Lakers, Explained: Why ending up in the play-in could be a good thing - a podcast by SB Nation

LeBron James is set to return soon, possibly as soon as Tuesday, according to the latest reports. When framed in conjunction with the Lakers destroying the Phoenix Suns — their potential first-round playoff opponent — without him on Sunday, things appear to be looking up for the purple and gold, even if it looks increasingly likely that they’re headed for the play-in tournament.The team itself has continuously maintained that they don’t want to end up in the potential double-elimination scenario, but it also could result in an easier side of the playoff bracket, if the Lakers take care of business. On today’s episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin dove into the format, and why it could be a double-edged sword for Los Angeles.
Then, after discussing all that, Harrison and Anthony wrapped the show by briefly discussing LeBron's return, and listing the names they most want to see interviewed for the upcoming Hulu docuseries about the Lakers.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
