'Their position in the standings is Darvin Ham's fault... they should not have to go to New Orleans on Tuesday and have to win a game'

—Jason Timpf tells Colin Cowherd what went wrong for the Los Angeles Lakers

.Colin Cowherd and Jason Timpf pick between Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić for MVP

I disagree. Lakers would benefit from a healthy Vando and a few weeks to polish up their defense.

But the situation is the situation. You go try to win the game tomorrow and let the chips fall where they may.

There has just never been a winner who approached things like this.

Beat the Pelicans, then slay the dragon or die trying.

Lakers-Pelicans reaction: LA clinches the No. 8 seed in the Play-In:

-- The Lakers are rounding into form at the right time again

Turns out Jonas was not the answer.

The Lakers have a 50-12 points in the paint advantage.

Fifty to twelve.

The Pelicans are a top 10 paint offense *and* defense by the way.

LeBron has completely dominated this game on both ends and he’s made 4 shots.

Shout out to Wemby. A legendary rookie campaign.

Over his last 45 games: 23-11-4 with 5.1 stocks. 59% TS.

Spurs were +28 with him on the floor, -230 with him off the floor.

LeBron is the only player in the league post All Star break to be averaging at least 27 PPG on at least 50% from the field and at least 40% from three.

Here's the craziest part:

They're +131 in his minutes, and -71 with him off the floor.

LeBron's numbers post All Star break are at a MVP level:

28 PPG
7 RPG
9 APG
59% FGs
46% 3PTs

That's 68% True Shooting...

Just got around to Suns/Kings. Beal was insanely good that whole 4Q. Also thought KD grinded out several key plays. Shot wasn't falling but generated a Nurk bucket and a Grayson three out of blitzes and had a nice driving drop off to Nurk. Also the OREB foul on Sabonis. Huge win.
