake your head at to keep it from being fully satisfying. But they got the win they needed, and now can head to Toronto with a chance to keep a 5-1 trip alive.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN  KAMENETZKY (WITH GUEST DAMAN RANGOOLA) SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get up big early, close strong.    SEGMENT 2: How should the Lakers integrate Gabe Vincent?    SEGMENT 3: Do the Lakers still have strong postseason prospects?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

In Memphis, the Lakers couldn't miss. Friday in Indiana?  How does 16.7% from three point range sound. They held a Pacers team that hung 145 on them at the Crypt a week or so ago to 109 points, but because they only scored 90 themselves, the game was a runaway. Or ended up that way, at least, because LA had a chance to get things very. very close in the fourth quarter, but couldn't get themselves over the hump. Every the opportunity was there, they'd either turn the ball over or miss a shot, and eventually they ran out of time.  Maybe it was tired legs, with the team playing a third game in four nights. Maybe it was just the law of averages getting them because sometimes games like this happen. It's a statistical outlier, but outliers happen.  What it really turns out to be is a missed opportunity to gain ground in the West, as both Phoenix and Sacramento lost.  Contextually, losing this game is understandable, and overall the Lakers are playing better ball... but at this point in the season the hole they've put themselves in demands near perfection to have a chance to overcome even in small ways (like moving from nine to eight). They had a chance to win Friday, even while playing ugly basketball, offensively. And they didn't.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Some interesting news of late for the Lakers ahead of the third game of a thus-far undefeated road trip. First, D'Angelo Russell told Hoopshype that he'd like to remain a Laker if possible, but also implied that he'll be weighing his options this offseason, including his contract player option. The season began with everyone assuming D'Lo would be traded before the deadline. Instead, he's having arguably the best season of his career. He's always been a polarizing player, but has the performance shifted perceptions? Where could he potentially go? Also, Shams Charania reported that Gabe Vincent could be available for action soon, maybe even Sunday in Brooklyn. Obviously, there have been reports of Vincent's imminent return, only to prove premature. But Vincent has actually been ramping up of late. Assuming he's able to play, how difficult will integrating a player who's only got five games with his teammates under his belt? Is the effort actually worth it as the Lakers try to hit their stride and climb the standings? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky... featuring special guest Allen Sliwa, 710 ESPN   SEGMENT 1: D'Angelo wants to remain a Laker... and also has leverage over the team.   SEGMENT 2:  What options around the league would D'Lo have this summer?    SEGMENT 3: Can the Lakers integrate Vincent into the rotation with just a handful of games to do it?    Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Was it a perfect game? Not as much as a 136-124 score might indicate. At one point in the third quarter, the Lakers pushed their lead to 27, creating a potential opportunity for the starters to rest for basically the entire fourth quarter. Instead, Rui Hachimura had to continue his scintillating outside shooting, canning seven(!) threes on the way to 32 points and ten rebounds. LeBron James, in his return after sitting out the Milwaukee win while nursing his problematic ankle, played more minutes than preferable for his triple-double. D'Angelo Russell hit five threes of his own. Jaxson Hayes had 14 points and seven rebounds filling in for Anthony Davis, who got the night off after logging 52 minutes in the double OT win over the Bucks. Again, would have been nice to maintain a 20-plus point cushion. But that's not the same thing as the game ever really being in jeopardy, which it wasn't. All in all, pretty uneventful when it comes to true suspense... in a good way. Brian is still out of town, but Andy was joined by C.J. Toledano, Lakers fanatic and co-host of the new podcast, Point Game https://linktr.ee/pointgamepod, co-hosted with former NBA star John Wall. They discussed the Lakers' winning ways of late, Hachimura's significance as a baller and an Asian athlete, the future of athlete-created content, and much more. Fun show!   HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky... featuring special guest CJ Toledano (Point Game Podcast, Follow Through)   SEGMENT 1: The game was uneventful... and that's a good thing.   SEGMENT 2:  The importance of Rui Hachimura, on and off the court.   SEGMENT 3: C.J. discusses his divided house during the IST, and the future of athlete-created content.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Game of the season for the Lakers? That's up for debate and personal taste, but there's no question Tuesday's 128-124 double overtime road win over the Milwaukee Bucks, short LeBron James no less, is on the short list of signature victories this season. What seemingly began as a blowout loss in the making gradually, steadily, and impressively shifted into an absolutely spectacular display of guts and will from, among others, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura. AD, who played much of the game on a leg clearly bugging him, wrapped up the night with a monster 34/23/4 block line, including the erasure of a Damian Lillard floater to push the game into 2OT. Austin Reaves began the night shaky, but finished with a 29/14/10 triple-double, highlighted by a few jaw-droppingly deep threes in big moments. D'Lo had a rough night shooting overall, but hit a flurry of threes (five in all) during the second half to provide a big spark of belief, plus 12 dimes against just four turnovers. And Rui had a solid 16 points to go with a career-high fourteen rebounds, critical on a night when someone had to pick up LeBron's slack on the glass. Throw in some big moments from Spencer Dinwiddie and Taurean Prince, plus Darvin's decision to push for a win when sitting the starters ahead of tonight's game in Memphis would have been perfectly sensible, and you had all the makings of a victory that reminds fans that, when this team really wants it, they can be a very tough out.   HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky... featuring special guest Edwin Garcia (@ECreates88), Silver Screen and Roll, Swish Appeal   SEGMENT 1: What a win!!!!   SEGMENT 2: Anthony Davis was the man.   SEGMENT 3: Austin Reaves, you crazy genius!   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Amazon Fire TV Fire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

