Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for Lakersnation.com. You're home for everything Lakers. This is the Lakersnation.com podcast. We're doing a call-in episode over on AMP. So if you are joining us on the AMP app, welcome in. I'm going to be opening up the call-in line in just a moment. We're going to be talking a little bit of Lakers versus Grizzlies.

The Lakers make it through. They are the seventh seed in the Western Conference and now

have a first-run matchup against the Grizzlies coming up. Games start on Sunday. This is

going to be a really interesting series to break down a lot going on for us to talk about in this

one. Not going to be an easy series in any way for the Los Angeles Lakers,

but I definitely think they've got a chance here.

Right now, the Grizzlies are a slight favorite in the series,

but the Lakers, you definitely can't count them out in this situation.

I'm going to go ahead and open up the call-in line,

and we can start bringing some people in here. You know, I looked ahead at the schedule and it's really favorable for the

Lakers. You've got four days off before they have to play. And I think the Lakers have looked

exhausted. So four days off before they have to play. And then you get a couple of days off between

games as well. Look, LeBron was exhausted

at the end of that Wolves game. How ridiculous was that in that Wolves game, by the way? That was

pretty rough. It was not a, not a aesthetically pleasing basketball game, but the important part,

so you guys know, if you're watching, if you're listening over on AMP, I start every show

with the song.

Amp provides a tremendous library of songs for us to choose from for today's show I went with for whom the bell tolls by Metallica.

Well, that bell, it's not tolling for the Lakers, certainly, because they survived and they are in to the playoffs.

Even if it wasn't pretty getting there, the bottom line is they made it through.

They went from the 13th seed to the 7th seed after the trade deadline.

They started 2 and 10, and yet here they are still standing.
