SS&R Postgame: Takeaways from the seeding games
The Lakers are done with the regular season, and their final game against the Sacramento Kings was completely meaningless. So after briefly reacting to it, today's postgame show hosts Harrison Faigen and Jacob Rude jumped into an autopsy of the Lakers' play in the bubble, and what they feel like they learned from it. They got into the weird vibes around the team (and what might have been behind them), how motivated they think they actually were, if the Lakers need Rajon Rondo (maybe not for the reasons you think) and more. Then, they discussed the Lakers' possible eighth seed opponents, and why they think the Blazers are getting overhyped. Learn more about your ad choices.

I Love Basketball: Picking the all-bubble teams
The NBA unexpectedly announced that there will be a Player of the Seeding Games, as well as first and second team All-Seeding Games, to recognize the players who have excelled in the bubble. The Lakers haven't exactly shined in the last six games, perhaps because they were unaware there were awards at stake, so Sabreena and Christian look around the league for players to fill in their bubble teams and settle on two potential candidates for the Bubble MVP. They also opine about the general state of the bubble so far. Learn more about your ad choices.

SS&R Postgame: All hail Kyle Kuzma

SS&R Postgame: Is there a problem with the Lakers' chemistry?
The Lakers -- some of them, at least -- played and lost to the Houston Rockets Thursday, but the game itself was rendered almost irrelevant when LeBron James was ruled out. Instead, the major stories afterwards were the unexplained absence of JaVale McGee and the team's continued shooting woes. Sabreena and Anthony discuss if either of those situations warrants extended concern, as well as if the team's chemistry will ever reach it's pre-hiatus form, particularly without Avery Bradley and Lionel Hollins in the bubble. They conclude with a conversation on the Rockets themselves, why they are so very annoying, and what the Lakers would have to do to contain them in a potential playoff series.