The Lakers kick off a six game road trip tonight in Milwaukee. Normally this sort of thing would be looked on with some bit of dread, especially given that the Lakers have been a horrible road team all season.  And certainly Monday's game against the Bucks will be a major challenge, especially in light of LeBron James being downgraded to doubtful ahead of the contest thanks to the same ankle that's kept him on the injury report all year. Hopefully he/the Lakers are just picking one day for LBJ to rest in the space of a back to back... but there's really know way to know until Wednesday when the Lakers arrive in Memphis. But as for this one, yes, the Lakers beat the Bucks recently, but Milwaukee has played better of late, and is unquestionably a contender in the East. This would be a losable game with or without James.  But hey, maybe the Lakers surprise shorthanded. Wouldn't be the first time, this season.  And moreover, once THIS game is done, the Lakers  get some real opportunities. Wednesday vs. a terrible Memphis squad. Then an Indiana team they just beat, and the Nets, Raptors and Wizards. 4-2 is the bare minimum that is acceptable for a trip like this one.  And it's important, because the Phoenix Suns have a very difficult path ahead of them (made even more difficult when they lost to the freakin' Spurs on Monday, after this show was recorded). A solid late run to end the year from LA (think 9-2, 8-3) could be enough to move them to the 7 spot, because Phoenix plays 10 straight games against Western Conference playoff teams. But the Lakers have to do their part, and even then it still won't be easy.  Plus... more on Spencer Dinwiddie, and how his recent surge could impact the team going forward, including different lineup combinations. Why has Cam Reddish been finishing games over Rui Hachimura? And what, exactly, did scurvy do to the human body?    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers will face Milwaukee (almost surely) without LeBron.    SEGMENT 2: Things are tightening a little around the Suns. Plus, a small defensive bright spot? SEGMENT 3: Cam over Rui, more Reddish, more schedule.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

One figured this would be a high-scoring night, given how the Indiana Pacers have arguably the best offensive team in the NBA all season, the Lakers have morphed over the course of the year into a juggernaut in their own right, and neither team should brag about their defenses of late. Yes, the Lakers were without D'Angelo Russell, but still, there's plenty of firepower to go around in L.A. But even by those standards, this 150-145 Lakers win was an insane shootout.   Four Lakers with 25+ points. 26 for Spencer Dinwiddie, starting in D'Lo's spot and having the best game of his purple and gold tenure. (On the heels of what had been his best L.A. game Friday against the Sixers.) 36 points for Anthony Davis, who made 15 of 21 shots and pulled down 16 rebounds just for fun. Even the Lakers' typically barren bench, led by Taurean Prince's 14 points, was respectably prolific.   Of course, the Pacers got in on the act as well, with Pascal Siakam exploding for 27 second-half points (36 in all), Myles Turner chipping in 20 and the team going 50 percent from distance. Indiana also outscored the Lakers 46-34 in the fourth quarter, including a late flurry of threes to make things very tense down the stretch. (To say the Lakers' late fourth quarter pick-and-roll defense got scrambled would be a grand understatement.)   But in the end, the Lakers pulled off the victory, which combined with a Warriors loss, has them sitting at the nine seed 2.5 games ahead of Golden State, and 2.5 behind Dallas/Sacto. A challenging but still winnable road trip awaits, and it would be nice to see the Lakers really put away a quality opponent. But the bottom line is they're stacking wins of late, and at least giving themselves a shot at climbing the standings as the season reaches its end.   Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Segment 1: How the Lakers scored 150... and gave up 145.

It was not exactly the sort of inspired, confidence building effort the Lakers probably hoped for, but in the end it was enough for LA to get what it needed—a win.  They beat the visiting, and badly slumping, Philadelphia 76ers 101-94 Friday night at the Crypt.  The game was tight throughout, until down the stretch when the Lakers pushed the pedal down a little harder than the Sixers could manage. There were some notable performances, starting with Anthony Davis and his 23/19 line. Spencer Dinwiddie had his best game as a Laker (by a lot), playing high end defense while chipping in with 11 points in 23 minutes.  There were even more subpar ones, however. LeBron James was inefficient and a turnover machine (TK overall). D'Angelo and Rui Hachimura weren't exactly models of consistent production, either. Outside of Dinwiddie's points, the Lakers had only five more from the bench. And they turned the ball over 28,502 times. Ok, it was only 21, but that's a lot, and it's what kept a vastly inferior team in the game.  But, in the end, the Lakers go tthe win they needed, and even gained a game on Golden State after the Warriors took a surprising home loss to the Pacers (who will be in LA to face the Lakers on Sunday). Every bit of breathing room over the Warriors in the 9/10 battle matters, and meanwhile the Lakers kept the dream of moving up alive.  In the spirit of that other big basketball event happening around the country, survive and advance.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

