    Lakers Fans React to Bam Adebayo's 83 Point Game... Plus, Injuries Again an Issue? Mar 12, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers are rolling, and feeling pretty good about themselves.

    All the more reason to pay attention on Thursday against Chicago to what is undoubtedly a trap game. The Lakers have huge games just around the corner, with Houston, Denver, Orlando and more, so it'll be easy to overlook a Bulls team that has a couple decent players but overall is pretty darn lousy.

    That the Lakers will likely be without LeBron James and Marcus Smart only drives home the need to pay attention. Taking care of business is an important step in continuing the upward trajectory the team currently enjoys.

    From there, it's all about Bam Adebayo and his 83-point game on Tuesday against Washington. Lakers fans, like many NBA observers, didn't receive it well. Of course for Lakers fans, the significance of Kobe's 81-point game, which is now third in single game scoring, has meaning on multiple levels.

    More points, though, doesn't necessarily mean more impressive, and to say the least, what each of these games represents for the players themselves is different.

    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a trap game coming Thursday night.


    SEGMENT 2: Bam gets 83 for Miami.


    SEGMENT 3: Lakers fans react to Adebayo's performance.

    Deandre Ayton Found His Groove Again? Did Postgame Press Conference Mean Anything? Mar 11, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers have an enigma at center, everyone knows that. On Tuesday, Deandre Ayton was a key piece of the team's success in a critical win over Minnesota.

    It's fair to say, though, that those results haven't been the standard since about the first five weeks of the year.

    It's also fair to say that there are games -- Sunday against the Knicks being a great example -- where Ayton plays well and the numbers don't jump off the page... and people still complain. Likely many who didn't watch the game. What matters for the Lakers, though, is a lot of the eye test stuff. How engaged is he? How quickly is he moving defensively? Is he battling on the boards? Setting hard screens?

    That stuff is often going to matter more than the number of points he scores, because on a team with Luka, Reaves and LeBron, there are only so many shots to be had.

    But getting Ayton on track consistently is a big thing for the Lakers if they want to move forward.

    Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Aggressive Defense Give Lakers a 120-106 Win Over Minnesota Mar 11, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers had a major confidence building win over the Knicks Sunday at Crypto.com, and Tuesday they hoped to send a message with another resounding win.

    Mission accomplished.

    In a game that started as a rock fight where neither team could seem to buy a bucket, the Lakers would find their stride and put some space between them and the Wolves, using a dominant third quarter to pull away and build a lead they'd never come close to giving up. Final score, 120-106. Luka Dončić finishes with 31/11/11, with a pair of steals and a block. Austin Reaves was excellent as well, nearly finishing with a triple double of his own - 31/7/8, with only one turnover.

    But those two had help. Deandre Ayton was excellent, with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Luke Kennard had 10 points, and Jake LaRavia was an inspiration, getting beat up left and right but still figuring out ways to contribute.

    So in the end, the Lakers pick up a big win that leaves them sitting in fourth in a crowded Western Conference, winners of six of their last seven games and a chance to get another on Thursday against an extremely mid Bulls team.

    All of a sudden the vibes have changed.

    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get a big win vs. Minnesota.

    SEGMENT 2: Luka and Reaves thrive.

    SEGMENT 3: Finding a real stride defensively?

    Can the Lakers Build Momentum Vs. Minnesota, or was Sunday's Win a Fluke? Mar 10, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers rightly felt good about themselves following Sunday's win over the Knicks at home, playing arguably their best defensive game of the season, holding one of the league's best offensive teams under 100 points.

    For a team that had struggled mightily to play good ball against good opposition, it was a significant win in ways going beyond the standings. Now the challenge is to build on it, as another Western Conference contender comes to town. With a win over Minnesota, the Lakers could put themselves back in the top four in the Western Conference, and go a little farther not just in quieting the critics, but also giving themselves the sort of confidence boost that, if we're all being honest, would be beneficial.

    Of course, who plays is a big question. LeBron James is listed as questionable, adding a bruised hip to his list of ailments.

    Whether he plays or not, the Lakers will need big nights from Austin Reaves, who has been excellent in two games against Minnesota this year, and also supporting players like Deandre Ayton.

    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are trying to keep momentum going.

    SEGMENT 2: What to watch for vs. Minnesota.

    SEGMENT 3: Playing baby LeBron 1-on-1? Plus PT for Adou Thiero?

    Does Sunday's Win Over New York Indicate the Lakers Better Without LeBron James? Mar 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers scored a big win Sunday over the Knicks, 110-97. It was quite possibly the best defensive game they've played all season. Many fans noted that LeBron James spent the game in street clothes (foot, elbow) and made a straight line connection to his absence and the results.

