Lakers Lounge

JJ Redick was asked about the ways he has grown as a coach. He and Rob Pelinka answer that question, and Anthony uses it as an opportunity to discuss the ways Redick still needs to develop.

Anthony opens the door to whoever wants to give their thoughts on this series and Lakers season. He gives his own thoughts on those subjects. He then answers questions from the chat on... those same subjects.

A Thunder fan hopped on to give his props to the Lakers for their fight in this series, so Anthony also asked him to explain what's gone into this Thunder culture and how long it took to arrive here.

A fan hopped on the show to make the case for a gap year and for LeBron to head back east. Anthony gives his responses on both fronts (while understanding where those stances might have come from).

The Lakers have gotten by through halfcourt execution, but Anthony makes the case for a slight tweak in their roster-wide approach to athleticism. From there, he wraps with questions from the live audience.

The Lakers are on the brink of elimination, so Anthony discusses what they'll need to carry on from this experience. From there, he dives into the lottery results and embarks on one of the fullest mailbags in show history.

Anthony quickly discusses what he noticed from game three and zooms out to hit on what actually matters here: How the Lakers respond to one of the most lopsided series losses in Lakers history.

Anthony gives his one wish coming out of the lottery (and a scenario a lot of people around the league are talking about): The Clippers landed the fifth pick. Adam Silver, you have a job to do.

Anthony tries to handle this with the nuance and appreciation Anthony Davis deserves, but no, the Lakers and AD probably aren't linking back up anytime soon.

Anthony and Pete discuss the first couple of games and what the Lakers need to do if they're going to have a chance at extending this series. Then, they take an honest look at what separates the next tier of teams from them to figure out what the Lakers need to learn heading into this summer. From there, they dive into a discussion about OKC's manipulation of the rule book and why it's more an NBA problem than a Thunder one. To wrap things up, they answer questions from the live audience.
