Full Court Press - Episode 39: Lakers' Lure, Worried Warriors, & Boston Bruises

1.) The L.A. Lakers have been surging since Lonzo Ball's return, going 8-2 in that time. Julius Randle has lead the team, averaging 21.2 PTS, 10.1 REB, 4.0 AST, 0.6 BLK, and 0.9 STL in that span, while shooting 59.7% from the field. What are your thoughts on these young Lakers? 

2.) The Boston Celtics are banged up! Kyrie Irving is out indefinitely due to his knee, Daniel Theis has been ruled out for the season, Marcus Smart is out indefinitely with a thumb injury, and Jaylen Brown's concussion after a scary fall has him sidelined. How concerned are you about the Celtics?

3.) Steph Curry suffered another ankle injury, and will be sidelined until at least March 20th. How concerned are you about a less than 100% Steph, or worst case scenario, a Warriors team without Steph?

4.) The Rockets and Raptors are finally getting some respeck on their names. Would you bet on at least one of these teams to make the Finals, and what would a Raptors / Rockets NBA Finals mean for the NBA?

5.) The San Antonio Spurs are 3-7 over their last 10, currently in 9th place, and have one of the toughest schedules remaining, playing only one team in their home stretch not competing for a Playoff seed. It has been reported that Kawhi Leonard will not return, as expected, Thursday night against the Pelicans. How concerned are you about the Spurs making the Playoffs?

6.) Derek Rose has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the remainder of the season. What do you expect from Rose?
