PART TWO: The fun way the Lakers are actually a throwback team Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

Anthony explains how the Lakers, in their own weird way, are a throwback team. Fare thee well, analytics. We're eye testing this one.

LOWDOWN: JJ Redick called out the Lakers, they've responded Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Anthony breaks down the Lakers' comfortable win over the Nuggets (and compared it to the Nuggets' barely beating the Lakers), then narrates his latest, on the Lakers' response to JJ Redick calling them out.

FULL: So you do bleed... Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Anthony breaks down the Lakers' resounding victory over the Nuggets and the growing optimism he feels in that matchup. Luka Doncic was special early. Austin Reaves continued his stellar play. The Lakers couldn't miss from three. It sure is fun beating that team, under any circumstances.

PART ONE: The Lakers handled their business Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Anthony breaks down the Lakers' win over the Nuggets and its ramifications for the standings. Luka Doncic was incredible. Austin did what he needed to, too. The Lakers hit all the threes. Most importantly, the Nuggets are clearly beatable.

PART TWO: Austin is the __th third-best player in the league Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Anthony plays a fun game with the live audience to figure out what tier of player Austin is, then explains why he no longer cares about matchups heading into the playoffs. Get healthy and rack up wins. That's all that matters from here on out.

LOWDOWN: Injury updates ahead of Lakers-Nuggets Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Anthony offers up the latest information on who might be available as the Lakers take on the Nuggets tonight. Denver is also anxiously waiting to see who might be available for them in this one, too, so Anthony offers up why they might be shorthanded. It's also standings watch season so Anthony offered up what was going on while he was recording the episode. (Spoiler: Golden State and the Clippers both won)

FULL: Harrison on Austin's ceiling, the title window, how fun this team has been Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Anthony welcomes Harrison into The Lounge to talk about Austin Reaves. What tier of player is Reaves right now? What caliber of player can he eventually become? His contract situation is going to get a little tricky, too, so the guys talk about its impact on the Lakers' title window at least initially with Luka Doncic. They wander around a little bit from there but do wrap up the pod simply enjoying how fun this version of the team is.

PART ONE: Grow the beard, buy the fat suit Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Anthony and Harrison discuss Austin Reaves' place compared to the rest of the NBA. What tier of player is he? What is his ceiling? Harrison even breaks out a comparison that isn't as ridiculous as you'd think initially.

PART TWO: Stop and smell the roses Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Anthony and Harrison have been doing this (covering the Lakers) long enough to be able to enjoy how fun the current state of things are. They take a step back and smell the roses after laughing at the nonsense they've had to cover to get here.

LOWDOWN: The Lakers actually have some margin for error Mar 18, 2025

Show notes

LOWDOWN: Anthony marvels at some of the circumstances surrounding this team and how different this situation would've played out before the Luka Doncic trade.
