This episode of The Jello Jiggling Podcast goes deep into one of the hottest runs in the NBA. Ryan opens by celebrating the Lakers’ perfect 4–0 NBA Cup performance and their advance to the quarterfinals against the San Antonio Spurs on December 10th. He recaps the team’s six-game winning streak, discusses the wild competitive imbalance around the league, and explores how Austin Reaves, Luka Dončić and Deandre Ayton are driving a top-tier offense.

In this episode, Ryan breaks down the Los Angeles Lakers’ scorching start, their flawless NBA Cup record, and the breakout performances fueling the streak, including Austin Reaves’ All-Star-level leap and Deandre Ayton’s surprising emergence. He also looks ahead to the quarterfinal matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, discusses Victor Wembanyama's injury implications, and surveys the chaotic early-season landscape around the NBA.

Austin Reaves’ Rise, Ayton’s Redemption & LA’s NBA Cup Push

In this week’s episode, Ryan breaks down a chaotic but revealing stretch for the Lakers, who have lost two of their last three games—getting blown out by Atlanta and OKC but picking up a needed win in Charlotte. Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves continue to put up monster numbers even as the team wades through inconsistency and key injuries. We dive into why OKC currently looks unbeatable, how Luka and Reaves are carrying the offense without LeBron, and why the Lakers’ ceiling still feels unknown.
We also discuss LeBron’s recovery and his full 5-on-5 practice with South Bay, indicating he may be just days away from returning. From there, the episode pivots into league-wide chaos: the Mavericks firing Nico Harrison, Dallas spiraling, and what Luka had to say about his old franchise. Later, Ryan reacts to Austin Reaves’ comments about his upcoming contract negotiations, the NBA’s unpredictable trade landscape, and how the Lakers’ schedule sets up heading into a crucial stretch in November and December.
The episode wraps with betting picks, a FanDuel shoutout, and a look at whether 50+ wins is a realistic target for this team.

The Lakers continue their up-and-down stretch, dropping two of their last three games but showing star-level brilliance from Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves while awaiting LeBron’s return. We also dive into OKC’s dominance, the Mavericks’ implosion, and what Austin Reaves’ future contract might look like.

Lakers Roller Coaster: Luka & Austin Reaves Keep Cooking in Up & Down Performances, LeBron Nears Return

Ryan kicks off the episode in awe of Austin Reaves’ clutch performance, highlighting how the undrafted guard continues to elevate his game when the Lakers need him most. Despite injuries to major stars like LeBron James and Luka Dončić, Reaves delivered a career-tying 16 assists, 28 points, and the game-winning shot. Ryan compares Reaves’ mentality and growth to Manu Ginóbili, labeling him “a bona fide star” who’s redefining his role in the Lakers’ offense.
The episode expands into broader team analysis—how role players like Jake LaRavia, DeAndre Ayton, and Dalton Knecht stepped up in a depleted lineup—and Ryan praises JJ Redick’s leadership for keeping the team resilient and focused. He also discusses the Lakers’ injury struggles, rotation depth, and how this adversity might be shaping the squad’s chemistry for the long haul.
Later in the show, Ryan transitions into breaking news: Mark Walter’s official acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers, signaling a new chapter in the franchise’s legacy. He reads quotes from Walter, Jeanie Buss, and Adam Silver, reflecting on the long-term implications of the deal and how Walter’s Dodgers success might translate to Lakers dominance. Ryan wraps up with a look ahead to the upcoming matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, potential returns for Luka and LeBron, and his optimism about the team’s direction.

In this episode of The Jello Jigglin’ Podcast, Ryan Ward breaks down Austin Reaves’ incredible game-winning performance against the Timberwolves and his meteoric rise into stardom. The discussion also covers key Lakers performances, injury updates, JJ Redick’s coaching impact and the Lakers’ new ownership era under Mark Walter.

The Rise of Austin Reaves: From Undrafted to Unstoppable

Ryan breaks down Reaves’ stat line — 51 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 6-of-10 from three, and 21-of-22 at the free-throw line — and how his performance completely took over the game in Luka’s absence. But as one hero rises, the Lakers’ health woes deepen.
The episode details the growing injury report, including:
<ul>
 	<li>
Luka Dončić (left finger sprain + lower leg contusion) – out at least a week
</li>
 	<li>
LeBron James (sciatica) – still without a firm return date
</li>
 	<li>
Marcus Smart (quad contusion) – day-to-day
</li>
 	<li>
Gabe Vincent (ankle sprain) – likely out multiple weeks
</li>
 	<li>
Jackson Hayes (left knee/patellar tendon) – out multiple games
</li>
 	<li>
Maxi Kleber (oblique strain) – re-evaluation in two weeks
</li>
 	<li>
Adou Thiero (knee surgery recovery) – no timetable yet
</li>
</ul>
Ryan highlights how the Lakers, already thin, may have to rely heavily on role players like Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt while JJ Redick juggles lineups under pressure.

What a week for Lakers fans! In this episode, Ryan Ward dives into one of the wildest early-season stretches yet — Austin Reaves explodes for a career-high 51 points just one night after Luka Dončić’s 49-point masterpiece. Reaves stepped up in spectacular fashion, leading the Lakers to back-to-back wins despite a mounting injury list.

With several rotation players sidelined, Ryan explores what this means for J.J. Redick’s starting lineup decisions, how the team can hold up defensively, and why Luka Dončić may have to carry an enormous early load.
