So you're guarding him.

30 feet from the basket and now all of a sudden everybody else's life gets easier and then you've got lebron as sort of this guy who gets to cut and score in transition and i i don't know i'm starting to i i didn't take this team seriously when they first started this run where they started to to build chemistry and turn it on and look like a a serious team but now i'm starting to see i don't know maybe i'm maybe i'm drinking the laker kool-aid here but

They're scary and they're scary for a lot of the reasons that we've said that they could be scary if they could be healthy and figure out how to defend come playoff time.

Because Luca right now in any given series, he could be the best player in that series against anybody, against Jokic, against Wimby, against Shea.

It doesn't matter.

if if brani got to get in the first quarter for folks to get all let's go with it let's go with it i don't know why that happened i i i can't tell you um i'm i'm honestly i was befuddled to to see that happen um but it worked whatever jj reddick you know it worked you're pushing all the right buttons yeah six lakers getting into double figures you want that all night long against the cats that's huge

So the other night we had Wemby go for 41.

We had Shea go for 47.

We had Luca last night go for 42.

Mm hmm.

We got a real MVP race, and it feels like these guys are racing.

It's not just that they're... They're not just playing basketball.

I feel like there's a little bit of competition now happening between these guys.

I'm going to throw... I mean, I think Jokic is in on this, too.

We've seen him flirting with all these 2020 games.

I think down the stretch, we're going to see these guys going for this award.

So, yeah, let's go with it.

Playoff race is definitely helping.

The Nuggets have the Jazz tonight.

So Jokic going to have an easy one.
