0:00.0	Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast. I am Trevor Lane, special weekend
0:06.1	edition of the show. It's game day. We've got Lakers, wolves tonight. Can the Lakers keep the good
0:12.8	vibes rolling after they got that big win against the Milwaukee Bucks? Thank you. DeAngelo
0:18.1	Russell, 44 points in that one. What a performance from him.
0:21.9	Now another test tonight against the wolves and will the Lakers even be at, well,
0:27.4	as close to 100% as they can be right now.
0:30.0	Anthony Davis, LeBron James, their status still in question.
0:33.5	We're going to get into that.
0:34.4	Plus take a look at the standings.
0:36.2	I've got to open up the mailbag as well. And take a peek at the Lakers' strength of schedule from here on out because things are changing just a little bit. Before I dive in, quick reminder, if you're over on the YouTube channel right now, make sure you subscribe, turn on those notifications, going to keep you up to date on everything going on with the playoff hunt and the off
0:54.3	season for the lakers so again hit that subscribe button if you wouldn't mind check out our membership
0:59.1	program as well pretty cool program have some new stuff coming out for channel members real
1:03.7	soon so click that join button and give that a look as well all right let's dive into it so
1:08.6	we actually got some good luck last night. Some good things
1:11.7	happened around the NBA. We saw both the sons and the Warriors lose their games. So let's
1:17.9	take a peek at what that does in the standings. Now, the Lakers, unfortunately, still in the
1:23.7	nine seat as of this moment in the nine seat, but they now have a one game lead on the
1:29.4	Golden State Warriors, which might matter. Again, you'd prefer to move up to the seven or eight
1:34.1	seat. Hell, realistically, you'd prefer to move up to the sixth seat. But after losing that game
1:38.8	to the Sacramento Kings the other day, that's going to be a pretty tall task to do. So the
1:43.3	Lakers would ideally want to be in the seven or eight seed, which is where the playing tournament is double elimination. You have two chances, basically, to punch your ticket to the playoffs if you're the seven or eight. If you're the nine or ten seed, it's single elimination. You lose once and you're done. Now, if you are forced to play in the nine or ten seed,
2:01.8	you would prefer to be the nine and at least have that game be at home. The 10 seed, not only
