Calif Poncy from the Suave Report is back as he and Gerald talk about the rash of major injuries to start the season. How do the injuries to Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace affect the season for the Thunder, and what other injuries have fans been concerned about for their teams? They also discuss the early returns from this year's rookie class and whether the Kings or Pelicans are on track to have the worst season of the decade. All this, and Calif has thoughts on the start of some NBA teams to decide if their beginning of the season is "real or not real?" The season is already one week old, but we've got you covered with it right here on the LFB as we continue to provide the best in NBA Observations!

The Lakers, on the second of a back-to-back, head just a short trip away to face off in Round Two with the Los Angeles Clippers. And with no Luka Doncic (back stiffness) or Ziaire Williams (left foot soreness) in the lineup, it took a collective effort from the Lakers' defense (15 steals, 24 forced turnovers) and better performances from Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, and Matisse Thybulle to spearhead a strong first half to a double-digit lead, then cruise the rest of the way for an easy 103-87 victory. Tune in as the guys from the LFB break down the game, determine if sitting down Luka Doncic (back) was a good idea, and let you know what's up next for the team. It's the Lakers and Clippers once again as the season starts to pick up some steam, and we've got it covered for you right here on the postgame on the Lakers Fast Break channel!

The Lakers looked to continue their unbeaten start to the season in the first game of a back-to-back at the Crypt as they faced off against the Portland Trail Blazers. And in a game where defense was definitely NOT at a premium, the Lakers' high-octane offense was just not enough as key baskets by Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard propelled Portland to a late 136-129 victory. Check in with the guys from the LFB as they share their thoughts on the game, the MAJOR injuries plaguing the league, the ESPN report on the chaos going on with team ownership, and what's ahead for the team next. The Lakers and Blazers faced off in LA, and we've got you covered as always right here for the postgame on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!

The Lakers set out on their first trip of the season with a stop in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz. And with Utah getting out to an early 18-point lead, it looked like the good start to the season would be in jeopardy. But the Lakers came back with a 45-24 second quarter, and then went back and forth in a real nail-biter the rest of the game. Fortunately, the Lakers had Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, who took over the fourth quarter, and with a combined 81 points, including an NBA season-high 52 and 10 assists from Luka, the Lakers took control late to seal a 132-123 victory over Utah. Stop by the postgame to see what the LFB thinks about what happened in Sunday's game, and what's up ahead for the Purple and Gold. The Lakers take to the road as they try to send the Jazz off on a sour note, and we've got you covered for it right here as part of another great Lakers Weekend right here on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!

The Lakers finish off their first week of the season at the Crypto.com Arena with a matchup against their crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles "Cheaters"- uh, we mean Clippers. And despite the game being marred by 46 turnovers between the two teams, the Lakers rose above the sloppiness to hold off the Clips 125-117 behind strong performances from Austin Reaves (28 points, 9 assists) and Walker Kessler (22 points, 6 blocks). Check in as the guys from the LFB share their thoughts on the game and what's ahead for the team as they take to the road starting this weekend to the mountains of Utah. The Battle for Los Angeles begins again as the scandal-ridden Clippers visit our Los Angeles Lakers, and we break it all down right here on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!
