FULL: Lakers' schedule breakdown; Celtics ownership reports' impact on Lakers Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

Anthony goes game by game to break down a schedule that feels pretty manageable for the Lakers. It opens light and never feels overwhelming. As of right now, that's all we can ask for. From there, he dives into the ownership situation in Boston and how applicable that might be to the Lakers' own transfer of power. He wraps with some questions from the live audience.

PART 1: Lakers get their much-needed light opening to the schedule Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

Anthony has been predicting this (because it's how it usually goes) but the schedule-makers came through again. They're going to open the season with a couple easier stretches (relatively speaking), allowing themselves some momentum built on their continuity.

PART 2: How does Celtics ownership shift impact Lakers' transfer of power? Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

Anthony breaks down the similarities and differences between the Lakers' ownership change and the ones we've seen with the Mavericks and Celtics. He wraps with some questions from the live audience.

FULL: Top five Lakers lineups to look forward to; lessons learned Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Anthony and Raj use this episode to simply nerd out. You want player combination rules? You got it. Team-wide identities? Check. Magic Johnson (the executive) slander? You betcha. This was a really fun conversation.

PART 1: Who should/will start: Rui or Smart? Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Is this another situation where the Lakers allow team seniority to prevent them from running a lineup that makes the most sense? Raj and Anthony agree about who should start, but disagree about who will actually get the nod.

PART 2: Optimizing Luka/LeBron vs. staggering them Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Anthony still needs to see what the offense looks like and, based on that, would reconfigure some of his lineups. If LeBron and Luka are going to operate together, sweet, let's maximize that. If not, then they (are likely screwed) need to optimize those staggered groups.

PART 3: LeBron puts Anthony's new even-keeled nature to the test Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

In an offseason where Anthony has been telling people they don't always need to read all the way into stuff, LeBron and AD just did everything they could to force everyone to speculation as much as they want. The guys take a break from the lineup exercise to laugh at the situation.

FULL: How high is the ceiling on Luka Doncic's Lakers legacy? Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Anthony has found himself thinking quite a bit lately about what Luka Doncic is capable of as a Laker. This got him to thinking: Can he crack the Lakers' Mt. Rushmore? What would that look like? Where does LeBron currently stand in this regard? He and Harrison talk about this and wander all around the notion of legacy in this iconic franchise.

PART 1: Who is on Lakers Mt. Rushmore? Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Anthony and Harrison outline who they think belong on Mt. Lakemore, before diving into whether or not Luka can crack that list. They also laugh at how many teams 40-year-old LeBron would be the best player in the history of the franchise for.

PART 2: Can any Mt. Rushmore Lakers be unseated? Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

There are four Lakers players who belong on Mt. Lakemore. If Luka Doncic is going to make that exclusive list, he's going to have to knock one of them off. So, it's worth asking: Can anyone currently etched into that mountain actually be knocked off?
