Who Can Challenge a Healthy Lakers Team? Guest, Howard Beck of Sports Illustrated - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Anthony Irwin

What up, Beck?

The great Howard Beck of Sports Illustrated, one of the NBA's best writers, joins Locked On Lakers and we cover a ton of ground, from where things stand currently with the Lakers to Andre Drummond to challengers in the Western Conference and tales of Slava Medvedenko and the Threepeat champs.HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: Where do the Lakers stand heading into the stretch run? Is Howard surprised at how they've managed to stay afloat playing so much of the season without LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Does home court matter? Matchups? Seeding?SEGMENT 2: Looking around the Western Conference, who are the other contenders? Are Phoenix and Utah for real? Would the Lakers be better off getting the Clippers early or late? His answer might surprise you.

SEGMENT 3: We start by talking Coach of the Year, and why Frank Vogel doesn't seem to penetrate "the conversation" around the award. Should he? Is the job Vogel has done this year worthy of some COY love? What do the Clippers and Nets have in common? A lot it turns out. And finally, we ask Howard the most important of questions: "Can you tell us your best Slava Medvedenko story?" And he tries to oblige, and it leads to a conversation about that disastrous Lakers vs. Pistons Finals.Listen to The Ultimate Mock Draft 2021 presented by Audacy and the Locked On Podcast Network.
