Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Harrison haven't spoken on the pod since this series started, so they give their quick thoughts on what has impressed them most about the Lakers' performance thus far. More importantly than that, Harrison tells the story of his recent attempt at gambling that absolutely brought tears to Anthony's eyes.

Raj has been living out his dream this year, and is capping off that experience with covering playoff games in person. He and Anthony talk about the 2-0 lead the Lakers have earned, what's made it possible, where the Lakers might go from here and everything in-between.

Anthony talks to Raj about the various advantages the Lakers have built for themselves in this series, from leadership to physicality to even the crowd, this has been a fantastic start to the postseason.

The guys poke a little fun at Ime Udoka, discuss Deandre Ayton outplaying Alperen Sengun and celebrate Raj's shoutout from Brian Windhorst.

The Lakers did it again. They beat the Rockets, this time with Kevin Durant in the lineup. Anthony recaps the game, marvels at LeBron James' performance, celebrates the Marcus Smart/Luke Kennard combination and answers questions form the live audience -- who happened to provide the perfect Alperen Sengun comp.

The Lakers won this game and Anthony just can't help but marvel at what LeBron James is doing in this series at this age.

Anthony asked the live audience for Alperen Sengun comps and one listener absolutely took him out. This happened while Anthony was answering questions from the live audience and heaping praise on the Lakers' current starting backcourt.

The Lakers once again received zero final nominations for award season, so the guys discuss the actually nominees and why the Lakers continue to sit on the outside looking in on those conversations. The Lakers are, however, on the inside looking ahead in these playoffs. The guys discuss game one, the adjustments they're looking for and whether that first game changed how they feel about this team in the postseason moving forward.

Anthony, Pete and Jovan give their thoughts on the Lakers unsurprisingly remaining on the outside looking in of award season.

The Lakers have things they can clear up, but on top of that, a series is often defined by the adjustments from game to game either team can make. Anthony asks Jovan and Pete what they're both looking for in game two.
