It's game day. It's Lakers versus Celtics. I know everybody's not feeling great about the Lakers right now,

but it's always a big deal when it's Lakers versus Celtics. We're going to talk a little bit about tonight's matchup. We'll also talk about what's going on in the Lakers locker room. Ms. Darvindham lost the locker room. We need to talk a bit about the trade deadline as well. Plus, we'll dive into the mailbag on today's show. All of that coming up here before I get to everything, though. If you haven't done so yet, make sure you're subscribing to the Lakers Nation YouTube channel. Turn on those notifications too.