The Lakers still have designs on moving up in the Western Conference, and the narrowest of windows in which to get it done. There are opportunities. The Suns, for example, have an insanely brutal schedule over their last 10 games, and the Lakers do own the tiebreaker against Phoenix. Sacramento is still in reach, and has a harder schedule than LA. But if the Lakers want to make any of this happen - and want to avoid the possibility of dropping to 10th, or even worse, open the door for a red hot Houston Rockets team, tonight's game at home against a moribund Philadelphia 76ers is simply one they should win, and must win. Must, must, must.  Must.  And it's those "should win" games where the Lakers have tended to struggle, playing down to the level of competition.  Can't happen tonight.  Meanwhile, the Lakers announced that Jalen Hood-Schifino will undergo a procedure to repair a disc issue in his back, and while no timetable was announced, it would certainly figure that he'll miss a good chunk of time, possibly the rest of the year. No impact on the big club... which really is the jumping off point for the conversation. That losing Hood-Schifino makes no difference for their fortunes shines a light on the decision to draft him in the first place over players more capable of playing an NBA role as rookies.  But that question - did they draft the right guy for THIS year, is a different one than whether Hood-Schifino is a bust. It's waaaaay too early for that. And meanwhile, his stats with South Bay are actually quite good. It's just a shame his season has been so short, both because he's been injured a lot and because the Lakers couldn't send him to the G-League nearly as much as they wanted because of the injury to Gabe Vincent.  Finally, a great question from a viewer on the YT page: With Cam Reddish back, would it make sense to put him in the starting lineup in order to boost the defense, and bring some scoring to the second unit?    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY  SEGMENT 1: The Lakers must win on Friday. There's just no way around it.    SEGMENT 2: Hood-Schifino needs back surgery, which opens up the debate about drafting him in the first place.    SEGMENT 3: Would a change in the lineup make sense?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

It's a day of problems, here at Locked On Lakers.  On Wednesday's show, the the long run of injuries was a major focus, with a lot of attention paid to sorting out who might be coming back from injury and when, and what that means for the Lakers as they try to win games. For today, there is some injury-related news—Cam Reddish practiced Wednesday and is expected to be back for Friday's game against Philadelphia, giving the Lakers some badly needed defensive presence and size on the wing—but the conversation turned towards the guys who take care of the players.  This year has been very problematic for the team, outside of the two guys (LeBron James, Anthony Davis) who everyone expected would miss a ton of games. Of course, those guys have their own dudes responsible for their health... which could point more towards the training staff, because seemingly everyone else on the roster has been busted and broken throughout the year. On the other, James and Davis have long had their own guys, and have struggled mightily to stay on the floor in the seasons prior to this one.  So many guys seem to have come back from injuries, only to have to sit down again. Or start off with something that is might seem relatively minor or short term, and three weeks later that same player is going under the knife. Is that a misdiagnosis? Or just the right-minded effort to try and make the player better without surgical intervention?  It can feel like the Lakers don't have the best of the best, even if it's hard to pinpoint exactly what the shortcomings are. Certainly by reputation the Lakers aren't known for spending big in support areas.  Meanwhile, Spencer Dinwiddie says he's being graded on a Dinwiddie-sized set of expectations, but is playing a Reggie Bullock type role. Is he right?    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY SEGMENT 1: Do the Lakers have a problem with their training staff?  SEGMENT 2: How do you know if a training staff is good?  SEGMENT 3: The Lakers seem like they have a Dinwiddie problem. Is it the player or what the player is being asked to do?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Many things related to the ability of the Lakers to make a run at the end of the year, and potentially into the playoffs, have to do with knowing who might be available to play.  To that end, Monday was a fairly instructive day... kinda, sorta. We did learn, though not from the team, that PF/C Christian Wood's knee is going to keep him out weeks longer, possibly through the end of the season. So that's not good. There was conflicting information about Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt. While some reports said that both would miss the rest of the year, others noted that Vincent expects to play again and is working his way back. For his part, Darvin Ham spoke about both in a manner that implied the team is expecting both to suit up before the end of the season. Clearly, though, Vanderbilt is further behind than Vincent. And what do the Lakers do with Vincent when he's back? On the one hand, with Spencer Dinwiddie not quite panning out as expected, the Lakers could potentially kick the tires on Vincent, despite having only played five games this year. On the other, they really don't have the luxury of experimentation at this point.  Regardless, the absence of Wood leaves them with only one other true big on the roster, and that one (Jaxson Hayes) has his limitations. This does tilt the roster smaller and plays away from theoretical strengths, while shining a light on potential shortcomings (like rebounding).  Finally, LeBron James is on a new podcast with JJ Redick, and it's made for basketball nerds. Like, really nerdy. But a fun listen, because it's a great window into one of the things that truly separates LeBron from... well, everyone. The man's hoops IQ is off the charts, and when combined with his drive and physical gifts, you get arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are getting players back... sort of.  SEGMENT 2: Figuring out what to do with guys as they return isn't as simple as it sounds.  SEGMENT 3: LeBron's brain.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

