The Lakers are fresh off of a major comeback win against the Mavericks and they have been on a roll since trading away Russell Westbrook for the likes of D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, others, winning four of their last five games against the likes of the Mavericks (in Dallas), the Warriors, and Pelicans (with a major statement game this Tuesday against the Grizzlies). Offensively they have been looking better and there is a new energy to this team that wasn’t there a couple of weeks ago. The fellas react to that and also Milwaukee's big time winning streak, including a major win this weekend against the Suns without Giannis. They also flip it into yet another Embiid vs Jokic debate near the end and ponder the possibility of the two leading MVP candidates meeting in the Finals.
