The COVID19 virus has taken the NBA by storm, much like it has in society as a whole. Without getting too political, Ray discusses the effect COVID is having on the NBA. Also, the Clippers lost to the Spurs in which they played with very little emotion and determination. Lastly, Anthony Davis has become the whipping boy of the struggling Lakers. Ray compares AD with the old school tune "New Jack Swing" by WRECKX-N-EFFECT! L.A. CourtSide is brought to you by The Basketball Podcast Network (TBPN) and sponsored by DraftKings.com.

This episode includes some tunes from my all-time favorite rap group ...RUN DMC! Although the Lakers have won 3 out of their last 4 games, it seems as though Frank Vogel may still be on the hot seat. If he gets fired, who's to blame? Vogel did not assemble this team, but as we know you can not fire the players, especially LeBron James, who by all accounts orchestrated this team. At the (16:46) mark of this episode, I discuss the Clippers, who have on 5 out of their last 6, and 3 of them without alpha-dog Paul George. They are a cohesive team that has role players stepping up, including my whipping boy of last year by the name of Luke Kennard. Kennard has finally shut me up! My dream of an All L.A. Western Conference Finals is still alive!!! L.A. CourtSide is brought to you by The Basketball Podcast Network (TBPN) and sponsored by DraftKings.com.
