Lakers Lounge

PART TWO: Raj has gone back and rewatched the win from Saturday at least 63 times and every new rewatch presents some cool new wrinkle to what the Lakers did to beat the Nuggets to the extent they did. The guys talk about how well that game plan and identity extends to the rest of the league given some of the matchups potentially waiting for them in the playoffs.

PART THREE: Anthony and Raj continue their conversation about the at-time narrow definition of athleticism and how, as a result, Luka Doncic is a Laker despite everything he's accomplished to this point.

FULL: Anthony was finally able to devote an episode to the mailbags after the insanity that has been the last few weeks. The questions were great and he also gave a take that should be fairly popular.

PART ONE: Anthony explains why JJ Redick being a former podcast has been such a stabilizing force in an organization that's really gone through it over the last couple years.

PART TWO: A listener asked a great question about how confident Anthony would be if the Lakers landed the two seed and would potentially have to face a play-in team. Are there any that make him nervous?

FULL: Anthony and Harrison marvel at the game the Lakers just played. They beat the crap out of the Nuggets. Luka Doncic looked like himself. LeBron James and Austin Reaves also dominated while they were out there. This offense is otherworldly and the defense just keeps performing. Even JJ Redick rose to the occasion. What a game. Holy s***.

PART ONE: Anthony and Harrison just sit back and enjoy what they just got to watch.

PART TWO: The guys continue to break down the game and marvel at what the Lakers are capable offensively, then dive into the live comments.

FULL: Anthony and Raj break down and legit big win, all things considered. LeBron was great. Austin was great. Rui was there.

PART ONE: Anthony and Raj marvel at the game LeBron just had and hope that Luka is taking notes on what it takes to remain this good for this long.

PART TWO: Anthony and Raj discuss a defense that, for almost a quarter of a season, has been the best statistically in the league. Is it for real and, if not, where does the regression take them?

PART THREE: The guys discuss Rui Hachimura's tough night offensively, then wrap up the show with questions from the live audience.

FULL: Anthony and Raj break down what will likely wind up being the worst loss of the season. There was no excuse to lose this one. The guys talk about the lack of chemistry between LeBron James and Luka Doncic, the concerning lack of improvement in that regard even after the break, Rui Hachimura's expectations in all this and more.

PART ONE: Anthony and Raj discuss this loss and the place Anthony starts is with coaching, where he's wondering if JJ Redick is ready for everything that comes with coaching Luka Doncic and LeBron James on the same team.

PART TWO: The guys discuss Rui Hachimura and how important the remainder of the season is for him giving everything going on heading into this summer.

PART THREE: Anthony asks Raj the question... at what point do we start to worry about the way Luka Doncic is moving out there? He also tells the story of when he realized his conditioning could go one of two directions. The guys wrap up the pod with questions from the live audience.

FULL: Anthony caught wind of a Ja Morant rumor that made him think about this new CBA in a new light given what he thinks will be the new market inefficiency. If he's right, this would be a huge help for the Lakers. He and Harrison discuss that, their expectations for the second "half" of the season and what they'd do if a grizzly bear chased them through the woods.

PART ONE: Ja Morant's name came up in trade rumors recently and Anthony connected the dots between that and where the CBA is taking contract negotiations even with the NBA's stars.

PART TWO: Anthony unveils a fun theory on the Lakers trade for Mark Williams potentially without the intent to keep him, then he and Harrison discuss their expectations for the second "half" of the season.

FULL: Anthony hated everything about this All-Star Weekend and hopes this was it finally reaching a breaking point where the league addresses the core issue at hand: Where have the stars gone?

PART ONE: Anthony hated this weekend and thinks the NBA might have a real problem brewing with its players being far too focused on their PR perception and the biggest victim of that movement has been All-Star weekend.

PART TWO: More ranting and raving about whatever the hell this last weekend was.

FULL: Anthony let's Raj talk about the first two games of the Luka Doncic era. Raj may or may not have been levitating for that entire segment. Then, the guys discuss the season to this point and try to figure out what their expectations are for the second "half" of the season.

PART ONE: Anthony basically gives Raj the floor to try to put his thoughts and emotions into words having watched two games of Luka Doncic in a Lakers uniform. It went as you'd hope.

PART TWO: Anthony and Raj discuss what they're hoping to see from the Lakers after the All-Star break, then, as Raj heads out to cover the South Bay Lakers game, Anthony answers questions from the live audience.
