PART 1: The Lakers' transition problem; Suns loss quotes weren't great Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Anthony found a stat (point offs turnovers in wins v losses) that he thinks tells the consistent story to the Lakers' losses this season -- which often have come in blowout fashion.

PART 2: The Giannis conversation Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Giannis scrubbed his social media clean of almost anything having to do with the Milwaukee Bucks. Doing so in the middle of the season after his team fell out of the play-in race prooooooobably isn't the best sign. Anthony breaks it down.

Show notes

The Lakers are consistently underperforming against a specific kind of team. This is now a trend that dates back to how they were eliminated last season. How nervous should we be about this?
