You are locked on NBA, your daily NBA podcast, part of the

locked on podcast network, your team every day.

So I guess LeBron's not flipping bottles up and playing bottle

games in our arena tonight, huh? As a matter of fact, he's off the floor and going

to the locker room already. And welcome you are locked on to the NBA. My name is Nick

Engstead host of the lockdown Mavericks podcast and joining me as always the great Ben Goliver from the

Washington Post Ben what you got for me? You know plenty on this night you know a bunch of

games I think probably the headline in game is at West Conference

showdown between the Lakers and the Jazz.

I mean just another light 22 for 48 three-point shooting from the Utah Jazz and a game that was over fairly early.

Very convincing victory for them.

You know, Utah Jazz fans are probably a little bit upset that Mike Conley didn't get

named as either an All-Star reserve on Tuesday or as the injury replacement for Anthony Davis on

Wednesday. They're absolutely rolling right now 26 and 6. I think they're the

kind of the story of the season and for the Lakers you know I'm not going to be one who's who's getting

into concern trolling stuff I think you know it's kind of patience is the order of the day right now during

Anthony Davis's replacement but sorry during injury, but at the same time, I mean, you're not feeling great about how the last week went. If you're a Laker fan, you're seeing all sorts of flaws that you're not used to seeing and you know, you're probably feeling a little bit more anxious than you thought

you would be with the mid-season break approaching here pretty soon.

David Locke, who is the founder of the Lockdown Podcast Network, my boss, and is usually sitting in this chair talking to you.

He just must be high on like, just jazz three-point basketball.

He just, he probably doesn't even have to drink to feel like that buzz right like there's just the way this team is playing

They're going absolutely insane every meeting that I have with him he he talks about the jazz and talks trash and it's just like another level that I just haven't seen before
