Sources: Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are both targeting game 3 for their return. If the Lakers steal game one or game two their timeline would get pushed back to game 4. What I was told is they will not sit past a 2-0 deficit.— Mike Ortiz Jr. (@TrustOrtiz) April 14, 2026

MICHAEL HINRICH
Blog Editor
Michael Hinrich, AKA Michael H, has been a Lakers fan since his 5th grade basketball coach, who had played with Wilt Chamberlain at Kansas, turned him into a Wilt fan and Lakers fan when Wilt was traded to L.A.
Another expat from the LA Times Lakers Blog, where he met LakerTom and Jamie Sweet, Michael’s stream of consciousness writing style and savvy intelligence is refreshing and invites conversation and response.
As far as day jobs, Michael has been a councilor, truck washer, bank V.P., and semi-professional writer who just published his first novel. He currently works part-time designing greenhouse systems and just enjoying the good life in Hawaii.

NBA Observations- Big Money Spent For The Clippers And Heat, Are The Lakers Next?
The guys from the Lakers Fast Break return for some NBA Observation as they share thoughts on the recent big-money extensions for Miami coach Erik Spoelstra and the Clipper’s Kawhi Leonard. Does this mean the Lakers will be opening up their wallet a little more as well? Plus after Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic’s huge rant after the Lakers game because of the fourth-quarter free throw disparity, we ponder if Darvin Ham will ever show that kind of energy if he remains as the guys on the sidelines for LA. We’re back talking some big $$$, and wondering if the Lakers are ready to go on a spending spree? Find out our thoughts on the latest Lakers Fast Break podcast!
