Lakers Lounge

Anthony was cranky after watching yet another NBA Finals game in 720p, this time with emoji Finals trophies. He discusses OKC going big and how he doesn't like Indiana's chances as a result, then dives into the mailbags.

ESPN somehow found a way to make their presentation of the NBA Finals even worse. Anthony couldn't help but laugh at their attempt at bringing the Larry O'Brien trophy back to the telecast.

We all know the Lakers need a center. Every team they talk to also knows this. If everyone is trying to price gauge the Lakers, should they check in on a center who might actually be worth that increased price?

Anthony and Raj celebrate the game they just watched, wonder what the hell ESPN is doing with this telecast, marvel at Tyrese Haliburton, laugh at Mark Daigneault and extend lessons from both the Pacers and Thunder to the Lakers.

As thrilling as that game was, the whole time, both Raj and Anthony found themselves wondering why ESPN was treating this game like any other random Thursday night in February.

Anthony has obviously voiced his opinion on heliocentric offenses. Once again, the Pacers were able to stay attached and eventually win outright because of their diverse offense. The guys discuss why the Lakers need to take note.

In a loaded episode, Anthony is joined by Ethan Strauss to talk about, well, a lot. The guys hit on everything from this finals matchup and the inevitable poor ratings that will come of it, the discourse around this matchup heading in, Adam Silver's latest tweak to the All Star Game and LeBron taking yet another side-swipe at Brian Windhorst.

Anthony and Ethan have both noticed a rather standoffish stance from NBA media about this upcoming series and give their thoughts on this matchup and that narrative heading in.

Anthony and Ethan discuss Adam Silver's latest pleat to viewers to please baby please watch the All Star Game and their overall view of his tenure as commissioner.

In the latest entry to the Lakers season review series, Anthony looks back on JJ Redick's first season as a coach. Not just an NBA coach, but as a coach, ever. Still insane to think about. Overall, we have to split this season into two segments. He was fantastic in the regular season and a bit of a disaster in the playoffs. Anthony explains why, then discusses Redick's future as a coach.
