00:00All right, let's bounce the basketball up to the NBA here.
00:04Is it me?
00:04Am I seeing the Lakers actually showing up?
00:06No, I think they're in the three-hole now in the West.
00:09I mean, are they a threat now to come out of the West?
00:13I'll tell you what, what a shot by Luke Kennard
00:16to win that game last night in Orlando.
00:18And yeah, I mean, listen, I continue to not think
00:21that the Lakers are going to be there
00:23because of their quote-unquote outside shooting
00:25and their perimeter defense.
00:27But Big Sills, they keep getting wins.
00:31LeBron's starting to play better.
00:33Kennard hits a game winner.
00:35Luka's Luka.
00:37They got guys.
00:39Listen, you look at that team.
00:41You look at the back of the basketball card
00:43and you look at LeBron James, Austin Reeves, and Luka Dodgich.
00:47And you're like, okay, that team is going to compete.
00:50But to me, it comes down to Luke Kennard's shooting.
00:53It comes down to consistency of Rui Hachimura.
00:56And which DeAndre Ayton do we get?
00:58If you can get those three to play at their level
01:02where they can help you,
01:03and the top three play like the top three,
01:05then you're cooking with something.
01:07But it's also matchups.
01:10You know what Big Sills want to talk about?
01:12Styles make fights.
01:13Certain teams, they don't match up well with.
01:16I don't think they match up well with Minnesota.
01:18I don't think they match up well with Denver
01:19because of Joker,
01:21but because of the other side, they can't stop in.
01:23But still a good story for the Lakers
01:25if they can make a playoff run
01:27because we need Boston, New York, L.A., Detroit.
01:31We need those teams to be in the mix.
01:34It just makes the NBA just a little bit more exciting,
01:37doesn't it, during the playoffs?
01:38How about this, Coach?
01:39Do you think Luka wins the Most Valuable Player Award?
01:42I mean, with LeBron on that roster,
01:46is he your MVP right now?
01:49I mean, you can go a lot of different ways.
01:51Personally, I was going Cade until he got the injury.
01:54So that's the problem, right?
01:55The guy to watch still is Wemby.
01:58I mean, if he has enough games,
02:00I mean, that human, Gumby, I don't know, alien, unicorn,
02:05I don't know what you call that big Frenchman.
02:08But he's a problem.
02:09And what he has done in San Antonio
02:11has made them relevant.
02:13They lose pop, they get a rookie coach,
02:15and they're maybe the biggest threat to Oklahoma City.
02:17That's my MVP if he has enough games.
