PART 2: Jeanie Buss keeps trying to re-engineer history with the Westbrook trade Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

According to Baxter Holmes, Jeanie Buss felt LeBron James didn't take enough blame for the Russell Westbrook trade. This is patently ridiculous, seeing as she had final say on the trade and her untouchable Rob Pelinka was very much for it, too.

PART 3: #PalpatineWasRight Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Harrison tackle the complicated relationship between Jeanie and her sibling's impact on the Lakers and Jerry Buss' expectations on them. More importantly, Anthony lets you know how he actually feels about the Jedi Order and their ridiculous policies.

FULL: Can we just enjoy beating the Nuggets? Jan 21, 2026

PART 1: Screw the disclaimers... That was a fun win Jan 21, 2026

Yes, there are hole to poke in this win if you want, but if you're a Laker fan doing that given how this season has gone (especially recently), Anthony wants to know why.

PART 2: Raj says bring on the Nuggets in the playoffs Jan 21, 2026

Even given the obvious caveats to this win, Raj is feeling good enough to say he wants to face the Nuggets in the playoffs. Anthony thinks he's insane.

FULL: Luka's ASG votes tell interesting story; MAILBAG; Trade Stuff; Giannis rumors Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Anthony has a couple thoughts about Lakers players' all star voting returns -- specifically Luka Doncic. He goes through those, then dives into the iTunes mailbag for a couple topics and wraps up with questions from the live audience.

PART 1: Player all star voting might mean a more competitive game... hopefully Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Luka topped all players in terms of the fan vote, but if the players had their way he wouldn't even be starting for the west. Anthony discusses some of what might be going on there and whether it might lead to a more competitive all star game. Maybe. Please?

PART 2: Lakers, LeBron want things to end amicably; Stop hoping for Giannis, Lakers Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Anthony answers a question about the LeBron-Rich-Paul-Austin ordeal and explains why neither the Lakers or LeBron want to end things on an ugly note. From there, he dips further into the bag to discuss the narratives surrounding Luka Doncic and the potential biases at play.

FULL: Hey! A blowout win! Dominayton! Timme Time! Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

That was a much-needed fun win. Didn't start out that way, but JJ Redick actually followed up his huffing and puffing with a different approach and it paid off. Anthony breaks down the win, explains why he likes Drew Timme as a viable frontcourt option and answers some questions from the live audience.