On Monday, we discussed how the Lakers were entering a critical stretch of games that could make or break the quest to, at minimum, maintain the nine seed in the play-in standings, if not actually rise higher. Why? Because most of these games, starting with tonight's against Atlanta, are against bad opponents. Thus, it was critical to immediately bag a win. Well, 136-105 over the Hawks certainly fits that bill.   Just as importantly, Anthony Davis returned to the lineup after leaving Saturday's loss to the Warriors with an eye injury. He'd been listed as questionable leading up to the game, and there had been some worries about whether, at minimum, he wouldn't be able to suit up for his one. Instead, he dominated to the tune of 22/15/6. In the meantime, D'Angelo Russell's 27 points featured six made threes, tying him with Nick Van Exel for the franchise's single season for record three-pointers. Throw in nice performances from LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves and Max Christie, and the Lakers cruised to victory.   What to make it of all moving forward? Andy talks with special guest Claire de lune (@Clairempls), who covers the NBA for The Guardian.   HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, special guest Claire de lune.   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get an easy but critical win over the Hawks.     SEGMENT 2: D'Angelo Russell ties a Lakers franchise record, indicative of a storm he's weathered.   SEGMENT 3: Claire has some issues with how the Lakers are covered in the national media.

The Lakers had a lousy weekend. Saturday's game was marred by an eye injury to Anthony Davis, one that has him listed as questionable for tonight's game at home vs. Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Lakers lost to Golden State, and the entire league suffered thanks to some horrible delays in replay work and a malfunctioning shot clock. I really was an ugly evening, all around.  Now, though, the Lakers find themselves in 10th place in the West, with some chance still to move up (at least to nine, if they can win some games, since they still have one more against the Warriors), and if it's going to happen, it'll be over the next stretch of games, all but a couple of which are against not just middling teams, but genuinely bad ones. Again, starting tonight with Atlanta.  The Lakers need to win these games not just because of seeding, but because nearly 70 games in, we're still not at a place where the Lakers can say they've ripped off eight wins in a row, or 10 of 12, or something that indicates a level of sustained excellence, and teams that can't do that don't win championships.  Of course, some wonder if that championship window has already been closed. Has the title era for LeBron and AD already passed? Was last year their last best shot? Did it close with the Westbrook deal? Are the Lakers in position to make the kind of improvements that are so clearly needed in order to rise to the level of the Denvers of the world?  Lots of questions to answer, even while the season carries on.  HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers must, must, MUST take advantage of this soft portion of the schedule if they want to move up at all in the West (and avoid letting the Rockets creep up any closer).    SEGMENT 2: Has the LeBron/Davis window closed?    SEGMENT 3: Have the Lakers really recovered from the Westbrook deal? Is it possible to build around LeBron at this stage of his career?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

As far as Saturdays go, this was not a good one for the Lakers.  They lose 128-121 at home to the Golden State Warriors, in a game that was filled with frustrating reviews, shot clock problems and a first quarter eye-poke to Anthony Davis that forced him from the game. And it puts the Lakers in 10th place in the conference, with time running very short to remedy that predicament. (And not to be alarmist, the 11th-seeded Houston Rockets are red hot and creeping up, so even the 10th seed isn't guaranteed at the moment.)  The Lakers played hard and did what they could to try and hold off the Warriors, who (of couse!) welcomed Steph Curry back to the lineup. LeBron James had 40 points on 15-23 from the floor, and D'Angelo Russell added 23. Jaxson Hayes stepped in with 12 rebounds, and Rui Hachimura was 7-10 from the floor. But any time the Lakers got close in the second half, the Warriors would make a push. And eventually, the Lakers ran out of time and space.  If Davis misses any games going forward, the Lakers are in a tough spot. Already shorthanded, it would be hard to absorb his absence for any meaningful amount of time.  All in all, an ugly night. For the league, whose television product suffered greatly for a national audience, and the Lakers, who really needed a win.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

The Lakers, after losing Wednesday in Sacramento, are running out of ways to make progress in the Western Conference playoff race. They currently sit in ninth, and while the literal number of games by which they trail the teams in front of them isn't crazy, it's big enough that with 15 games to go, making up ground will be tricky.  Especially since the Lakers only own a tiebreaker on Phoenix, who are three games in front of them heading into Thursday's games. They're a game up on Golden State for 10th.  It's starting to look like the Lakers could be locked into the 9/10 slots, and if they're not careful, 10 becomes more likely. A lot could be cleared up on Saturday when the Lakers take on the Warriors at Staples. A win puts LA in the driver's seat to host the 9/10 game. A loss makes it much more likely to play that game on the road, and therefore win two games away from the Crypt in order to advance to the big boy playoffs.  One big reason for the team's inconsistency of late is Anthony Davis, who isn't playing poorly by any stretch, but in March hasn't dominated the way he has for most of the season. Scoring and efficiency are both down, and the difference makes a huge impact on the Lakers, who need Davis to be playing at the first-team All NBA level he's been at for most of the season.  Finally, D'Angelo Russell created a stir this week after Dave McMenamin at ESPN posted a great story https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39703917/dangelo-russell-journey-lakers-trade-chip-clutch-hero-ready-studied-test about Russell's arc as a Laker, from his arrival last year, though a rough end to the playoffs, and into this season trying to build a relationship with Darvin Ham.

