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!

I work hard not to allow my sports teams bad things affect whether I’m happy or not or in a good mood or not but my wife will testify that life is demonstably sweeter when the Lakers win. Aside from being our 60th year together, March has been a very sweet month. Life is better when the Lakers are winning.

Jamal Mosley didn’t just compliment Luka — he basically rang the MVP bell for the whole league to hear. When an opposing coach, in a pregame interview, goes out of his way to say Luka is having an “MVP‑type year” and should be the frontrunner, that’s not casual praise. That’s respect. That’s recognition. That’s the tide turning in real time.

And honestly, how could it not? Luka has been playing with a level of control, poise, and brilliance that feels inevitable. Night after night, he’s dictating the entire flow of the game — scoring when he wants, creating for everyone, and lifting the Lakers into a different tier. You can feel the shift. You can see opponents adjusting their whole game plan around him.

When coaches around the league start speaking like this, it means the narrative is no longer just “Luka is great.” It’s becoming “Luka is the one this season.”

The 2026 MVP race isn’t just heating up — it’s starting to tilt. And right now, all signs are pointing toward Luka Doncic wearing that crown.

HERE’S HOPING THE LEAGUE RESCINDS LUKA’S TECH.
NO REASON TO GIVE OUT MEANINGLESS TECH IN THIS CASE.
NOTHING PHYSICAL GOING ON. BAD MOVE BY REF.

LUKE KENNARD HITS THE GO-AHEAD 3 TO WIN IT FOR THE LAKERS 🚨LOS ANGELES HAS WON 9 GAMES IN A ROW! pic.twitter.com/1kZR6dsqQk— NBA (@NBA) March 22, 2026

  How did we win this one? Our shooting was bad from LBJ and Luka and Laravia and Smart couldn’t score. Our we sure that Luka shooting 30-40 shots a game doesn’t stall others? It seems when JJ took LBJ out with a 14pt lead we went to — in a hand basket! Coaches need to have a feel for the pace and not always take LBJ or Luka out to control their minutes. If LBJ or Austin or Luka are rolling let roll some longer.

    DJ, you are right on the money — this one felt like we stole a win out of thin air. The shooting was rough, the rhythm was off, and for long stretches it looked like we were begging the game to slip away. And yet… this team just refuses to die right now. Nine straight, twelve of thirteen — that’s not luck, that’s resilience.
    
    And you’re absolutely right about the rotations. When Bron is cooking or Austin finds a groove or Luka has that downhill rhythm, sometimes you’ve just got to ride the wave. Momentum matters. Feel matters. You can’t coach the game like it’s a spreadsheet — not in these tight, emotional battles. Taking Bron out with a 14‑point cushion flipped the whole energy. We went from controlling the game to hanging on for dear life.
    
    And Luka firing up 30–40 shots? It’s a double-edged sword. He’s capable of carrying you, but it can freeze everyone else if the balance isn’t right. Tonight was one of those nights where the offense felt stuck in mud until that final burst.
    
    But man… LUKE KENNARD. That shot was pure ice. In a game where nothing was falling, he steps into the biggest moment and buries the go‑ahead three like he’s been waiting all night for it. That’s the kind of shot that defines a streak. That’s the kind of shot that tells you this team is starting to believe in itself.
    
    We didn’t win because everything went right — we won because someone stepped up when everything was going wrong. That’s what good teams do. That’s what dangerous teams do.
    
    If the coaching staff can tighten the feel of the rotations and trust the hot hands a little longer, this surge isn’t just a streak — it’s the start of something real.
    
    The Lakers are peaking at the perfect time, and for the first time all season, it feels like they know it
