Lakers Lounge

FULL: Anthony welcomes Eric Pincus (Bleacher Report/Sports Business Classroom) into The Lounge to break down the Lakers' options if they want to make a couple of their two-way players eligible for the playoffs. The guys also talk about commonly held misnomers about this new CBA and how the Lakers have been able to navigate that CBA so far.

PART ONE: Eric Pincus walks you through the Lakers' options as they round out the roster in the final month leading up to the playoffs.

PART TWO: Anthony and Eric have a fascinating conversation about the CBA and some of the widely held beliefs that aren't necessarily based in fact.

LOWDOWN: It was a rough night for the Lakers and, while JJ Redick was rightly frustrated with how they played, this one felt like a loss based on who wasn't available and the choices of players who played, too. Anthony offers up an explanation for why Christian Koloko didn't play, even if he disagrees with the logic behind it.

FULL: Anthony thought JJ Redick's comments about the Lakers' loss to the Nets were insightful, so he played them to open things up. Even granting Redick's premise, it felt like the Lakers were just too small in this game and the margins were too thin to overcome given the other problems the Lakers created for themselves.

PART ONE: Anthony found JJ Redick's postgame presser interesting so he plays it in its entirety. While Redick made fair points about shortcuts, the Lakers were also super short in this game by his choice. That should probably also be pointed out.

PART TWO: Anthony wraps up the show with comments from the live audience, which was wondering about the officiating. It was objectively bad, but the Lakers also let it get to them.

Anthony offers up the latest on all the Lakers' injuries (which is now far too long a list) and wonders whether the Lakers shifted their focus from the second seed to just getting everyone as healthy as they can before the playoffs.

FULL: Anthony welcomes Dr. Evans back into The Lounge to talk about the Lakers' lengthening injury reports, starting with LeBron James. Looks like he won't be back for a couple weeks at the soonest. They also talk about Rui Hachimura's knee and Luka Doncic's back. From there, Anthony quickly recaps the loss to the Celtics and some bad habits that caught up to the Lakers. He wraps with some questions from the various mailbags.
