Summary
Anthony Davis is playing great and the Lakers look to be getting back on track, but the West playoff seedings remain bunched up with several scenarios still in play with less than a handful of games remaining. Are the Lakers going to end up in the play-in games or is the 6th or 5th seed still possible? If they do make the play-in, how would a potential matchup with the Warriors go and should the Lakers worry about Steph and company? Pete, Mike, and Darius answer these questions and more as the Lakers enter their final week of the regular season.

| 0:34.7 | You follow the box scores of the games every day. |
| 0:37.2 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:38.6 | You're kidding. |
| 0:39.8 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:44.0 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:48.9 | You don't smile much out there. |

| 1:15.5 | What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought to you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined, as always, by Darius and Mike. And the Lakers are right in the middle of a seating crunch. We've got a whole bunch of different scenarios where the Lakers could be in the playing tournament. They could sneak up to the sixth seat. Actually, even the fifth seat is not mathematically out of the question, although unlikely. And so today we're going to try to make sense of all of it. Mike, you've been getting into this. I know |
| 1:21.2 | you've sent us a couple of different scenarios and I know you've been on top of this. Please |
| 1:25.4 | help us make sense of where we stand. |

| 1:48.7 | When a lot of this still is contingent upon LeBron and all that. And the game that probably made the ultimate difference, |
| 1:53.1 | although that could change, was that Portland game. And I think that's why the team was a little bit extra frustrated with some of those calls in the fourth quarter. But we've been |
| 1:55.8 | over that before. So I'll, let's just start by saying this. And I tweeted this last night. |
