Lakers news | “🏆 Lakers: A Championship Contender? Perk & Richard Analyze Lakers’ Playoff Potential
Today presented by in Credit Karma it’s t girl chano G filling in from Malik Andrews joined here by my Stanford sis Ramona shelburn and also beaming in across the country we’ve got Zack low who can we take a moment to admire his new suit I think that’s burgundy oh wow looking sharp
Zach what Zach look at you suited and booted today I like it he is and of course NBA Vet Austin Rivers and my people can you believe that the playoffs are just over a month away and we all know that the NBA world has their eyes
On the race in the wild wild rest I mean it is Rodeo season down in Houston Texas so let’s take a ride really quick let’s start with the Suns versus the Cavs now this is the third quarter Cavs up 7569 and KD that’s his spot Ramona I mean
Everywhere is his spot he Mr efficiency he is now it’s not just the midi the mid-range we’ve also got KD from three he’s been shooting a really great number almost career best from three and this was Durant’s fourth straight 35-point game the longest streak of his career
The Suns win 117 111 Durant had 378 and six now to the Mavs versus the Bulls 40 seconds left in the first quarter Mavs up big Luca donic talking about signature shots his step back that step back and he I mean you can’t even get
Close to him cuz he’s got his elbow out there and also you can’t get close to him because he knows how to throw a dime to Gafford for the lay in gaffard made 28 straight field goals in the past four games that’s the longest streak in play
By play history Rona now check this pass out though okay Lucas got it touchdown that straight up was unsell that it is dontis recorded his seventh straight triple double tying the longest streak in NBA history as the Mavs win 12792 Don 27 14 12 light work triple
Double let’s head to the Nuggets versus the Raptors the Nuggets were down 17 points at the half o just imagine the most at home this season and then there’s the hook shot you know something’s cooking yeah Michael Malone probably had something to say about that during the break very true and someone
Who also has jokic’s back Jamal Murray nice little bucket over there now we’re checking in where the nuggets are up 110 107 okay defense yic with the block you know that reputation on him is not a defensive player is way outdated o look at that pass the last couple years
Nuggets won 125 119 an insane stat from yic get this 35 points 17 rebounds 12 assists and six steals plus the win and the comeback yes that’s crazy now the nuggets the Suns and the Mavs all won last night so here’s how the West currently stands Denver remains a half
Game out of the top Spot while Phoenix is hanging on to sixth as for the Mavs they’re an eighth only a half only a game back of the Suns though now remember the team seated 7 through 10 will be in the playing tournament so let
Me kick it up the court since we saw so many great passes to Austin uh the playoffs are literally a month and two days away when you look at where the nuggets are do you think that they go up do you think that they go down or do you
Think that they stay in second I think the Nuggets close out strong here you know we’re talking about a championship caliber ball Club this is a team that has experience this is a team that knows when to turn it on when to turn it off and now that we’re past
All-Star break I expect nuggets to get back in that Championship form when we talk about the best starting lineups in basketball we always reference the Celtics and this team right here the Nuggets who we’ve seen have their way with the Celtics both meetings this seon
They are the favorite in my eyes to win the championship to go back and repeat they’re just that sound and their best player is the most sound player in basketball so when we talk about catching a young OKC team I think that’s very very possible and I think this is a
Team that can come back and you know to tenfold and and end up the season number one spot yeah today I really do agree that I believe the nuggets are the favorites and we do think I think that they could you know really get that top spot in the west now Ramona switching
Over to the Suns they’re hanging on to sixth only a game away from entering the play in situation where do you think that they finish you know it’s interesting they they’ve really they finally got all their their big three back Devin Booker Bradley Beal Kevin Durant and they’re and one of the issues
That they they’ve been working on all season long is defense like we know that those three guys can score we know they can put the ball in the hoop but defensively they’ve had issues all year long and I think Frank vogle has felt that they can actually be a much better
Defensive team if they get their guys back they play on a string part of good defense though is not turning the ball over they are one of the worst teams in the league get turning the ball over and he was asked last night is that because you don’t have a traditional point guard
And he said simply nope which is him saying we all need to take much better care of the ball because we we know those big three when they when they’re all together and they can they score that’s never going to be their problem is defensively can they lock down enough
That is true now looking at where Phoenix is at the six spot that is a sweet spot but I mean same amount of losses as the teams below them if you’re six does that mean you play the nuggets in the first round if nuggets get to one
Do you really want to be in that four or five game and have the nuggets in the second round it’s it’s interesting it’ll be an interesting last week as everyone starts to jockey for position look I would want to try to create as much buffer as possible no matter who I play
Against but Zach let’s talk about the Mavs because they have fallen into the playing situation at eth where do you think that they land in the grand scheme of things I think they’ve got a good chance to go up just because their schedule is easy and Phoenix’s schedule is brutal
And it may come down to those two teams for the sixth spot and think about the stakes you’re talking about two teams who have traded so much stuff to go all in right now trying to get out of or stay out of the play in also as Ramona
