Lakers host Embiid-less 76ers: Will LeBron & Lakeshow avoid Play-In Tournament? | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Man they’ll win T night right they’ll win they’ll win tonight but as I start to get real true understanding in my brain about this 7891 seed y just based on the way it sits right now I feel like and then listening to Paul I got Paul on

My shoulder Pierce on my shoulder right now still telling me man I’m telling you they’re going to lose if they go to Golden State they’re going to lose they’re going to lose they’re going to lose when they play The Warriors it feels like we’re not going to get out

Of the play in it feels like we’re not going to get out of the 9th or the 10th we going to go back and forward with golden state for that 910 spot yeah it feels like to me the Suns will sit at seven the Kings will stay at eight they

May swap their spots y but that’s what it feels like and and if we got to play Golden State and we lose we’re done we’re toast home her away I think we’re toast all right right if we then beat one of them we still got to play another game against

The Kings or the Suns depending on which one of those teams lose when they play each other and then I’m assuming you have to go on the road to Sacramento if it’s the Kings definitely right that’s a bad deal that’s a bad deal that’s a bad deal um but

If my right shoulder with me on it talking to me and telling me we could do it then I think we can wind up maybe in the maybe in the divisional round second Round maybe okay so I think we can win a series on your shoulders which is devil and which is Angel you’re angel devil oh yeah all day long he’s a Celtic yeah so he’s telling me all the negatives about playing Golden State or having to go to Sacramento or a healthy Phoenix

Team I’m for some reason I’m not afraid of Phoenix the way I am a Sacramento I hear you I don’t know why I just feel like LeBron could beat KD I I’m with you on that Sacramento has beating you eight out of the last n that’s why I’m afraid going

To Sacramento and they gonna be fired up with the tiles and the whole deal Bells yeah Bells yeah the bells um but I think if we can get out of it I think we can probably win a series by the way I forgot to mention this to

Start the show but speaking of Paul Pierce we’ve had had him on this week he’ll be on Monday Tuesday Wednesday next week that Jack Goki who hit those 10 threes knocked Kentucky out last night I’m checking out his bio and his all-time favorite player was Paul Pierce

And I was like Paul Pier that’s that’s pretty cool so the guy who almost broke the NCAA record for making threes whose game looks nothing like Paul Pierce’s game loves Paul Pierce so I I want to mention that yeah he could probably I mean maybe he feels he can shoot it like

Paul okay all right I know I get fixated on how deep this roster looked going into the year and Rachel Nichols we had on yesterday made the point was it yesterday or the day couple days ago couple days ago made the point well everybody gets beat up

And everybody loses one or two or three players and the Lakers very possibly could lose all three key pieces we know who they are Jared van built gab Vincent Christian Wood and Rachel’s other point was even if they do try to come back for the start of the playoffs

The playoffs could be one and done at Golden State or Golden State they’re not one and done and they get into the playoffs and out of the play in to be able to go and and sit out as long as they’ve been sitting and then restart is

Tough and then to reintegrate them and re sort of assimilate them into the rot it’s just it doesn’t make it’s too late and the other thing is I like the way they played against the Hawks but the kesan I keep waiting for them to go

On a run and they don’t go on a run they’ll win a couple and then I say okay here here they go they need to as coach Landry used to say in Dallas the essence of the NFL playoffs is to streak into the playoffs you need to win your last

Three four five games and hit the playoffs running and the the Lakers could they go on a run right now and just sort of find them themselves and take off they’ve got Sixers in Indiana then they hit the road and I I don’t know I haven’t seen it and nor have you

Because they have just tormented you all year long you say what did we the most we won in a row was four I don’t know I I don’t think they’ve won four have they won four I think we won four in a row this year well that would be the that

Would be the inseason tournament right well no the n Season tournament no the inseason tournament was only three in a row I think was it yeah think it four games to win it am I right anyway but the point was that that’s their claim to fame and that’s where they set their bar

Up high where it almost became an indictment you say well if they can do that why can’t they do this why can’t they take off now and make the inseason tournament the postseason tournament arounded even though we seven and a half Point favorites tonight now you got me

Thinking that they might just lose to the Sixers Sixers are dangerous even without MB no understand yeah that’s what I’m saying wees can just we’ve lost to teams like Houston early in the season at home all right I’m glad you just brought up Houston nice segue because all of a