The Lakers were game for a half, in both effort and (general) execution. In the second half, at least one of those things stopped. The Lakers were held to 17 third quarter points, which allowed Sacramento to turn a reasonable four point lead at the half into a far more comfortable 15 point cushion heading into the final period.  The offense for LA really cratered as the game went along, scoring only 17 points in the third. Individual performances weren't much to write home about. Austin Reaves was great early, scoring 11 of the team's first 13 points. he finished with 28. Rui Hachimura had 20, on 9-11 from the floor (though a lot of that was front loaded into the opening half). But aside from that?  Well, D'Angelo Russell didn't have a field goal until the fourth quarter (finishing with six points overall). The bench was again problematic, scoring only 13 points as a group, including a grand total of zero points from Spencer Dinwiddie, across 20 minutes of play. Anthony Davis was inefficient, and again outplayed by Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis. LeBron James may have finished with 18/13/9, but was even less efficient than Davis, missing 10 of his  shots.  With the loss, the Lakers fail to gain a game on Dallas, or put a little more room between themselves and the 10th place Warriors, who lost on Wednesday night, without Steph Curry in the lineup.  The Lakers aren't going to win often when their stars are this inefficient. Not against decent teams, at least.  Plenty to unpack!      HOSTS: BRIAN KAMENETZKY, WITH SPECIAL GUEST ALEX REGLA   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers lose. To the Kings.

The Lakers have struggled with the Kings for a while now, and a big part of that is the success Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis has had against Anthony Davis.  Why has Sabonis (who certainly has success against... most everyone) fared so well against A.D.? Why have the Kings fared so well against the Lakers, generally? How can the Lakers turn it around tonight in Sacramento, a huge game for LA in their effort o move out of the ninth spot in the Western Conference? To talk about all of that and more, we're joined by Matt George, host of Locked On Kings and an anchor at KXTV ABC10 in Sacramento.  George has some suggestions for the Lakers in tonight's game and explains why he still thinks the Lakers would be a nightmare matchup for the Kings in the postseason, even in a single-elimination Play-In game held up north.  In many ways, the Kings and Lakers have had similar paths this year. Both vaguely disappointing (or maybe not so vaguely...) but way too good to write off. There's still the potential there for good things to happen, especially with the right matchup in the playoffs. Or at least that's the perception around the Lakers. Does the same hold true for Sacramento? What are the matchups in the Western Conference that could make seeding effectively an afterthought?  It's a great conversation about Pacific Division and Western Conference hoops with one of the best hosts on the network.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY  SEGMENT 1: Why have the Kings had their way with LA of late?    SEGMENT 2: What can the Lakers do differently to attack the Kings? What's the recipe for success against Sacramento this season?  SEGMENT 3: Looking at the Western Conference.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Remember when the Lakers had a terrible, terrible offense, and the only way they could score was in transition or at the free throw line?  Well, that's not an issue anymore.  The Lakers have, particularly since reconfiguring the starting lineup (again), been one of the best offensive teams in the NBA. In every category that matters, and it's not something fueled by what some critics call "junk" offense. (Meaning, living at the line.) Over their last 15 games, the Lakers have posted the following:  __ __ This is good work. And its with the bench producing virtually nothing, as of late. The main source (by expectation, at least) of scoring would be Spencer Dinwiddie, but he's not been giving the Lakers points to speak of. But why? Dinwiddie has said he's just trying to fit in on a team with a well-established pecking order. But maybe he's trying a little too hard? His usage rating is lower than Jaxson Hayes, who isn't allowed to dribble.  Can the Lakers get him going?  Are there other signs, though, that the Lakers might have a good team buried under a relatively mediocre record? Is the schedule finally opening up?  And why, oh why, couldn't the Lakers have hired statue makers who can proofread their work?   HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers offense is on fire. Why? Will it last?  SEGMENT 2: Can the Lakers fix Spencer Dinwiddie?  SEGMENT 3: Seriously, who proofread the Kobe statue?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Minnesota came into Sunday's game against the Lakers at the Crypt down two of their bigs - Karl Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. That meant Anthony Davis was in position to, and NEEDED to, dominate.  And dominate he did.  AD's final line—27 points, 25 rebounds, five assists, seven steals—is one that has never been posted before. Nobody has ever had 25 points, 25 rebounds, five dimes and five assists. Not in one game, at least. And just for fun, he finished only two blocks shy of a 5x5. And in the process, the Lakers, who controlled the action either by playing well themselves or turning the ball over so Minnesota could make some runs, got a huge 120-109 win over the Wolves,  The Lakers are now back to six games over .500, a game (minus the tiebreaker) behind Dallas, and 1.5 behind Sacramento (again, tiebreaker not included) and are nearing the end of their absurdly challenging run of games (after which it morphs back simply into a conventionally challenging run of games. Davis was so good, he made LeBron's 29/8/9 feel like an afterthought. 19/6/4 from Austin Reaves might as well not have happened.  It was a very strong weekend for the Lakers, overrall, coming off big wins over the Bucks and now the Wolves, and having recently knocked off the Thunder, too. And now they have only one game—Wednesday in Sacramento—between now and Saturday against Golden State. That could  big a pretty big deal for a team with banged up stars.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get a big win behind an absurd line from Anthony Davis.    SEGMENT 2: The Lakers got what they needed, but are staying too sloppy.    SEGMENT 3: Huge win with a "restable" week ahead.   SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Well that was improbable, and it was amazing.  Playing without LeBron James, and with a one-armed Anthony Davis (who hurt his left shoulder early in the second half, but finished the game despite not being able to lift his left arm in any meaningful way) the Lakers registered a 123-122 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference.  There have been a few moments this year when the Lakers, who have had some maddening collapses and failures, the most recent on Wednesday against the Kings, came through with wins built primarily on heart and effort. Winning in Boston without LeBron and AD, and this one being the most prominent.  44 points, a career high, from D'Angelo Russell, who hit the game winner. A game-clinching block from Spencer Dinwiddie on Damian Lillard, forcing him right and stuffing the stepback. A key 3-pointer from Rui Hachimura. Big energy from Jaxson Hayes. 18 points from Austin Reaves. Everyone who played did something to contribute. But nobody, of course, did more than Russell.  What a game! With the win, the Lakers move back into ninth, and keep the critical eighth spot within reach. It doesn't get much easier from here, but the Lakers still have some life from a seeding perspective. Hopefully the injury news (on James and Davis) isn't too bad.  HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

