Hello, everybody. Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com. If you're joining me live over on the AMP app, welcome. I'll be taking callers in just a bit. Be talking Lakers basketball here tonight.

Obviously, an important stretch of the season coming up. The most important stretch.

In fact, LeBron even called it the most important 23 games of the regular season in his

career. Oh boy, we've got a lot to talk about tonight. What are the Lakers going to be able to do

over this stretch? Can they get themselves back in the playoff mix? We'll take a look at that.

Take a look at some of Darwin Ham's recent comments coming out of practice revolving around the

starting five.

LeBron, his injury situation currently.

Also talk a little bit about what the Lakers can potentially do in order to break back into the playoff mix.

If you're watching over on YouTube, welcome, make sure that you do subscribe, turn on those notifications as well. And of course, podcast listeners over on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever it is that you listen to podcasts. Do me a favor. Toss in that review five stars, preferably. Love going through there and reading the reviews over on Apple Podcasts. Again, appreciate all of you. Take a few moments and leave us a review over there on Apple Podcasts. All right. I do have a number of you joining live right now over on the AMP app. I am going to open up calling in just a moment. Before I get to that, if you're listening on AMP, I always kick off the show with a song, lets everybody come in while you're listening. One of the great things about AMP gives us access to all of this music.

You're not going to hear that over on the podcast side or the YouTube side.

But over on AMP, we start with the song.

And for tonight's show, I played a cover of Don't Stop Believe It.

And yeah, that classic Journey song.

This was a cover by Halicene, first to 11, Lauren This was covered by Hallesine.

First to 11, Lauren Babich.

They do a fantastic job.

I don't recall Violet Orlando was on that one or not.

She frequently does guest on some of their songs.

But they did a fantastic job covering that song.

And I think this is just the, this is the theme now for Lakers fans at this moment. Don't stop believe it. We've seen it over the course of the season. Even before the trade deadline, we've seen there was a spark there with this team. There were these moments where they looked really good. And you thought, man, if they just didn't start two and ten, this team is right there. This team is of the same quality as some of the other squads in the West.

They should be right there in the middle of the pack, in the mix of the playoff
