Lakers Lounge

The guys wrap up their Austin Reaves discussion, then segue over to Rui Hachimura and D'Angelo Russell. What the Lakers can do this summer will have a lot to do with those guys' markets.

Reports surfaced yesterday that the league is finally going to address flopping. The guys debate whether they'll follow through on it and if this will be effective after agreeing it's become a problem. They then start a conversation about Austin Reaves' future with the Lakers.

After 24 hours or so of nauseating conversations about the Lakers big man, Anthony and Harrison decided they needed to end this right here and now. Anthony Davis can certainly be frustrating. He can also be exhilarating. The guys discuss the season (and postseason) they watched, and tried to figure out why discussions about him get so stupid at times. You're also going to want to stick around for...

Anthony takes a close look at Austin Reaves' market, why teams would be interested, the Lakers' approach to this offseason with him and his options as he tries to maximize his earning potential.

Anthony welcomes Jorge Sedano of ESPN back into The Lounge to discuss LeBron James considering his basketball mortality. There are a few scenarios here Anthony has his eye on so the guys discuss the likelihood of each.

Anthony reacts to the Lakers' exit interviews, much of which sounded great to him. Rob Pelinka is focused on continuity. Sweet. Austin Reaves wants to be back. Hell yeah. He even relays what he's heard about the likelihood of all of that coming to be.

After further discussing last night's loss and the season in its entirety, Anthony and Raj react live on the air to LeBron's quotes regarding his future and the reporting that came right afterward. What does it all mean?

The Lakers lost yet another winnable game to the Nuggets, this time ending their season. There's a lot to unpack here.

Anthony recaps the game and the series as it played out, then he dives headfirst into what LeBron meant with his quotes after the game and the reports that followed. We can never just have a normal night, can we?

Well, season is officially on the line. How Darvin Ham handles this is going to be fascinating to watch. Anthony and Raj dissect what they've seen to this point, debate whether Ham will bench D'Angelo Russell, and laugh at the Celtics.

The Lakers find themselves with zero margin for error. Anthony details the situation, previews the game tonight, and gives his thoughts on why he sees this series extending beyond this evening. He also offers up the latest intel on Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell and Chris Paul.

Fans correctly pointed out we should face the music even after a tough loss so Anthony recorded a quick reaction pot to that game. So here we are.

Lots to go over here as the Lakers find their backs up against the wall for the first time these playoffs.

Ouch. Sure felt like the Lakers should've blown out Denver in this one but instead, the Nuggets hung around, got hot late, and stole a win at home. Now, the Lakers have to win two in a row in L.A. to get back into the series. Anthony and Raj broke down what went wrong, how to avoid those things, and just generally commiserate over a loss that's going to hurt for a while -- especially if they lose...

The Lakers and Nuggets are one game into what feels like a seven-game series and Anthony is already sick of Mike Malone. The guys discuss that, the Lakers' approach to game two, and everyone stealing Harrison's bits.

Anthony previews what will almost assuredly be a knock-down, drag-out war between the Lakers and Nuggets in game two. Yes, the Lakers were forced into the first adjustment in the series, but what else might they have up their sleeve? He also responds to the Nuggets just generally being pretty annoying in the between-game quotes. He wraps on a series of rumors in the Lakers' division that are worth...

The Lakers started game one against the Nuggets with a polarizing approach. It didn't work. They did, however adjust over the course of the game and got right back into it despite Denver playing about as well as they could. So, Anthony welcomed Mike Trudell (Spectrum, LFR Pod), to discuss the game and what comes next.

The Lakers made a real run at it and showed some stuff that can be built on. Denver played a damn near perfect game and still had to sweat out the end of it at home. This series can go in any number of ways. Let's throw darts in the dark to figured out which way it might.

Anthony and Pete are once again together to react to everything that's happened since they last spoke and look ahead to this fascinating Lakers-Nuggets series. Pete likes the Lakers in this matchup and eventually gives Anthony far too much confidence. They also riff a while on NBA end-of-season awards and why the system is fundamentally flawed.

Anthony is joined by Adam Mares of DNVR to preview Lakers - Nuggets. We're obviously biased here, but you won't find a more thorough or balanced look at this insanely balanced matchup. (Quick note: Technical difficulties by way of the app we use to record these shows once again made it sound like Anthony is talking into a tin can. Out apologies. As Anthony explains, though, we're going to make it...

Wow, what a weekend. Anthony recaps what the Lakers did to win their series against the Warriors and expands on whether those things can carry over to their Western Conference Finals matchup against the Nuggets. Then, he opens up the mailbag to answer a couple of your questions.

Anthony and Raj immerse themselves in the experience that was game six. The Lakers beat the Warriors in a way that had Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson on bench for what could be the end of their dynastic run together. They heap praise on AD, try to contextualize what they've seen from Austin Reaves, and present a potentially terrifying scenario for the teams left regarding LeBron Jam...

Anthony welcomes back Brady Klopfer of Golden State of Mind to get ready for what will almost certainly be an instant classic. Game six is going to be insane, and watching the series shift from undeniable respect from both sides to, "hey wait we have to win this thing" has been fascinating. The guys discuss that, and then turn their attention to where Golden State goes if they fall short in game s...

Anthony offers up everything he knows about Anthony Davis' potential availability for game six and reacts to every angle of the conversation surrounding it to this point. From there, he previews the actual game tonight which, you know, is pretty huge. He wraps with a quick take on Denver eliminating Phoenix. It all comes down to this, everyone.

Minutes after publishing a morning update on Anthony Davis, Anthony hops right back in the studio to offer up the update we were all hoping for. Looks like Davis is on track to play in game six.
