You are locked on NBA, your daily NBA podcast, part of the

locked on podcast network, your team every day.

Welcome everybody to your favorite day of the week. I'm Anthony Erwin.

I'm joined now for the second time by Adam Mattis.

Adam, do you think this will be better than yesterday's show?

There's no chance.

Yeah, this is one of those, we had one of those nights last night with the recording doing all of the

hiccuping and everything, so now we have to fake it.

I mean, I would never fake it with you.

I don't. Let's get let's get to Thursday night's action. So that's what we're going to do. That's how we're going to start the show by taking you

guys around the league last night. There are three games. The Lakers beat the Bucks, the pelicans

lost to the Jazz and the Knicks beat the Warriors. So that's how we're going to start today's show. Second segment,

we're going to dive into some either oars that Adam has chosen for us to have a little

bit of fun with. And then finally, I still think they're going to be the same amount of

fireworks talking about this list of power rankings as we had last night so that's

actually the one I'm least concerned about. Adam is going to take us through his list of MVP candidates to this point in the NBA season.

All right. So let's start with the first game of the night. The Lakers beat the Bucks 113 of 106 in Milwaukee. They remain. They have yet to lose two games in a row.

The Bucks do so for the first time.

LeBron goes for 34, 6, and 8.

And Janus goes for 25, 12, and 3.

And the Lakers just continue to take care of business almost regardless of

of who they're playing against and despite it they never really looked that intense in this one.
