Hart of a Champion Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

Could the moniker move from Derek Fisher to a man whose name is actually "Hart?"

Eli Bauman and Dan Besbris discuss Josh Hart's ascension into draft day steal territory, the reemergence of Brook Lopez's game, the Lakers road win over the Thunder, an easy crushing of the undermanned Phoenix Suns, a front office finally starting to play some PR games, and, of course, the team going 11-4 over their last 15.

It's a good time to be a Laker fan again, and the trade deadline makes life even crazier. Ball In, Ball Out is back!

King Kuzma & Wild Stories from the League Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

The Lakers are taking over the Rising Stars Game, and for good reason. Kyle Kuzma is proving himself to be for real, and a win over the Celtics last week showed why everyone is so high on the youngster.

Dr. Eric Noble, Dr. Sunny Gill, Eli Bauman (from Minneapolis!) and Dan Besbris gather to discuss the last three Lakers games, free agency, Magic Johnson's ultra-weird job effort, and how stories from around the league impact the Lakers fortunes.

The Rise of the Great Caruso Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

He's a passing wizard that dunked so hard he may have caused a power outage elsewhere in Los Angeles. He's prematurely balding. He's not Lonzo Ball, but he's running the Lakers offense.

He's Alex "The Great" Caruso.

Dr. Eric Noble and Dan Besbris convene to discuss this replacement point guard option, plus a deep dive on free throw shooting, meditation, and that time Dan got stranded in the middle of northern California with only wheat grass to survive.

First Banana, Second Banana Jan 14, 2018

Show notes

The Lakers are riding high on the first three (and now, four!) game win streak of the season!

Dr. Eric Noble, Eli Bauman and Dan Besbris take a stroll through the excellent week that was, plus deep dives on improving defense, poor free throw shooting, Brandon Ingram's passing, and the 1998 NBA Draft.

Lakers Dukkha Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

Dr. Eric Noble returned from his 10-day silent meditation to teach the class a bit about suffering and hardship ... but no one needed the lesson, with the Lakers fighting through a tough stretch.

Dan, Eli and Eric convene for their first in-person podcast in weeks to discuss the nice win over the Hawks, the upcoming battle with rivals from Sacramento, and a little Cedric Ceballos trivia session.

Harrison Faigen and Lakers Bottoming Out Jan 04, 2018

Show notes

The Lakers are losing games, but perhaps more importantly (and certainly more upsetting) the Lakers are dealing with some locker room issues. Can the Thunder coming to town cure what ails this team as the media focus turns outside the home team?

Harrison Faigen of LockedOn Lakers joins Dan Besbris and Eli Bauman to discuss a rough month of December, and what could help solve some problems as the purple and gold rumbles into 2018.

Three Games of Slippage Dec 27, 2017

Show notes

After a resounding and seemingly momentum-building win over the Houston Rockets on the road, the Los Angeles Lakers have played progressively less inspired basketball in each subsequent game.

And with a key matchup against some fellow re-builders from Memphis looming, LA needs to figure things out quickly. Dan Besbris and Dr. Eric Noble discuss the last week of Lakers action, plus Damian Lillard's low cut sport coat!