There was A LOT to unpack following Wednesday's epic, and extremely costly, collapse against the Sacramento Kings at the Crypt, one that fundamentally changed the arc of the season for the Lakers. A win didn't guarantee anything, but would have been a big boost to aspirations of finishing higher in the Western Conference, whether at the good end of the play in bracket, or even moving up to a top six position.  With that loss, those dreams are basically shot. The Lakers could, with a strong push, maybe get to the eight. Anything higher than that feels unlikely, especially with the schedule in front of them.  After, there were some fractures visible. LeBron James pointed to Anthony Davis's second foul as a turning point. The subtext - this stuff is happening too much lately, and needs to stop. Most folks pointed to a Lakers defense that totally collapsed, which points fingers at Davis, who pointed them back at the coaching staff for a scheme he felt the Kings were consistently exploiting and leaving him in positions to fail. Where he's not normally willing to even open the door to publicly criticizing the coaching staff, on Wednesday he did.  All of this points to lingering tensions between Darvin Ham and the locker room that, while periodically tamped down by better stretches of play, clearly can't be considered healed. And it's hard to believe after 64 games, that's going to change all that much.  Meanwhile, Davis also had some interesting things to say about seeding, after the Lakers won against Oklahoma City earlier in the week. In a lot of ways, those comments tie in nicely to what was said after the Sacramento game, and point to some fundamental truths about this team.    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky   SEGMENT 1: Did AD put some daylight between himself and Darvin Ham?    SEGMENT 2: What's different about this year and last, when looking at Darvin's work.    SEGMENT 3: What did AD mean when he said the Lakers don't care about their seed?    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

The Lakers didn't just lose to Sacramento by 10 at home Wednesday night at the Crypt. They played almost the exact opposite game as the other night against Oklahoma City, getting up by as much as 19 in the first quarter before giving up the lead and much, much more.  It's the basketball embodiment of the "How it started, how it's going" meme.  By the time the game reached the half, the Lakers were down 15, and never put it back into single digits.  After, LeBron James pointed to Anthony Davis picking up his second foul, and that opened the floodgates. The disappointment in the locker room was palpable. Davis talked about the importance of this game, calling it a "must win," and to give up that kind of lead is unquestionably frustrating. But so was Davis's performance. We pointed to his matchup against Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis as the key one heading in, and in this case Sabonis got the best of him. Davis was 5-13. Sabonis, 7-13 with 20 rebounds and 12 assists.  Needless to say, the 26 points scored by Malik Monk off the bench were more than the Lakers reserves scored as a team.  Meanwhile, LeBron James had to leave the game early, struggling with the same ankle that he's been dealing with all year long. He didn't seem hyper concerned about it after the game, but it's hard to know until he wakes up on Thursday, and sees how things feel. It's go time, and the Lakers can't afford an extended absence from James, who was awesome on Wednesday, with 31 points, five rebounds and 13 assists.  So now, the Lakers have lost the tiebreaker against Sacramento, and lose a game to them in the standings.

