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

Welcome everybody to the Lockdown Lakers podcast. I'm Anthony Erwin in a second I'm going to be joined by Pete Zayas of Laker Film Room and of the show three days a week. Reminder you can get this show everywhere that you find any of the

podcast that you listen to and we record here Sunday through Thursday to

release these shows Monday through Friday. Just want to, you know, send a casual reminder for those of you who are new to the show.

Before I get into what all that the show covers today, I do want to send a shout out to everybody over there

at the Leibutard Podcast, the Dan Leibutard show

with Stugats.

They have been a very important part of my, the way that I look at sports and and they helped inspire me to

to get out of the jobs that I held before I started trying to cover sports.

So best luck to them and whatever they do next.

And honestly, I can't wait to see what they do,

wherever they wind up, where they don't have executives breathing down their throat and forcing

them to do things to their show that maybe they didn't want to do.

So on today's show though, we are going to discuss the

We are going to discuss Wesley Matthews because he has played so well the last couple games and

Pete and I have noticed some things that have led

to some of that success. West Matthews also actually talked about some of

the things that have led to some of that success. In the second segment we are

going to talk about Kuzma and whether the Lakers

should consider starting him if there's a mental aspect to why there's such a

difference between him starting versus coming off of the bench

and then also give him some kudos for his passing ability so far this year.
