Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Locked On Knicks - Daily Podcast On The New York Knicks

OwlTail

The NBA released its Christmas Day slate, and no surprise, the Lakers (who are also featured on opening night against the Nuggets) are right in the center of it. A marquee time slot hosting the Boston Celtics. The NBA went for tradition in a year where both teams are expected to compete for a title.Nice.Not featured? Arguably the most challenging team in the Western Conference, and perhaps the entire league, to predict, the Los Angeles Clippers. Why?Let's break that, and more, down with Darian Vaziri, the host of Locked On Clippers and the DimeDropper Podcast.Where have the Clippers gone wrong? Is it just injuries? If they stay healthy, where do they stack up against the rest of the conference? Against the rest of the league? And what about that massive win streak the LAC have against the Lakers? After adding significant wing depth over the last six-plus months, are the Lakers finally built to beat the Clippers head-to-head? If so, how should fans react?From there, the Daily Mail is reporting that the Kobe Bryant statue is coming to LA Live next August. 8.8.24 to be exact, a date picked for obvious reasons. Now, dig deeper into the story and it's easy to wonder about some of the details, but whatever. It's a chance to talk Kobe with someone who experienced him in a very, very different way. Darian was a kid in Kobe's prime, watching him on TV and experiencing him as kids do their sports heroes (as opposed to the way that sports journalists do the same).We kick around some of our favorite memories, and talk about the Bryant Experience.HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Darian Vaziri)SEGMENT 1: Lakers vs. Celtics on Christmas... No game for the Clippers.SEGMENT 2: Is this the season the Lakers break the losing streak?SEGMENT 3: Remembering Kobe Bryant from very different points of view.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNBA or enter promo code LOCKEDONNBA for a free white tech hat with any purchase.

RUMOR: Is Paul George Headed To The New Knicks? With Darian Vaziri Of Locked On Clippers

It was an inauspicious beginning to the 2022-23 season for the Lakers Tuesday night, and things don't get any easier in Thursday's home opener against the Clippers. If the Warriors are considered the consensus best team in the West, the LAC are certainly second, and because it's the first game are as healthy as they're going to be. So how do the Lakers respond? We preview the game with Locked On Clippers host Darian Viziri!On paper, a matchup against a team with two dominant wings is one that hurts the Lakers, who are, um, a little thin in that area.On the other hand, the Clippers don't have a natural answer for Anthony Davis.Of course, it gets a lot easier to defend A.D. if the Lakers shoot in the way they did Tuesday, where the Warriors just packed the paint and dared LA to make a jumper. Certainly Clippers coach Ty Lue will make the Lakers prove themselves before opening up the floor for Davis and LeBron. One key there, Darian says, is Patrick Beverley. A complete non-entity in the opener, but someone who is capable both of hitting open threes, and also will likely be given the task of, at least for stretches, trying to guard Paul George.Which team has more pressure, early? Another clunker Thursday could have Lakers fans up in arms, but the Clippers have much higher expectations overall, and have invested tremendous assets in putting a championship team on the floor for this season.HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with guest Darian ViziriSEGMENT 1: What exactly are the Lakers facing Thursday against the Clippers? How have they looked?SEGMENT 2: Matchup issues. How exactly do the Lakers try and guard Kawhi and George? Is the answer. really Pat Bev?SEGMENT 3: Where is the pressure for each team?
