Hello, Lakers Nation.

Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

Live, I am Trevor Lane, and we're going live a few minutes earlier

because I can't wait to talk about that game that we just saw.

Oh, my God, Nick's Pacers, that was unbelievable.

I thought the Pacers were, I mean, dead and buried,

thought that was over.

And somehow, the third time in the playoffs,

the Pacers launched an insane comeback.

Go to overtime.

I thought it was over regulation on that.

And say the high bounce three. Oh my God. What an unbelievable game. So I thought we would get to chat a little bit about that. Plus talk about all the different Lakers topics we have to get into. Thank you, everybody, for joining the show. Appreciate all of you for being here. But guess what? I'm not alone. No, I'm not. Joining me tonight. It's my guy. Matt the optimist Peralta. Matt, how you

doing? Trevor, pretty good. All things considering, you know, do miss the Lakers in the playoffs,

but the teams remaining, I sure made it real fun. Yeah, I was just going to say, is there like a,

I was thinking about this literally right before we went on. That's why you and I have this mind meld here. I was just thinking to say, is there like a, I was thinking about this literally right before we went on.

That's why you and I have this mind meld here.

I was just thinking about this.

Is there like these playoffs have been really fun, really exciting.

But is there a ceiling on how exciting it can be because the Lakers aren't involved?

I mean, as a passionate Lakers fan myself, I think yes, because you would prefer that you're still rooting for your team to win a title. But I think given that all the teams, we would probably prefer not to win one or out, I think this is about as ideal scenario as you could possibly get. Yeah, right? I mean, this has been, been like, there's no Lakers. That hurts hurts that's obviously the most important thing but

no celtics no warriors no nuggets all those teams are got i'm good like this is yeah clippers

i should have mentioned them i guess i guess they're just forgettable it's the way they are um
