FULL: Luka suspended; Anti-Lakers national biases; MAILBAG Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Anthony gives his thoughts on the league upholding Luka Doncic's suspension (he disagrees with their decision). With yet another east coast resident showing their cards, Anthony dives into how the Lakers are discussed nationally and the impact of that coverage on the end of season awards. From there, he dives into a particularly full mailbag that covered a ton of ground.

PART 1: Luka was actually suspended for that??? Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

PART 2: A potential secondary reason for signing Kobe Bufkin Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

A listener threw a theory at Anthony on why Kobe Bufkin may have been signed, especially ahead of this offseason. Sure hope there's *some* benefit to signing him, because to this point there hasn't been a basketball reason for it.

Show notes

Anthony, Pete and Jovan all agree: The Lakers are legit good.

PART 2: Screw the national platforms, Luka's been incredible Mar 27, 2026

This Lakers season has turned completely around and that shift has a lot to do with Luka's recent play. But also, Luka's play all year helped keep the Lakers afloat. He's entering his prime and this season has been remarkable.