Sudden they have figured it out I love em udoka I know he had his issue in Boston and that’s fine and he paid for it and now he’s in Houston and I predicted the second he got that job he will turn that program around he will get them going in the right direction

They have won nine of their last 10 games and they have been without their Center Ali shenon and yet they seem to be Paul made the point yesterday they seem to be playing better without shenon so kesan the problem that both Golden State and the Lakers have as we speak is

I don’t think they’re going to back off I I don’t think they’re going to back down I think they’re going to keep on breathing down your neck and you’re going to have the the first issue the first order of business is to hold off Houston yeah because even without shenon

Jayen green has been going crazy like he found himself all of a sudden their kids Thompson’s been playing Center for them as a rookie at 6 feet seven Ines tall they have you’re suggesting that we may not even make the play in well then you’re you are three up on them but

Golden State as we speak is only two and a half up on Houston can Houston keep this up all the way home but if the Lakers drop a few and Golden State wins a few as well as Houston okay then you got problems now you flipping back down

Now if you finish 11th you’re not even in the playin no no yeah if you finish 11 that’s what I’m saying you three up but if you go on a three game skid yeah and they go on a four game winning streak they gonna jump yeah I I just

Like their mix I’m I’m enjoying watching them play they handle Chicago easily last night not a big deal but Dylan Brooks and and U Van vet have added some veteran toughness and Leadership to them van vet’s been playing out of his mind so all of a sudden you you almost have

To look down instead of look up because here they come so LeBron should be good tonight because that that is I I made a joke about it but to get four days off at home with no travel between home games at this late date that’s huge

Which you also could be rusty too well think they’re be rusty this deep into the season really yeah four games you hadn’t played and the last time you played was a cakewalk against a Atlanta Hawks team and two two games prior to that you lose to the Warriors prior to

That you lose to the Kings you did I mean you you got romped and stomped by the Kings as usual so you could start off slow that’s the Rust part I’m talking about yeah and then all of a sudden you look up and you down by 20 yeah well remember what happened against

The Hawks the Hawks were playing back to back it was in the same building obviously in the Crypt but they had just romped and stomped the Clippers on Sunday night and then you get them on Monday night and they jump up on you 11 to2 and then LeBron and AD to their

Credit said nope not in our house tonight and that was the end of that then Atlanta goes on they lost fairly convincingly at Phoenix last night so it it’s not a big deal that you did beat Atlanta and I agree with you Philly is dangerous and Indiana who you beat in

The n Season tournament finals can also be dangerous but we also could wind up missing the kings in getting the sons of the Mavericks we can also miss the Kings yeah you know because the Mavericks are right there bunched up with the Suns and the Kings and all of a sudden the

Mavericks lose a couple and the Suns and the Kings win or whatever and the Kings jump them and jump into the six spot y so yeah it’s a little bit of a light tunnel there okay light yeah that’s cuz I’m sitting here I’m looking at it and I’m

Saying how could you avoid the Kings out the gate yeah in the playing by the Mavericks starting to take a little you know some losses some LS there and the Kings winning they can slide into that six spot yeah and Leap Frog the Suns yeah so we can avoid the kings that

I’m scared of the kings in the play in I I’m not really the Warriors in in San Francisco I’m probably a little nervous at home I’m probably not as much really at home I’m probably not as much guess what Golden State’s record is at home this

Season 18 and 18 that’s fine but it’s not the playoffs no it’s something about the playoffs with them at home it’s it’s a different it’s just a different feeling in the playoffs with golden state at home you can win at Golden State we we probably can but it’s just

Some about Steph Curry is just something about what they do man I’ve seen it too many times but as you’ve pointed out last year’s second round against Golden State after they eliminated Memphis they handled Golden State fairly easily to me we struggled we struggled with them a

Little bit we pulled away at up at in San Francisco we took care of business for sure you did at Staple Center um but if I could avoid the Kings at any cost let them go to the six seed and I’ll take on the Mavs and Suns yeah as I’ve

Told you the difference between your losing streak with the Kings versus your losing streak with Denver is you played the hell out of Denver you take them to the wire you you you can’t even compete with Sacramento that they destroy you every time you’ve lost eight out of nine

And the eight losses not even close that’s why I need them to go on you need them to go on get away yeah get away I don’t know the Lakers might have to get away here but okay up next you’ll enjoy this one trust me because I’m about to
