Mason & Ireland

Mason is looking forward to the Lakers facing the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow, even if both teams aren't fully healthy. He and Ireland discuss who stepped up in last night's win over Minnesota, and who is most crucial to the team with AD out. Mason wonders if there's any way he can get in to see the game in-person, and John gives him the same line he gives everyone who asks that question. Mason shares another email from Dora the medium and invites her on the show.

He and Mason discuss potential buyout options the Lakers could pursue, like Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin. Plus, they close out the short show with a round of Mason & Ireland Jeopardy, where things get heated!
