About this episode
So the Lakers are playing much better, having moved up to a third seed and with a win Wednesday in Houston will secure tiebreakers against all three of the teams closest to them in the Western Conference standings (Minnesota, Denver and the Rockets). So with that team success, is it time for Luka Dončić to be more than a passing consideration in the MVP conversation?
His numbers on the year are great, and have been particularly good since the All-Star break. Including on the defensive side of things!
So should Luka be right up there with the Nikola Jokic's of the world? What happens if the Lakers keep winning?
And more importantly, is THIS Luka the one that can carry the Lakers deeper into the postseason than people expect?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
