Lakers Superstar Buffet Line Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

Four months ago, it felt uncertain that the Lakers would even have a CHANCE to grab one of the top names in the league. Suddenly, though, the list of potential 2018-19 Lakers seems to have grown to include four of the top ten players in basketball.

Eli Bauman and Dan Besbris discuss how the selection process is shaking out and how the playoffs only seem to be making the case for a meeting in sunny L.A. And yes, there is some slight delusion involved.

Thoughts as the Season Winds Down Apr 03, 2018

Show notes

With the Lakers suddenly playing without their top three ball-handlers, things have taken a turn for the ugly.

Fortunately, the season as a whole has been a rousing success.

Eli Bauman and Dr. Eric Noble discuss offseason projects for the key Lakers pieces (including basketball and haircuts), whether or not to make anything of the recent downturn in play quality, and a few season-long bets are being cashed.

Luring LeBron by Clobbering LeBron Mar 12, 2018

Show notes

The Lakers did exactly what they needed to do: they beat the Cavaliers and showed LeBron what fun NBA basketball can look like.

Eli Bauman and Dr. Eric Noble talk Jacob Emrani's LeBron billboards around Los Angeles, LeBron's weirdly sad Cavaliers, Julius Randle completely fixing his game en route to a massive, massive night, and the potential end-of-season departures of guys that are finally playing well.

Damn Dame Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

Damian Lillard singlehandedly smashed the Lakers win streak, but all is not lost as the Purple and Gold continued to show resilience and nearly beat the 3-seed in the Western Conference ... without two of its top players.

Eli Bauman, Dr. Eric Noble (live from Mickey D's) and Dan Besbris break down what went right - or wrong - in the tough loss to Portland.

Plus, thoughts on Kevin Love's moving article from the staff psychiatrist, Dr. N.

Release Your Inner Julius Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

Julius Randle is steamrolling the NBA, the Lakers have the 3rd-best record of any team in the league since the calendar flipped to 2018, Lonzo's back in full force, and Isaiah Thomas hit six triples.

All is well in Laker-Land, with the possible exception of Josh Hart's hand.

Eli Bauman and Dan Besbris join forces for a quick mid-week game reaction edition of Ball In, Ball Out!

NBA Standings Purgatory Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

Somehow, the Los Angeles Lakers aren't within 5 games of any other team in the otherwise bunched Western Conference Standings. It's a strange phenomenon that we affectionately call Standings Purgatory.

Eli Bauman, Dr. Eric Noble and Dan Besbris break down two Lakers back-to-back wins before looking ahead to the coming week. Plus, thoughts on the weird Kawhi Leonard situation and how that may impact the Lakers free agency plans.
