ICYMI, Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! We discussed the Lakers’ backsliding defense, signs of LeBron/Russ/AD clicking as a trio, and whether Malik Monk is trying too hard to stay in the rotation. @LockedOnNBAPods @LockedOnNetwork

Lengthy injury report for the Lakers and Thunder tomorrow. LeBron James and Lu Dort are both questionable. pic.twitter.com/8UpUu0DtHj9:58 PM

Kevin Durant this season:
28.3 PPG (most since OKC)
8.6 RPG (career-high)
5.3 APG
59.2 FG% (career-high)
If that keeps up, he would join LeBron (2x) as the only non-bigs to average 25 PPG on 55% shooting in the last 35 seasons. pic.twitter.com/RKM8FQbllU9:56 PM

Serious thoughts of leaving Portland, a meeting with LeBron in LA, the quick connection with new head coach Chauncey Billups and more.
@Chris Haynes takes you inside Damian Lillard’s most uncertain offseason.

For sickos who like to watch, Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast, YouTube version.
Among the topics, yesterday’s win over the Rockets was the best LeBron/AD/Russ have looked as a trio. Progress to build on? @LockedOnNBAPods @LockedOnNetwork

I don’t like players leaking who recruited them, let alone speaking on the record about it.
That said, we’ve now heard about the LeBron/AD meetings with both Lillard and Russ, and I demand to know who else they speed-dated this offseason. Was Buddy present at the rose ceremony? – 4:33 PM
