We've got a great show for you today. We're going to be talking about the fallout from that epic Spurs Nuggets game from over the weekend and whether or not Janice is planning his eventual exit from Milwaukee. But we're going to start in Los Angeles because just when the Lakers thought their season was turning around, they get a bad break. Luca Donchich will miss the rest of the regular season with a hamstring injury, and then over the weekend it was reported that Austin Reeves is expected to miss several weeks because of an oblique injury. It's a tough break, obviously, as we get closer to the playoffs, and according to Lockdown Lakers, these injuries could be enough to cast some doubt on the Lakers in a potential first round series after it looked like this team could be a team that could make a run to the Western Conference Finals. Here's more from Lockdown Lakers. If this is, you know, a seven-game series in the first round between the Lakers and the Rockets, which is what I think we're going to get, I'm not picking the Lakers to win. No, I'm not. I'm going to pick the Rockets to win that series. For sure. But with that said, if you have to pick a team, like, that's one, like if I have to pick the Rockets, the, the, the, the clippers, the, you know, the, the timber wolves, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the world's, the, the, the world, the, the series, like, any of these teams, like, hoping for the the storybook LeBron has one more

playoff series in him because like so a lot to get to here J.J. Reddick told reporters on

Sunday that quote both of those guys are going to try to come back and it's our job

to extend to the season so that they can come

back end quote haze can they extend the season it's not looking very likely um they've already

had difficulty uh facing off against above 500 teams even with luca and austereves at time um i mean

anything is possible uh they're going to have to hope that lebron taps into, you know, the Fountain of Youth for a stretch there.

But I just don't see it happening.

Extending the season for that, and it's perfectly fine.

We already kind of knew.
