Anthony Davis Dominates Grizzlies as Lakers Enter Play-in Mix... And Retire Pau Gasol's Jersey!: It's been a long, long, looooooooong climb, filled with some ups and a whole bunch of downs and aided by a Western Conference that just refuses to kick it into high gear... but the Lakers have finally crawled back into the playoff picture. After beating the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, behind yet another epic effort from Anthony Davis (30 points, 22 rebounds, 11-17 shooting, two blocked shots), the Lakers are back in the West's top 10, meaning if the season ended today, they'd be in the play-in. (And tonight, SB Nation/Silver Screen and Roll's Harrison Faigen joins to break it all down!) It's a remarkable piece of progress for a team that has seen long-term injuries to Davis and LeBron James, has barely played with D'Angelo Russell since acquiring him, and generally has had little to no continuity for... years.

Will (and Should) LeBron James and Anthony Davis Have Their Jerseys Retired by the Lakers?: Tuesday was a good night for the Lakers in the standings, and for the Lakers celebrating history. They got a big win over the Grizzlies and also celebrated the retirement of Pau Gasol's #16. For the first time in a long time, it seems, the Lakers managed to combine a great night for pageantry with a great night for basketball. And it got a whole lot of people thinking, what about Anthony Davis and LeBron James? Should those two eventually have their jerseys retired? One of those people putting it out for discussion was Davis himself, who noted how much he'd like to be part of that incredible lineage of Lakers bigs that hover over the floor. Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Pau... Davis would like to be next. He's unquestionably a Hall of Fame player, even if he hung 'em up today. But would he be in the Lakers Hall of Fame, so to speak? It seems he'd have some work to do. Yes, there's a title, but has by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis (37 Points, 18 Rebounds) Dominates as the Lakers Beat Brooklyn, 116-103: It's hard to have a must-win game after 12 games of an 82-game season, but Sunday the Lakers faced something pretty close to it. And with LeBron James still sidelined, they needed, and got, a monster performance from Anthony Davis. 37 points on 25 shots, plus 18 rebounds, 10 of them coming on the offensive side of things. He was unstoppable in the paint, delivering the type of game teams need from superstars in adverse circumstances. So what was different about Sunday's game, where A.D. was a factor throughout, and Friday where he was quiet down the stretch (again)? What were the Lakers doing better on Sunday, and where did Brooklyn leave the door open? Meanwhile, the Lakers got good performances out of Lonnie Walker IV, Austin Reaves and sneaky good production from Wenyen Gabriel, and turned in one of their better defensive performances since the early part of the season (Brooklyn's cold shooting no by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Russell, Davis, Christie Shine, but Reddish, Wood Struggle in Los Angeles Lakers Preseason Opener: LeBron James and Austin Reaves both sat out LA's preseason opener Saturday in San Francisco against the Warriors, so in one sense, it's hard to view anything about the results of the game (the Lakers lost) as any sort of barometer about what's coming this season. But just because the final score didn't really matter doesn't mean stuff that happened was unimportant. There was much good: Anthony Davis looked smooth and sharp, particularly with that perimeter jumper that's been winning praise from folks over the last few weeks. Davis was 2-3 from downtown, and if the shooting form holds (meaning Davis finally becomes the distance shooter he teased at a couple years ago, the Lakers will have a new weapon at their disposal). But broadly, Davis was moving well and looked very comfortable. D'Angelo Russell was excellent, controlling the flow of the offense en route to 15 points and five assist by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Will Darvin Ham's Inexperience Prevent the Lakers From Making the Play-in?: The Lakers, according to the fine folks at Tankathon (and by other measurements as well) have the league's easiest schedule down the stretch. That includes tonight's game against a hobbled New Orleans squad, and Wednesday against the Rockets, who are awful. They see the Bulls twice, get a beat up Dallas team, the Suns (at least once) without Kevin Durant and the Magic. By the time the schedule grants two games against Utah, the Jazz may or may not still be playing for a playoff berth. (Of course, they're saying the same thing about the Lakers on Locked On Jazz.) So the idea they could be playing significant games down the stretch, even understanding that LeBron is going to miss a huge chunk of time, isn't at all far-fetched. Not given how the Lakers have played since the NBA's trade deadline, Sunday's loss notwithstanding. To get there, they need top shelf performances from Anthony Davis, and on days where he's by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Russell Westbrook Picks up $47 Million Option with the Lakers. What now? Plus, Malik Monk Staying?: There were no credible scenarios in which Lakers guard Russell Westbrook decided to decline his $47.1 million player option for next season.