The Lakers may not have been playing truly inspired basketball, the kind that gets fans and media fired up and primed for the postseason, but they have, save that putrid stretch following the In-Season Tournament, won more than they've lost. Now, coming off a very impressive home win over the conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, the Lakers face another test against a playoff-caliber team.  But this time, the Sacramento Kings come in weaker than LA, having been in a weeks long semi-slump that has dropped them into the back half of the playoff bracket, only 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers.  This is a big opportunity for the Lakers to gain ground on a vulnerable squad, and give themselves a shot to hold the tiebreaker over the Kings, which could obviously come in handy by the end of the year. Lose, and that goes out the window (Sacramento won the first two games of the season series, with both games coming very early in the year). So what do the Lakers need to watch out for? Start with three point shooting. The Kings take a ton of them, but some of their best shooters (De'Aaron Fox, Keegan Murray) are in big slumps right now. They need to keep it that way. In strength vs. weakness, the Kings both tend to put teams on the line a lot, and don't get there much themselves. That plays into strengths on both sides for LA they will certainly look to exploit.  But fundamentally, we're going to spend a lot of time talking about Domantas Sabonis vs. Anthony Davis, because the Lakers need the OKC version of AD, as opposed to the Denver edition. But Sabonis is a matchup much closer to Nikola Jokic than Chet Holmgren.  Finally... some good news about Gabe Vincent! He might be back faster than some expected. So what will the Lakers do with him once he returns?    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY    SEGMENT 1: Huge huge huge huge game against Sacramento tonight at the Crypt. AD needs to be big, again.  SEGMENT 2: What to watch for. How can the Lakers exploit Sacramento's weaknesses? SEGMENT 3: What happens when Vincent returns? Because it's looking like he might, via Shams!    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

For about six minutes Monday night at the Crypt, it looked like the Lakers were in a world of trouble, hosting the West-best Oklahoma City Thunder. But then they stopped turning the ball over (or at least not as much), started hitting some shots, moving the ball, and most importantly, playing some high level defense.  By the 1:32 mark of the first quarter, the game was tied, and from there the Lakers never trailed. By halftime, they were up nine. After the break, they won the third quarter by eight, and at one point in the fourth  led by 25.  Anthony Davis bounced back with a dominant game inside, against a team that has struggled to contain him all year. But much of LA's offensive production seemed to come from crazy stuff happening, and the Davis managing to clean it up underneath. He finished with 24 points, including 11 trips to the line, plus 12 rebounds and three blocks. D'Angelo Russell had five 3-pointers, Austin Reaves had four in five tries, and played some very impressive defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. LeBron James had 11 rebounds and eight assists. And finally some bench production again, as Taurean Prince chipped in with 14.  But the story of this one was defense. The Lakers held the Thunder to under 40% from the floor, and even if OKC was missing some chippies, overall the Lakers really elevated what they were doing, and put a tremendous amount of pressure on the Thunder after those first few minutes.  This was a very meaningful win for the Lakers, who need to rack up some wins against the league's best teams if they want to move up in the West. And, to be honest, they probably need these wins to keep showing themselves what's still possible this year.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: Slow start, strong finish as the Lakers knock off OKC.    SEGMENT 2: Anthony Davis bounces back big, plays a very physical game Monday night.  SEGMENT 3: The defense steps up.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Saturday's loss to Denver was a frustrating one for Lakers fans (and Lakers players, and Lakers coaches) because it followed a pattern that has been well-established in games between LA and Denver - namely one where the Lakers play well, stay close, and then get totally outclassed in the final five minutes of the game.  It's super annoying!  But with the Lakers staring down another six consecutive games against playoff caliber opponents (including the high seeded and/or red hot variety) it's important to think of any positives they can pull, because they're going to need the good stuff to continue in order to find the level of success required to navigate these games, starting tonight against Oklahoma City at the Crypt.  Now the Lakers actually match up reasonably well against the Thunder, especially when everyone is healthy. So despite the fact that the Thunder currently lead the conference by percentage points over Minnesota, this is a winnable game. Not a gimme by any stretch, but winnable. Especially if Anthony Davis is more aggressive offensively than he was against the Nuggets.  This, of course, if the Lakers can navigate some of the questionable decisions Darvin Ham has made of late. We review some  in the Denver game. Did the common criticisms (sitting D'Angelo Russell for most of the 4th, slow timeout trigger, etc.)  have a little more logic behind them with a day or so to marinate?    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY SEGMENT 1: Passive Anthony Davis can't happen again.  SEGMENT 2: The flawed logic of sitting D'Angelo Russell so much of the fourth quarter.  SEGMENT 3: The Lakers need a lot more from Spencer Dinwiddie.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

