Summary

The Lakers, minus LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Alex Caruso and Dennis Schröder, pulled off a 124-122 win over an even more skeleton crew-ish Houston Rockets. It wasn't pretty, and definitely more complicated than necessary, but in the end, strong performances from Talen Horton-Tucker, Kyle Kuzma and Andre Drummond were enough to anchor a victory. For the time being, the Lakers are still in the running for the six seed and to potentially dodge the play-in games. Still, LeBron's continually delayed absence is... concerning. Plus, a reader question about which Lakers we are and are not confident about heading into the playoffs. Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: At the end of the day, a win is a win is a win, and that's what the Lakers got against the Rockets. In particular, Talen Horton-Tucker's work as a floor general provided a lot of optimism for the young player's growth. SEGMENT 2: LeBron's return remains a TBD matter, and it's grown clear he and the Lakers are surprised by this development. We're concerned, and explain why listeners who feel otherwise are just telling themselves what they want to hear. SEGMENT 3: Which Lakers inspire confidence, no confidence, contextual confidence, upward trending confidence, or have entered a space so specifically weird it's impossible to gauge confidence? We take a deep dive into the confidence pool. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
