Prime Cuts - Can Luka Power Lakers To A Title, LeBron Is LOCKED IN, David Ross On Cubs Magical World Series Win

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”

They start with the Lakers & the red hot play of Luka Doncic and debate whether the Lakers high powered offense can overcome their deficiencies on defense in the playoffs (4:00). Colin argues that under JJ Reddick, the Lakers now play in a highly motivated and intentional way and compliment Luka & LeBron (11:30), and Jason believes that LeBron has been uniquely focused in pursuit of a fifth ring (17:00).

Then, Colin is joined by MLB legend David Ross to discuss the launch of his new podcast “Loveable Reunion” with Anthony Rizzo on The Volume.

They start with the 10th anniversary of the Cubs historic 2016 World Series win and why he and Rizzo wanted to launch a podcast to revisit their World Series run (23:00). They discuss the 108 year title drought for the Cubs and the pressure that comes with the entire country rooting for them to break the curse (28:15).

They move to the final game of the Cubs World Series Win and talk about navigating a tense final three outs to finally achieve that “we did it” moment (35:30) and Colin asks what that championship means to David after a decade to reflect (38:30).
