FULL: Lessons the Lakers must learn from these playoffs; Lottery reaction; MEGA MAILBAG May 11, 2026

Show notes

The Lakers are on the brink of elimination, so Anthony discusses what they'll need to carry on from this experience. From there, he dives into the lottery results and embarks on one of the fullest mailbags in show history.

PART 1: This Thunder series is the beginning of... something May 11, 2026

Show notes

Anthony quickly discusses what he noticed from game three and zooms out to hit on what actually matters here: How the Lakers respond to one of the most lopsided series losses in Lakers history.

PART 2: How the lottery results impact the Lakers May 11, 2026

Show notes

Anthony gives his one wish coming out of the lottery (and a scenario a lot of people around the league are talking about): The Clippers landed the fifth pick. Adam Silver, you have a job to do.

PART 3: With the Wizards winning the lottery, could an AD return happen? May 11, 2026

Show notes

Anthony tries to handle this with the nuance and appreciation Anthony Davis deserves, but no, the Lakers and AD probably aren't linking back up anytime soon.

THE HOOK: What lessons can the Lakers learn from this postseason? May 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Pete discuss the first couple of games and what the Lakers need to do if they're going to have a chance at extending this series. Then, they take an honest look at what separates the next tier of teams from them to figure out what the Lakers need to learn heading into this summer. From there, they dive into a discussion about OKC's manipulation of the rule book and why it's more an NBA problem than a Thunder one. To wrap things up, they answer questions from the live audience.

PART 1: The Lakers NEED to get faster this summer May 08, 2026

Show notes

The speed deficit the Thunder have both from personnel and approach standpoints has become overwhelming and, while that obviously can't be addressed before this series ends, Anthony and Pete agree it's something the Lakers need to focus on this summer.

PART 2: CALL THE ANNEXATION OF PUERTO RICO May 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony quotes a movie to Pete in discussing how he'd like to see JJ Redick throw the kitchen sink at OKC. The guys wrap with questions from the live audience, who are now just about ready to move on to summer discussions.

FULL: Look, the Thunder are clearly better, but... May 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Raj recap another loss in OKC -- a borderline unwatchable game that was dominated not by the Thunder's star power, but by a bunch of refs who couldn't help themselves. The guys discuss the state of refereeing, grifting and why so many teams have the same complaint after playing OKC.

PART 1: Why everyone hates OKC May 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Raj start by talking about the game, and how Austin Reaves finally bounced back. Raj held Anthony off for as long as he could but eventually Anthony unleashed the rant about the refs and OKC that you're probably here to listen for.

PART 2: OKC is too good for this nonsense May 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony wraps up his rant from the first segment, then recalls the time OKC tried to pretend to sub in a player just to slow down Nikola Jokic's outlet passes after makes.
