PART ONE: Thunder-Pacers was INCREDIBLE; ESPN, what are you doing? Jun 06, 2025

As thrilling as that game was, the whole time, both Raj and Anthony found themselves wondering why ESPN was treating this game like any other random Thursday night in February.

PART TWO: What the Lakers can learn from OKC and Indiana (and especially Indiana) Jun 06, 2025

FULL: JJ Redick was great in the regular season; bad in the playoffs; has a bright future ahead Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

In the latest entry to the Lakers season review series, Anthony looks back on JJ Redick's first season as a coach. Not just an NBA coach, but as a coach, ever. Still insane to think about. Overall, we have to split this season into two segments. He was fantastic in the regular season and a bit of a disaster in the playoffs. Anthony explains why, then discusses Redick's future as a coach.

PART ONE: Make no mistake about it, JJ Redick was REALLY good in the regular season Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

We want to be absolutely clear about this: JJ Redick was fantastic in the regular season and that performance becomes all the more impressive when you consider all the context. Anthony lays it all out with the backdrop of Tom Thibodeau's firing.
