It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Whether it's an under the radar genre or a proper out there podcast sometimes it's better

when you get weird especially when it comes to switching up your soft drink introducing

new Dr Pepper Zero.

With the same blend of 23 unique flavors,

it tastes just as weird as regular Dr Pepper,

but with zero sugar and zero calories.

It's a taste you can't quite put your finger on.

Weird, but in a surprisingly good way,

Try more weird with Dr Pepper Zero.

You are locked on Lakers. your daily podcast on the Los Angeles Lakers, part of the

locked on podcast network, your team every day. Thanks. Welcome everybody to the Lockdown Lakers Podcast. I'm Anthony Erwin. I am joined as always by Harrison Fagan.

Harrison, if you had to rank the NBA's Young Corps, how stupid would you have to be to rank the Lakers last?

Well, last on the whole league or last on a list of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight hypothetically either

last in the entire league I mean you'd have to be brain dead last in a list of eight

you'd have to be brain dead. Last on a list of eight. You'd have to be brain dead. So we're pretty bad.

We're going to talk about so the Lakers beat the Miami heat tonight. They beat them 131 to 113. They scored like I said 131 points against a statistically this is an objectively good defense that the Lakers ripped to shreds without Josh

Hart and and Isaiah Thomas played the best game he's played so far as a Laker.

So we're going to start with that.

We're going to talk about the good and the bad and whatever we saw from that game.

And then we're going to extend that conversation into me asking the question, how close are these

Lakers currently to being a playoff team and what would have had to go their way in order for them to be a playoff team.
