Challenges Await in the Central Division Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

The fellas are back and it ain't all unicorns and sunshine this time around on the Hoop Ball Lakers podcast! In this quick look-ahead episode, JC & Ethan expect the Lakers to reassert their defensive identity after an embarrassing loss against the Warriors. The Bucks present a (literally) tall task, and the Bulls follow with different challenges of their own, so the Lakers will need to be locked in and engaged for the full 48: Something we haven't always seen this season. Ethan & JC also talk about the need to expand Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's role, THT becoming DNP, and where the minutes could continue to get shifted around.

It's a pretty view at the top! The Lakers sit in dominant position atop the NBA, and heavy is the head that wears the crown as LeBron, AD and the boys look to keep things rolling. JC & Ethan are back to give props to Kyle Kuzma—you read that right—discuss THT's still evolving role, and spend a good chunk of time discussing LeBron's production, his legacy, and his becoming a Laker in the truest sense of the word. Plus, Ethan goes full Stephen A. Smith and delivers a take on the James Harden trade that you CANNOT miss! The fellas also give it up for KCP, hit on Schroder vs. Caruso, and preview the week ahead as the Lakers prepare to hit the road again. It's all good in the hood, Lakerland!

7-3 First 10 is Absolutely Fine Jan 09, 2021

Show notes

On this solo edition of the Hoop Ball Lakers podcast, Ethan takes you through the Lakers' 7-3 start and reasons to feel fantastic about the way Los Angeles has started the season. Despite some questions surrounding effort and the Lakers continuing to experiment with the lineup, the Lakers still look every bit like the NBA's team to beat. Ethan gives you some promising stats to support the solid start, addresses KCP's absence and his importance to the team, dissects the play of LeBron and AD, and, of course, it wouldn't be complete without bringing you another update on the Kyle Kuzma and Talen Horton-Tucker fronts.

Rematch Sweep in San Antonio Jan 02, 2021

Show notes

The Lakers are 4-2, but an ankle injury to KCP will again force Frank Vogel's hand to be creative with his Lakers lineups. JC and Ethan break down the start, how the Lakers can move forward sans KCP & Caruso (COVID-19 protocols), and what the fellas would like to see from this Lakers team going forward.

The guys also hit on some potential rotation tweaks like more Kieff minutes at the expense of Trez, check-in on both Kuz and THT, and wonder about the shift in identity and how the Lakers can protect the paint as the season progresses. All aboard!
