The Lakers, reeling from the loss to the Nets on Friday remain home as they faced off Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers must have learned from their last experience against a losing team as they grabbed the lead early and proceeded to outpace the Blazers to an easy victory. Tune in as the guys from the Lakers Fast Break share thoughts on the Lakers getting back to .500, if the Lakers' change to the starting lineup was an effective one, and if the team can get back to some winning ways. The Lakers finally got a big lead and kept it and we'll talk about it on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!

Joe is back for a nightcap as he's joined by "MagicMan" Sean Grice as they talk about the Lakers getting killed Friday night against Brooklyn.

The Lakers looked to close out what could have been a very good week as the freefalling Brooklyn Nets made their way to the Crypt on Friday night. But the Lakers, given every opportunity to take control of the game in the first half decided to make little effort to defend the 19 threes made by Brooklyn as they swept on by the Lakers and cruised to a 130-112 victory over LA. Tune in as the guys from the Lakers Fast Break share their disgust and anger over how the Lakers let it fall apart, why Darvin Ham's coaching is again of great concern to Lakers fans, and why this team's prospects for the season seem to be fading into dust. The guys are mad they had to sit through a dumpster fire yet again and they'll let you know about it on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!

Without LeBron James in the lineup, the Lakers looked to overcome a downward spiral as they went to Salt Lake City to face the Jazz. But a valiant Lakers effort for three quarters began to fade as a parade of free throws (36-39) for Utah became too much as they got outscored 132-125 by the Jazz. Tune in as the guys from the Lakers Fast Break share thoughts on whether this was payback by the refs for the Toronto game, why AD's poor shooting was a big factor in the loss, why the returning backcourt of starters D'Lo and AR kept them close, and what's Lebron's loss meant for the team. Plus Henry Hill from Courtside Lakers stops by as he has opinions on the coaching and if Darvin Ham got outmaneuvered once again. The Lakers get hit a bad tune as the Jazz send them to a 19-21 record and we're here to talk about it on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!