The NBA saw a bit of history, as LeBron James, who sets a record with every bucket, became the first player in league history to score 40,000 points.  It was a good night overall for James, who finished 26 points, nine dimes and three steals. Rui Hachimura was fantastic offensively, scoring an efficient 23 points (10-15 shooting). Austin Reaves had 19 points and a career high 14 dimes. Overall, the Lakers got some production from D'Angelo Russell, as well.  But where they fell short in a 124-114? In the battle of the stars, Nikola Jokic provided more offensively than Anthony Davis. The Lakers bench scored a grand total of 12 points. Michael Porter Jr. was 10-10 for Denver. They were out-rebounded 47-31. And down the stretch, when possessions are precious and high leverage, the Lakers were absolutely smoked by the Nuggets. Which has been the pattern over and over and over, no matter who is in the lineup for either team. The Lakers were up 110-108 with 4:11 to play, and were outscored 16-4 the rest of the way.  For much of the game, it was encouraging to see the Lakers play well, including a top shelf first half offensively. But if the Lakers are going to get some badly needed wins in this stretch of brutally difficult matchups, they have to close.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Well, they won.  That's about the only big positive free to take from Thursday's 134-131 OT win over the Wizards at The Crypt. Anthony Davis had 40 points to go with 15 boards and three blocks, LeBron was great in the OT and throughout, really, finishing with 31/4/9, along with a crucial chase down block on Jordan Poole. D'Angelo Russell kicked in with 22. But Washington came into the game (and left it) winless in Feburary, and have now lost 12 straight.  Needing an extra bit of hoop time to beat them is nothing to be proud of.  And now, things are going to get much harder. The next seven games include teams that are red hot, at the top of the playoff ladder in the Western Conference, or both, with the possible exception of the slumping Sacramento Kings. The Lakers will need to play significantly better over the next two-plus weeks than they did on Thursday, or even through three quarters against the Clippers.  They've won nine of 12, which by any standard is excellent, but it'll take good wins over good teams to make people feel better about what the Lakers might do going forward. The opportunity is there, with all but one of these games (@Sacramento) taking place at home, where the Lakers are 21-9 on the year.  Friend of the Show Harrison Faigen of SB Nation fame stops by to hang out.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY, WITH GUEST HARRISON FAIGEN!    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers win, but it doesn't feel great.     SEGMENT 2: Does anyone feel really confident about their chances right now, despite winning nine of 12?   SEGMENT 3: A wide open West.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

Well, that was amazing.  The Lakers were thoroughly outclassed for three-quarters of Wednesday's "road" game against the Clippers at the Crypt. After Mason Plumlee scored the opening points of the fourth, the Lakers were down 21 points, and seemingly out of it. Nobody told LeBron James, however.  He went absolutely bonkers from there, finishing with 19 points and five three's in the final quarter to eat up the deficit and more. Overall, the Lakers outscored the Clippers 39-16. It started with sustained defensive effort and then resulted in shot after shot after shot, mostly from James but also D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis and even Cam Reddish, who had an important triple as well.  It was a game that may have rescued the team's chances to move up in the Western Conference before the end of the season. Like the Boston game, which kicked off the team's most recent stretch of high end play, this one has a chance to be a pivot point should things turn out the way Lakers fans hope when it's all said and done.  This was certainly one of those moments where the greatness of a LeBron performance is made even greater by the context. Remember, we're talking about a 39-year old star.    HOSTS: ANDY AND BRIAN KAMENETZKY   SEGMENT 1: What did we just witness?    SEGMENT 2: Appreciating the moment.    SEGMENT 3: The Lakers recognize the need to win on tonight vs. Washington.    SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

The Lakers face a critical game tonight against the Clippers, and it comes at a time when the vibes again have turned ominous and the team needs to change the conversation almost as much as it needs wins for practical reasons. The schedule over the next few weeks (and through the end of the year, really) is brutal. Teams are starting to elevate their play, and based on what we've seen so far since the ASB, the Lakers aren't prepared to keep up.  But as we've learned throughout the year, sometimes a team is just 48 minutes away from changing the mood considerably. The Lakers will get a crack at a Clippers team playing without Paul George, and that quietly is suffering through a down patch of their own.  The Lakers should have Anthony Davis (though he skipped practice Tuesday with an upper respiratory issue, he's probable for tonight) and Cam Reddish, who adds size to the wing against a team where that sort of thing is very, very useful. Can Davis avoid the early foul trouble that's plagued him of late? Can the Lakers keep Ivica Zubac off the glass?  These are key questions. As is the one about the lack of production of late from the supporting cast. The Lakers need more. Much more, from some (think Spencer Dinwiddie). Overall, a disappointing group needs to find its stride quickly. This, likely is the team the Lakers will have going forward, aside from the hopeful return of Christian Wood over the next week or two.  Finally, Bronny James was dropped from ESPN's Mock Draft for this summer. No surprise, given the context, but still noteworthy and something that prompted a response from his pop. What to make of it? And what does any of this have to do with LeBron's future in LA, which according to reports James might want to extend longer than folks expected?    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky   SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a huge game against the Clippers.    SEGMENT 2: Can the supporting cast step up? Can the Lakers clean up the glass?  SEGMENT 3: Bronny and Bron, and Bron's future in LA.  SUPPORT US BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!
