Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. I'm Trevor Lane, and we are live talking Lakers, Wolves, the playoff preview. It's time just about Saturday. It's going to be game one. I thought we'd go live tonight, take questions and comments. Joining me is Ron Gutterman. Ron, how you doing?

Doing good. Ready for some Lakers playoff basketball. Let's do it. Let's do it. An exciting, exciting time a year. The Lakers right now, the slight favorite heading into the round one matchup with the Wolves. I think, Ron, I think this is going to be a battle of a series. I'm confident. I think the Lakers are going to get the win here, but they're going to have to work for it. This is not the Easter conference where your round one matchup is going to be a breeze. I think this is going to be a tough one all the way through, but I still think the Lakers get the job done. Yeah, we talked about it the other day when we recorded a whole series.

And yeah, this is going to be a really, really tough showing for the Lakers.

I think the Timberwolves are going to give them a run for their money.

I don't think this is going to be some easy four or five game series.

But I do think the Lakers are the better team.

They have the star power. They have everything in place to be able to win this series. But yeah do think the Lakers are the better team. They have the star power.

They have everything in place to be able to win this series.

But yeah,

they're going to have to fight for it. Yeah, it's certainly not going to be easy. Let's kick things off. We're going to be taken, by the way, everybody joined it in live. We're going to be taking your questions, your comments. You guys are going to help direct this show in what direction that we go here.

I will be doing another preview show where we're going to help direct this show in what direction that we go here.

I will be doing another preview show where we're going to be breaking some things down specifically in terms of what stuff I want to talk about. But I thought we haven't been

live since the Lakers last game. So this is a good opportunity to go live, get everybody

involved, and get your thoughts on everything. So Sheed says, will we have headband,

Austin, and Luca now? I don't know'd says will we have headband austin and luka now i don't

know rod does the does the headband improve productivity for lakers players like is that a thing

i mean we saw we saw a headband brawn game a couple weeks ago and i that that went pretty well i

don't know maybe there's something to it maybe the the big three should all be headbanded up.

If there is something to it, then yes, please.

We'll take no chances and all rock the headbands.

I feel like if for some reason, I don't know why I think Luca with a headband winds up looking

like William Zabka kind of from the karate kid with a headband on. Maybe it's the blonde hair. I'm not sure. I'm not sure it would really work for him specifically. I like it on Austin and I like it on LeBron, but I don't know about Luca. I think he should play as he is. By the way, everybody, the game 530 p.m. on Saturday.
