PART TWO: Lakers' lack of creativity might end Anthony Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

The Lakers and Wolves have played four games and the Lakers' offense (especially late) has taken a trip back to the stone age. The guys talk about why this is the case and whether the Lakers can do anything about it -- or if they'll just lose this series the same way four times.

PART THREE: JJ losing Jaxson; Luka in transition; now what Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

After spending an hour talking about how the Lakers arrived here, Anthony and Raj then spend another half hour answering questions from a live audience that is also wondering how the hell the Lakers arrived here.

LOWDOWN: Well the Lakers are a loss away from disaster Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

The Lakers are a couple plays here and there from being up 3-1 heading back to L.A. Instead, the Timberwolves made those plays and have now pushed the Lakers to the brink of elimination. Anthony breaks down a truly horrendous performance from JJ Redick and what it cost the Lakers.

FULL: Yet another excruciating loss; JJ shows his inexperience Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Anthony went live right after the game and tried to break it down but it was all so raw that he just ranted for a while. JJ Redick blew this one. Rob Pelinka played a role because of the roster he's put together over the years. Luka Ball is maddening. Ant is really bleeping good. Anyway, enjoy -- or try to.

PART ONE: JJ Redick just cost the Lakers a playoff game Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

There's no way around it. JJ Redick didn't make a single sub in the second half and the Lakers ran out of gas. Now they're down 3-1 heading back to L.A. and he'll have to find a way to earn back the trust and belief of his locker room.

PART TWO: Rob Pelinka owns some of this series too Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

JJ Redick told us all he doesn't trust this roster. Well, the person who put this roster together obviously deserves blame if this series continues on the way it's gone to this point. Anthony explains, especially as it pertains to the center position.

FULL: One of the more frustrating losses of Anthony's fan lifetime Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

Anthony starts the show with optimism. We swear. He said he was gonna do it and almost ranted himself out of the plan, but he did it. From there, well, yeah, things didn't stay so optimistic. Rui, Dorian, Gabe, Vando and Hayes probably won't want to listen to this one.

PART ONE: Reasons for optimism... mostly Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

Anthony made the editorial decision live on the spot to start with optimism and it may have induced a migraine. Funny thing is: As frustrating as that loss was, there actually is reason to still believe in this team.

PART TWO: Lakers role players probably won't want to listen to this Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

After starting the show with optimism, Anthony turned his attention to why the Lakers are currently sitting down 2-1: The role players have mostly underperformed. If they don't pick it up, this is going to be a short trip to the postseason.

LOWDOWN: Lakers-Wolves game three preview Apr 25, 2025

Show notes
