Welcome to speak. I'm Joy Taylor, joined by two legends, Super Bowl champion, Kishon Johnson, NBA Finals MVP.

Paul Pierce, happy Friday.

Hey, yes, that is correct.

We made it, y'all. We made it.

80 plus outside, we good. Flip-flops, we're straight.

Anytime the sun comes out, Paul gets real irritated that we do a show inside.

Man, I want to do this outside.

They start pacing the halls, talk about where it's the outside set.

It is nice in LA here today, and we're going to get out there soon.

But Keyes-Lakers have clinched a play-up spot and currently sits in the three-seat.

They can clinch the three-spot with a win tonight against the Rockets or a win on Sunday against the Blazers. So we're creeping towards the end of the season,

but there's a lot that is still on the line when we're talking about seating. So Key,

what do you need to see from your Lakers over the next two games?

Just really to get it done, clinch the third spot,

whether it's win the night against Houston

or win against Portland and then rest up.

That's really it.

You know, get into a, if they're gonna play,

whenever they play the five, get out early,

you know what I'm saying, get a nice lead cushion

so they can go to the reserves,

and then at that point see if the reserves can hold things together because I don't need to take any chances on anybody getting hurt, but we need to secure that third seed.
