Lakers Lounge

PART TWO: The Lakers need to use that loss in Boston as a learning opportunity. Anthony breaks that down, then answers questions from the audience. People are wondering when the Lakers will make their final tweaks to the roster.

FULL: Anthony and Raj take you through that game blow-by-blow and marvel at the floor Luka Doncic and LeBron James give the Lakers, to where, yes, they struggled for most of the game, but it doesn't matter because they're going to keep them close. They talk about the issues the Knicks gave them, then have discussions about Luka making Nico Harrison looks worse by the game, Draymond Green sound a whole lot like old media and finish with some live audience questions.

PART ONE: The Lakers won a game they had no business winning and yet, Anthony and Raj had a ton of confidence the longer the fourth went on and the Lakers were within striking distance. That's a pretty crazy thing to say about a team that is so clearly still ironing out some wrinkles.

PART TWO: Anthony and Raj discuss what goes into the amount of confidence they had in the Lakers in this game even when things weren't going well and how the offense can still reach a borderline incomprehensible level.

PART THREE: Anthony has some thoughts on Draymond Green's "apology" to Karl-Anthony Towns for making up a story about him avoiding Jimmy Butler when, in reality, Towns missed that game because of a death in his inner circle of friends.

Anthony offers up the latest on Austin Reaves, Jordan Goodwin and Rui Hachimura, as well as Karl-Anthony Towns of the Knicks ahead of tonight's game. He then gives his thoughts on the matchup, something he'll be doing more of on Lowdowns from here on out. Games are going to get more important so we may as well treat them as such.

FULL: Anthony welcomes Jovan back into The Lounge to talk about the Lakers as legitimate championship contenders. Statistically, the Lakers have been more impressive on defense. What's incredible to think about is what they're capable of on offense. They talk about all this, what the last month as been like, the Lakers' injury situations and how the rest of the league feels about the Luka Doncic trade (spoiler: not great).

PART ONE: Anthony and Jovan get a kick out of the fact that they finally get to be optimistic on a sow together because the Lakers are just legit.

PART TWO: Anthony and Jovan discuss LeBron's approach since the Luka trade and how cool it's been to watch him become a super three-and-d wing. They also talk about what has been the key to JJ Redick's success this season.

LOWDOWN: Anthony recaps the Lakers' seventh-straight win, marvels at LeBron James and Luka Doncic, laughs at Shake Milton's incredible plus-minus and celebrates other role players who helped make that win happen.
