This is one of several podcast in which I will examine potential playoff matchups for the Lakers. On today's show I'm joined by Site Manager for the Denver Stiffs and host of the Nuggets Numbers Podcast Ryan Blackburn (@NBABlackburn). We're breaking out the crystal ball to discuss who would be victorious should these two teams meet in the playoffs. After that we turn our attention to an article Ryan wrote that suggested Denver is banking on Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray becoming the next Shaq and Kobe. Fun conversation!

On today's show I'm joined by Kenny (@LakeShowScoop) in Los Angeles, and Matt (@LakersFanClubUK) in the United Kingdom.
