Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com. You're home for everything. Lakers with a little bonus podcast here for you. We had so many questions and comments coming in last night after the Lakers, a big win over the Pelicans. That we need to do add a bonus show. So I'm going to jump through a number of different topics. And you know what's first on my mind? It's Anthony Davis sitting out against the Houston Rockets. I know I have a lot of questions about that, but just off the top, it makes me nervous. This is still a must win game. Every game really is. But even though the Houston Rockets have not been very good, I don't think this is a team that you can necessarily mess around with, particularly if they feel disrespected by the Lakers

feeling like they can sit, Anthony Davis, against them.

I think the Lakers may be in for a battle, particularly now with Wenning Gabriel as the team's

only center.

But I'm going to dive into all of these questions and comments in just a moment, but do

want to let everybody know, I am having a March Madness Brackett challenge.

needs to slump two to three more weeks so he can peak for the play in and playoffs.

Well, look, Malik Beasley is a streaky shooter.

That's for sure.

We saw him get going last night in the win against the Pelicans.

I've been asking for it.

You've been asking for it.

And finally, we got it. He went nuts.
