Luka Goes SUPERNOVA on the Suns with 51! | Celtics drop Lakers | KD Unhappy In Phoenix?: The NBA's Christmas Day slate was awesome and chock full of big stories and Matt Moore and David Ramil break it down for you. Luka Doncic goes for 50 with 14 rebounds as he beats his rival Devin Booker and the Suns. KD's unhappy in Phoenix, should they move to DEFCON 3? The Celtics dominate the Lakers in the second half and Kristaps Porzingis might be the missing piece for them. The Nuggets beat the Warriors and Steve Kerr goes OFF on the officials for "enabling" free throw grifting. Jalen Brunson looks like a 1A vs. the Bucks, is he a threat to the top teams in the East with how he plays? Plus, as Miami without Jimmy Butler beats the Sixers without Joel Embiid, is Jaime Jaquez a serious Rookie of the Year candidate? All that and more on a stocking-stuffed Locked on NBA!

No Booker, No Beal? Thursday's Game vs. Suns Now Must-Win Opportunity for The Lakers.: Fans were hoping to get a truly marquee matchup Thursday night in the Lakers home opener, with the high-powered, star-driven Phoenix Suns paying a visit to the Crypt. Well, with Bradley Beal and Devin Booker both listed as doubtful, that seems unlikely. Players don't typically get upgraded after being downgraded, and certainly not this early in the year. So that means it's the Lakers vs. Kevin Durant and ... well, a lot of players casual fans might not know exist. So in a tightly packed, crabs-in-a-bucket Western Conference, that kind of makes tonight a must win. Not in the sense of immediate, season ending consequences (it's not Game 7 of a postseason series), but this season, when a contender has a chance to take a game off another contender, whether because of injury or whatever, it needs to be done. The Suns do have Durant, but the Lakers roll out the far better roster, and need to take advantage by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Timberwolves-Lakers Play-in Preview With Ben Beecken, Locked On Wolves: The Lakers haven't exactly been razor sharp over the last three or four games, but overall have gotten the job done. They have, to use Darvin Ham's words, stacked up wins en route to a seventh place finish in the West that would have seemed improbable six weeks ago. LeBron James looked great in Sunday's finale, Anthony Davis seems healthy, and the team is expected to be fully intact for the first time all year on Tuesday. Meanwhile, on Sunday Minnesota lost forward Jaden McDaniels to a broken hand sustained punching a wall in their season finale vs. New Orleans, and then center Rudy Gobert punched Kyle Anderson in a sideline huddle, and has been suspended by the team. Is Gobert that big a loss, given his shaky health and cratering reputation? Might the Wolves be better off without him, given the matchups (even while missing backup center Naz Reid, who was already out with a broken wrist)?

Should Jason Kidd Get the Blame for Mavs Bad Losses?

Should Kidd get the blame for the Mavs' losses? Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Reggie Adetula (105.3 The Fan) discuss Jason Kidd's culpability in the Dallas Mavericks' 5 bad losses and what he meant by saying 'I'm just the coach' after the Mavs' last loss.

Anthony Davis Expected to Play in Game 6... and Has a Chance to Shut Up the Media.: When Anthony Davis left the floor, and then the arena, following that big fourth quarter forearm to the head from Golden State center Kevon Looney, it was reasonable to think that he might not play in Game 6 Friday night. Or even Game 7, if the series went back to San Francisco on Sunday. It was incredibly deflating in the moment, for the Lakers as a team, and definitely for Lakers fans. Good news! He's gonna play. Davis didn't even have to enter the league's concussion protocol. So whatever that blow did to him, it apparently wasn't enough to give him a concussion. Good for Davis, good for the Lakers. Of course, in the interim, Davis absorbed an enormous amount of mockery from high profile members of the basketball media, who all but called him soft. They laughed and mocked in ways they likely wouldn't have for just about any other player in the league. And they did it following a shot to the head.

Without Davis, Russell, Reddish, shorthanded Lakers Lose Big (129-115) to the Spurs.: It was the second go-around between the Lakers and Spurs in San Antonio, along with a second radically different look for the purple and gold. LeBron James returned from his absence Wednesday, but Anthony Davis (groin), D'Angelo Russell (non-COVID illness) and Cam Reddish (knee) all missed the contest, rendering the Lakers an entirely more hapless group from jump street, where they fell down 20 points after the first quarter. There were a few pushes, including a second quarter rally cutting the lead down to four. But nothing was ever sustainable, and moreover, the team looked exhausted from having played three games in four nights on the road, plus the energy expended during the IST. Throw in the notable (if predictable) dropoff from AD to (foul magnet) Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood, plus a huge night from Devin Vassell, and the Lakers looked like the far inferior team.

Lakers Beat Sixers 101-94, Behind 23/19 from Anthony Davis. D'Angelo Russell sets Franchise Record.: It was not exactly the sort of inspired, confidence building effort the Lakers probably hoped for, but in the end it was enough for LA to get what it needed—a win. They beat the visiting, and badly slumping, Philadelphia 76ers 101-94 Friday night at the Crypt. The game was tight throughout, until down the stretch when the Lakers pushed the pedal down a little harder than the Sixers could manage. There were some notable performances, starting with Anthony Davis and his 23/19 line. Spencer Dinwiddie had his best game as a Laker (by a lot), playing high end defense while chipping in with 11 points in 23 minutes. There were even more subpar ones, however. LeBron James was inefficient and a turnover machine (TK overall). D'Angelo and Rui Hachimura weren't exactly models of consistent production, either. Outside of Dinwiddie's points, the Lakers had only five more from the bench. And th by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving: Leaving Brooklyn didn’t mean instant winning: Even though the trade deadlines have long since passed, Sunday felt like the official end of the superstar narrative for the Brooklyn Nets. James Harden and the Sixers were bounced from the playoffs is a crazy blowout at the hands of the Celtics. Harden himself was terrible in the game. And late last week, Kevin Durant and the Suns lost in Game 6 to the Nuggets, getting blown out in back-to-back games to close out the series. Doug Norrie takes a look at how these new situations now define the narratives for each player, along with Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks not even making the playoffs. If anything, this now feels like clean slate time for the Nets who move into a new era knowing there was probably little chance the Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving team-up was ever going to work long-term.

Do the Lakers Have Even More Upside? Can They Keep Getting Better vs. the Nuggets?: All things considered, we really haven't had a lot of time to learn about these Lakers. Yes, some of the team has been there all year, but the crew we've seen in the playoffs is a creation of the trade deadline, and even then the number of games played with the core together has been limited by injuries to LeBron James, Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell. So while we likely won't see a true top end for this team that would come with a training camp and a season of seasoning, there is definitely room still for improvement. The Lakers have already beaten the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies and defending champion Warriors, both as the road team and both in (by NBA playoff standards) relatively easy fashion. Add in the fact that James and Davis are now 6-0 in playoff series as teammates when both have been healthy and available throughout, and there is plenty of reason to believe the Lakers can, and even wi by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
