The James Harden Effect + Lakers Hit Rock Bottom
It's the Big Picture and NBA analysts Matt Moore and Brandon Anderson discuss the latest news across the Association along with a couple of futures they're betting with only ~20 games left in the season. Should the new-look Sixers be the favorite in the East? The Harden-Embiid pick-and-roll has been unstoppable but will the market overreact to a two-game sample size? The Warriors struggles continue - is it time to press the panic button on Golden State sans Draymond Green? Ja Morant is playing unbelieveable basketball right now but are we believing in the Grizzlies come playoff time with their late-game meltdowns?And then there's the Lakers. Getting blown out by the Pelicans at home was a new low, even for this team. The only thing good coming out of LA is the premiere of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty on HBO Max this Sunday. Lakers bettors can probably burn their futures tickets as it doesn't look promising in LaLa land. Lastly, the duo break down a couple futures involving the SW division and the Charlotte Hornets. The Buckets crew is back tomorrow with the Wednesday Workshop where Matt Moore and Raheem Palmer get you prepped for Wednesday's 8-game slate. Learn more about your ad choices.