    So are the Lakers better off without LeBron?

    Broadly, no. But are they less complicated? Probably.

    And where does LeBron's presence have the most negative impact? It's not on the side of the ball people tend to look.

    And the debate itself reflects how a certain section of fans has always felt about LeBron as a Laker.

    Lakers Defense Fuels 110-97 Win Over New York, Luka Dončić Scores 35, Austin Reaves 25 Mar 09, 2026
    Show notes

    Lakers fans (and NBA observers) have spent much of the year discounting the team's fairly impressive record by noting that most of the losses have come against the league's more successful teams. Often in blowout fashion. When will LA beat good the good teams?

    Well, Sunday the Knicks rolled into Crypto.com Arena as a Certified Good Team, and the Lakers used great defense, consistent effort and good-enough offensive performances to grind out a 110-97 win. It wasn't perfect, and the Lakers benefitted from cold shooting by the New York. But that's true of almost every game across the league. The Lakers controlled this one more or less throughout. They used strong physical play to frustrate the Knicks and particularly Jalen Brunson, for three quarters at least.

    In terms of individual performances, Luka Dončić paced the squad with 35 points. Austin Reaves came out aggressive and finished with 25. How important was Marcus Smart defensively? He was 1-10 from the floor, and finished a +26. Luke Kennard and Rui Hachimura combined for 25 points. The team put pressure on the rim, getting to the line 30 times, and kept turnovers (13) at a reasonable level.

    The offense definitely bogged down -- you noticed the absence of LeBron James -- but it was a nice twist for the team to be bailed out repeatedly by its defense.

    It's a nice confidence boost as the Lakers head into a stretch of very difficult games.

    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers win, over a good team!

    SEGMENT 2: An aggressive Austin Reaves.

    SEGMENT 3: Still need more from the offense.

    Luka Scores 44 Points in 3 Quarters, Lakers Cruise Over Pacers, 128-117 Mar 07, 2026
    Show notes

    Sometimes your best player decides he's going to win the game early.

    That was Luka Dončić on Friday against Indiana. With the Lakers short LeBron James, Deandre Ayton and Maxi Kleber, Luka was in control from the jump, helping the Lakers get out to an early lead (despite some inconsistencies in the team's play) that they never gave up. For good measure, Donćić added nine boards and three steals. Austin Reaves was ice cold early, but rallied to finish with 19/5. Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard all finished in double figures as well.

    Was it an inspiring victory? It was not. But it was a palate cleanser for the Lakers after a disappointing loss Thursday in Denver.

    Now the Lakers start a really tough stretch of games, beginning Sunday against the Knicks.

    What Can LeBron James Give the Lakers Down the Stretch and In the Playoffs? Mar 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Thursday, LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all time leader in field goals. Impressive! And part of a string of records and "passed (player) to become (thing)" accomplishments he'll continue piling up until he quits.

    But while it's cool for the Lakers to have this stuff happen while he's wearing the purple and gold, the bigger question for this season is how his play, which has definitely improved after a slow start, can be a contributing factor to a strong stretch run and postseason. Since the calendar turned to 2026, LeBron has looked much more like the guy we've been accustomed to over the last two decades... but not totally that guy. Both the floor and ceiling are a little lower, the length of time he can control games a little shorter.

    Still really good, but different. So what does that mean for the next 20 games, and what the Lakers still hope will be a real playoff run? What is LeBron able to add to that effort? And is he the player we should be talking about?

    The Lakers Fight Hard, but Miss Opportunities In 120-113 Loss to Denver Mar 06, 2026
    Show notes

    The Lakers started Thursday's game about as poorly as you could imagine, failing to get a bucket and turning it over. Denver went up 11-0 before the Lakers even scratched.

    It meant the Lakers were playing uphill the rest of the way, and will be kicking themselves over the results.

    They chipped away and chipped away over the course of the game, and put themselves in a position to win, using strong defense that turned into offense. They got some timely shooting (until they didn't). But in the end, the hole they were trying to climb out of was too deep. Final score, 120-113. Luka Donćić scored 27 points, adding 11 boards and seven dimes. He also picked up what appeared to be a dubious 15th technical foul of the season. LeBron James and Austin Reaves each had an efficient 16, and Rui Hachimura had 16 as well. (His best game ina a while.)

    Jaxson Hayes, who played big minutes after Deandre Ayton left with a bum knee, piled up a bunch of dunks en route to 19 points.

    The Lakers will likely be kicking themselves for not finishing out the comeback, letting a game that ultimately was there for the taking get away.

    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

    SEGMENT 1: The Lakers fight but fall short.

    SEGMENT 2: The Lakers will be kicking themselves.

    SEGMENT 3: LeBron sets records.