Said matchups are Paramount if you get up to six not only do you not do you escape the play in you might draw Minnesota trying to figure out life without Carl Anthony towns in the first round if Oklahoma City and Denver go one and two that is a world of difference
From six to seven and Dallas much like Phoenix all World offense just good enough defense they’re a very dangerous team on a game to game and short series basis because their offense is just that good Luca is just that good we just haven’t seen consistency on defense or
Consistency from the role players some nights they’re popping like last night when they can’t miss sometimes it feels like Luca and Kyrie are kind of going it alone hard to see them making a deep deep R in the playoffs but nobody wants any part of these dudes for one series
It must be look good feel good play good because Zach just said what’s popping I love that that six seed is looking like a precious commodity especially in the Western Conference but from the race at the top of the West how about to the race at the bottom because the Lakers
Are currently still in ninth place but they are creeping closer to the six seed thanks to their play this past weekend and speaking of that motto right uh future so bright you need Shades that’s LeBron James his future is already certified look at what does I mean we
Saw this earlier this you know no LeBron James DLo steps up in the biggest ways listen I was the only person on our said on Friday who said the Lakers will win this game because that man D’Angelo Russell when he has the ball in his
Hands and a green light all night can do things like he did with the 44 points the winning shot and Spencer didn’t with you with the block at the end yes that was a big play Russell 44 points as you mentioned his most as the Lakers the
Lakers win now let’s go to Sunday versus the Timberwolves LeBron James is back this time but it was Anthony Davis who went off I mean he could have a case for Defensive Player of the Year it’s hard to do that from sitting in the ninth spot in the west cuz it’s a team
Defensive award almost as much as an individual defensive award but he is playing like he should be in that conversation and I think he should get more consideration for that based on games like this correct look at him get that o board Lakers go up four and a few
Minutes later Lakers up 10 dish is the day okay and Son Davis finished with 27 points 25 rebounds and seven steals as the Lakers win 120 109 so the Lakers they had a very strong weekend winning both of their games but didn’t make up any ground with the teams directly ahead
Of them also winning so here’s their odds to what it could be looking like if they make the playoffs according to ESPN bet in analytics now Austin when we look at where the Lakers are what do you think is the most likely outcome for them this season we just saw that they
Have a 65% chance to make the playoffs we’re not talking about play in playoffs yeah it’s it’s hard to to dissect this team and like diagnose them and what their predict or what their future is going to be They just won two games this this this past weekend and
There’s no ground just because there’s only so many games left and everybody’s playing great basketball right now but listen if this is a team that can get in that S8 spot and win the playin and then end up playing a Timberwolves without a Carl towns you know that’s an outcome
That we’re not sure you know listen the Lakers are capable of beating any of these young teams I love Minnesota in the talent they bring I love o OKC in the talent they bring but these are teams that are yet to be proven yet especially in the postseason when we’re
Talking about LeBron James and Anthony Davis we’re talking about two former Champions we’re talking about guys who have done it together and a team that has a cast of role players who are dangerous in the playoff series Austin Reeves is only grown and then you have experienced players like Danel Russell
Tan Prince the list goes on this is not a team you want to talk about not playing first round you guys talked about Dallas the Lakers are not a team you want to be rewarded with first round when you’re going against a LeBron James and Anthony they was fully healthy yeah
But they really do not want to be in that ninth spot because that is one and done if you were in the ninth spot yes you would host theoretically the the play in game but that’s maybe against the Warriors because who are currently sit 10th if they can get up into 78 at
Least they have two games two shots at it for a LeBron James Anthony Davis d’ Angel Russell and I think we all said here on this show when right with they were approaching the trade deadline and D’Angelo Russell’s name was out there and he hadd been playing really well
Before the deadline and he played so well that he was not on in trade conversations towards the end because they flat out need him and the question was would he keep it up if he was still on the team afterwards he’s not only kept it up he’s taken a step forward
Because when he has the ball in his hand when his role is clarified and I think that’s the most important thing D’Angelo Russell is a point guard he is a scoring point guard but he can but he needs the ball in his hands and it’s actually been
Helpful to him when LeBron James is out because he has the ball more and his role is more defined yeah but the key is when LeBron James is on the floor how is he going to stay aggressive and knock down those outside shots I think that’s
Going to be the key factor to see the Lakers success if they’re able to make the playoffs and not play in in the foreseeable future but still to come right here on NBA today the reigning MVP looms large over the East we have the latest on Joel embiid’s road to recovery
Just one month to the playoffs plus a Edwards goes head-to-head with Kawhi Leonard tonight but do the Clippers vets still have control of the Wild Wild West when my favorite movies and the forecast is showing orange and blue skies New York is about to get a big boost that
Could upset the East that’s next right here on NBA Today for Foree foree For for spee For For spe Fore fore Foree fore fore Speech for
