Anthony Davis, LeBron James falter down the stretch; Lakers blow huge opportunity May 19, 2023

Show notes

Ouch. Sure felt like the Lakers should've blown out Denver in this one but instead, the Nuggets hung around, got hot late, and stole a win at home. Now, the Lakers have to win two in a row in L.A. to get back into the series. Anthony and Raj broke down what went wrong, how to avoid those things, and just generally commiserate over a loss that's going to hurt for a while -- especially if they lose this series.

Anthony and Harrison wonder if the Nuggets just need a hug May 18, 2023

Show notes

The Lakers and Nuggets are one game into what feels like a seven-game series and Anthony is already sick of Mike Malone. The guys discuss that, the Lakers' approach to game two, and everyone stealing Harrison's bits.

Lakers - Nuggets game two preview -- Lowdown May 18, 2023

Show notes

Anthony previews what will almost assuredly be a knock-down, drag-out war between the Lakers and Nuggets in game two. Yes, the Lakers were forced into the first adjustment in the series, but what else might they have up their sleeve? He also responds to the Nuggets just generally being pretty annoying in the between-game quotes. He wraps on a series of rumors in the Lakers' division that are worth paying attention to.

Mike Trudell on reaction to, adjustments from game one May 17, 2023

Show notes

The Lakers started game one against the Nuggets with a polarizing approach. It didn't work. They did, however adjust over the course of the game and got right back into it despite Denver playing about as well as they could. So, Anthony welcomed Mike Trudell (Spectrum, LFR Pod), to discuss the game and what comes next.

Lakers drop game one to Nuggets, need to move away from small ball May 17, 2023

Show notes

The Lakers made a real run at it and showed some stuff that can be built on. Denver played a damn near perfect game and still had to sweat out the end of it at home. This series can go in any number of ways. Let's throw darts in the dark to figured out which way it might.

Pete returns to preview Lakers - Nuggets May 16, 2023

Show notes

Anthony and Pete are once again together to react to everything that's happened since they last spoke and look ahead to this fascinating Lakers-Nuggets series. Pete likes the Lakers in this matchup and eventually gives Anthony far too much confidence. They also riff a while on NBA end-of-season awards and why the system is fundamentally flawed.

Adam Mares joins for a mega Nuggets - Lakers series preview May 16, 2023

Show notes

Anthony is joined by Adam Mares of DNVR to preview Lakers - Nuggets. We're obviously biased here, but you won't find a more thorough or balanced look at this insanely balanced matchup.

(Quick note: Technical difficulties by way of the app we use to record these shows once again made it sound like Anthony is talking into a tin can. Out apologies. As Anthony explains, though, we're going to make it up to you as early as a few hours from now)

Is this Lakers season already a success? May 15, 2023

Show notes

Wow, what a weekend. Anthony recaps what the Lakers did to win their series against the Warriors and expands on whether those things can carry over to their Western Conference Finals matchup against the Nuggets. Then, he opens up the mailbag to answer a couple of your questions.

Lakers punch their ticket to the Western Conference Finals May 13, 2023

Show notes

Anthony and Raj immerse themselves in the experience that was game six. The Lakers beat the Warriors in a way that had Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson on bench for what could be the end of their dynastic run together. They heap praise on AD, try to contextualize what they've seen from Austin Reaves, and present a potentially terrifying scenario for the teams left regarding LeBron James.

Brady Klopfer on Lakers-Warriors game six getting real, potential fallout for both sides from this series May 12, 2023

Show notes

Anthony welcomes back Brady Klopfer of Golden State of Mind to get ready for what will almost certainly be an instant classic. Game six is going to be insane, and watching the series shift from undeniable respect from both sides to, "hey wait we have to win this thing" has been fascinating. The guys discuss that, and then turn their attention to where Golden State goes if they fall short in game six. The ripple effects here stretch across the league potentially.
