Podcast: Who should Lakers fans root for in the NBA Playoffs?

Last season, fans of the Los Angeles Lakers got to experience postseason basketball for the first time in seven years and, shortly after, their first championship in 10 years. This season was a different story.

Not only did Lakers fans have to feel the disappointment of getting eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, but many of them are currently experiencing the awkward (and often complicated) scenario of finding a new team to root for. Sure, it’s not a lifelong commitment, but it’s still one that should take some thought.

That’s why on today’s episode of “Can U Dig It?” Christian and Jacob went through the list of available teams and tried to find the one that makes the most sense for Lakers fans. Is it the team with the most former Lakers? Or is the team with the best shot at beating a rival of theirs?

They then move on to talk about the biggest game of the week: Bronny James’ sophomore debut for Sierra Canyon. Would you be surprised if I told you there were more stars at the game than any of the games the Clippers have played in the postseason so far?

Of course you wouldn’t — it’s the Clippers.
