Logan Murdock, Howard Beck, and Raja Bell start the pod with the unfortunate season-ending injury news for All-Star guard Kyrie Irving (0:21). Irving’s injury adds to the long list of Mavs players that have been sidelined throughout the season, including Anthony Davis (who was traded for Luka Doncic). Just how catastrophic has this season been for the Mavs? On the flip side, the Lakers have been rolling and are 16-4 in their last 20 games. LeBron and Luka seem to fit perfectly together and Howard believes this still isn't the best version of Luka. How terrified should the Western Conference teams be (23:18)?
