PART ONE: Can the Lakers actually fight their way through all these injuries? Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

PART TWO: Anthony should probably believe in the Thunder more Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

PART TWO: The Thunder profile as a tremendous postseason threat but for a few reasons, Anthony just can't get behind them. He and Raj talk about that, then Raj calls Jayson Tatum the Thunder of NBA stars and that launches its own rabbit hole.

PART THREE: How has no one talked to Larry David and Stephen A. vs LeBron??? Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

PART THREE: Larry David was sitting right there for all of LeBron James confronting Stephen A. Smith and we haven't heard from him at all on the matter. Brutal missed opportunity there. The guys have some fun with that, then move on to live questions and comments.

LOWDOWN: Lakers too small, inefficient in loss to Nets; Where's Koloko? Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

LOWDOWN: It was a rough night for the Lakers and, while JJ Redick was rightly frustrated with how they played, this one felt like a loss based on who wasn't available and the choices of players who played, too. Anthony offers up an explanation for why Christian Koloko didn't play, even if he disagrees with the logic behind it.

FULL: Shortcuts Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

FULL: Anthony thought JJ Redick's comments about the Lakers' loss to the Nets were insightful, so he played them to open things up. Even granting Redick's premise, it felt like the Lakers were just too small in this game and the margins were too thin to overcome given the other problems the Lakers created for themselves.
