ESPN's Tim MacMahon has covered Luka Dončić since his rookie season in Dallas, and knows the Mavericks franchise and organization as well as any reporter in the industry. All of which makes his new book, Wonderboy: Luka Dončić and the Curse of Greatness, a must-read for Lakers fans to learn more about the man slated to become the next franchise face. In part III of our interview with MacMahon, we discuss Luka's relationship with teammates and whether the Lakers are positioned to keep him happy.

The Lakers have lost games this season that they should have won. Every team does over the course of an 82-game season. 

They all count. So technically speaking, Thursday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls in Chicago is just one game on the calendar, like all the others. Except this late in the year, when there are so few games remaining, the impact of these terrible losses is far higher. So given that they were up by double digits with under five minutes to play, up by five with 12 seconds to play, and up by one with three seconds remaining... yeah, this one's gonna bruise. 

Especially when LeBron James, who is as smart a player the game has ever seen, was part of two plays that helped turn a win into a loss. First, on an inbounds pass with 12.6 seconds remaining, James got caught in no man's land, rotating too high towards Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, who swung the ball to Pat Williams in the corner. LeBron couldn't close fast enough, and Williams buried the triple. Then, with a timeout available, LeBron dropped a horrible inbound pass in the direction of Austin Reaves that was easily picked off by Bulls guard Josh Giddey, who kicked it to Coby White for another three. Five point lead? Try one point deficit. 

You could watch LeBron play 100 more games before seeing a play that bad. 

And then James, like everyone else on the Lakers, let Giddey move unobstructed up the floor for his buzzer beating heave from halfcourt. 

LeBron wasn't the only culprit, to be sure. Luka Dončić got off to a terrible start, got hot in the second half, but took a few questionable shots down the stretch. LA also caught some bad luck, as Chicago went nuclear in the fourth quarter, hitting 11-14 3-point attempts. That, as JJ Redick noted after the game, would be considered good work even in an empty gym. And it still took a 47-footer for the Bulls to win. 

But that's kind of the point. The Lakers did so much good stuff to overcome a slow start and put what seemed like a stranglehold on the game. But a little organic bad luck combined with a lot of the type the Lakers created for themselves means they lost out on an opportunity to stick closer to the Nuggets for the 3-seed, and missed a chance to move ahead of Memphis and give themselves a better grip on the fourth spot. It's fair to wonder how they'll react heading into a critical game Saturday against the Grizzlies. Redick said they don't have time to feel sorry for themselves, and the staff won't let them, anyway. 

So while it's easy to wonder about the emotional impact and any potential for carryover into the weekend, the more immediate hit is practical. This hurts the Lakers in the standings. It almost certainly eliminates a shot at the 2-seed, even with two games remaining against Houston, unless the Rockets totally collapse. It hurts their efforts to keep home court in the first round, and it keeps the threat of dropping to 7th and the play-in tournament alive. 

In short, it's bad, and the way it happened, with so many moments where it seemed the Lakers would walk away with a win, literally until the end? Certainly makes it feel worse.

Josh Giddey’s half court three-pointer at the buzzer erased a 16-point Lakers lead to hand Los Angeles a 119-117 loss. Austin Reaves led the Lakers in the defeat with 30 points and Luka Doncic added 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists; it wasn’t enough as the Lakers have lost two of their first three games on this 4-game road trip. The Bulls were led by Josh Giddey’s triple-double, who had 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.

They figured it out. 

After looking like they couldn't lose, the Lakers looked like they couldn't win. But in the end, they found a way, staging a fourth quarter comeback to beat the Indiana Pacers on the road, 120-119. Luka Donćić led the way among scorers with 34. Austin Reaves was on fire in the second quarter, and finished with 24 points. LeBron James entered the fourth quarter with three (3) points. Not a typo. He went on a personal run to quickly get up to 11, but saved his best for last. As a potential Luka game-winner trickled off the front of the rim with barely a second to play, LeBron was there to tip it in and beat the buzzer. 

In the end, it's a huge win for a Lakers team that had to have it. They worked hard—JJ Redick noted that going in, the staff said this would be a game won on multiple effort plays, which turned out to be true. They weathered a lot of storm, and beat back the nervous vibes that can creep in with a team that's not in a great spot. 

And while the offense periodically lost its way, down the stretch when the Lakers needed points, they generated them consistently, and generally converted.  Especially Rui Hachimura, who had a pair of massive triples down the stretch, despite barely having touched the ball to that point. That level of execution (including some adjustments in how they got into the offense) was great to see

It looks a lot different than it might had the Lakers lost by a point instead of winning by one, no question. But the way the Lakers were able to celebrate as a team while they waited for the official ruling of a made basket that was very obviously coming, it felt like a major weight being lifted. It's risky to say one game snaps them out of the funk they've been in over the last couple of games, but it's certainly possible for a win like this to change the vibes in important ways. 

We'll find out fast, because the Lakers are back in action Thursday in Chicago.

In what should come as no surprise to anybody, Jordan Goodwin's two-way contract was converted by the Lakers as soon it his days were up, allowing him to remain on the roster for the remainder of the season and, most importantly, the playoffs. Cam Reddish was also, unsurprisingly, waived to create the roster space for Goodwin.

Following Monday's disappointing loss in Orlando, Dorian Finney-Smith made a very solid point about the Lakers, where they are now, and where they want to go. 

Ultimately, he says, adversity helps a team with championship aspirations. You have to go through it (to use JJ Redick's phrasing) in order to truly see the flaws and fix them. Coming through adversity is the hard thing. Great teams must be able to do hard things. So while professional athletes have a remarkable capacity to believe that whatever situation they're in is the one that they need at that moment, DFS is speaking truth, here. (And, side note, it reinforces why the guy is so universally popular with every teammate and coach he's ever had.) 

Obviously players need to be accountable, and on that front Luka Dončić took some responsibility for the second half drop in communication Monday, noting he has to do better. He and LeBron, Luka said, have to set the tone and the example for the group. 

That's a great start, but the list of things the Lakers need to get right extends past the players. Yes, they need to pull their weight, but the team is also being schemed against in different ways—fewer double teams against Luka, for example, which has caused the team to get stagnant as possessions get iso heavyand have to make the appropriate adjustments. That, to be sure, puts a burden on the coaching staff to counter the counters. So everyone from the stars to the role guys to the coaching staff has work to do in order to get this thing aligned. 

If they can't, the playoff run won't be nearly as fun or as long as fans have come to hope. 

But the good news? Lets say the Lakers can find a way to create better space and movement while everyone is being single covered. Let's say they start generating that same volume of high quality shots and assisted baskets as during the best runs of the season. Now they're even more dangerous, because it's one less tool in the opposing coach's tool box. 

The Lakers don't have a ton of time to figure it out, and no matter what happens, the summer will provide an opportunity to fill some holes the roster obviously has. But there's enough time, and the Lakers are led by a couple of basketball supercomputers in Dončić and James. So ultimately, there are still more reasons to be excited than despair. 

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: Luka takes some blame. 

SEGMENT 2: Balance, balance, balance. 

SEGMENT 3: Reaves off the bench?
