LeBron, Lakers Call Out NBA Refs | Embiid Statement Game & 76ers Dominance | Grizzlies Break Slump + Jaren Jackson Jr. Stats Conspiracy

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Andy Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) to discuss the poor NBA officiating in the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics game Saturday night, leading to some very choice commentary from LeBron James and Company + the Lakers get some much needed frontcourt help with the return of Anthony Davis and by trading for Rui Hachimura. Are the reactions from the Lakers warranted? What is the current state of NBA officiating? What does Rui Hachimura provide for this Lakers team? How has Anthony Davis looked since returning to action?

Then, Keith Pompey (@Locked On Sixers) stops by to break down Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers statement game against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets plus the keys to Philly's dominance since early December. What kind of statement did Embiid make with this game? Was Embiid snubbed as an All-Star starter? Where should Embiid stand in the MVP race currently? What have James Harden and Tyrese Maxey provided during this recent stretch?

Lastly, Joe Mullinax (@Locked On Grizzlies) swings by to talk about why the Memphis Grizzlies were struggling so much over their recent 5-game skid, what happened to finally get things back on track against the Indiana Pacers and the Grizzlies scorekeeper being accused of inflating Jaren Jackson Jr.'s defensive numbers. Was the Jaren Jackson Jr. Reddit "scandal" just a conspiracy theorist or an elaborate ploy to get JJJ more Defensive Player of the Year publicity? How were the Grizzlies able to end the losing streak? What were some of the key issues during the losing streak? What's the current timetable on Steven Adams' injury and who has Taylor Jenkins asked to step up in his absence?
