Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Raj try to figure out a way to productively talk about the most disappointing and, frankly, disastrous outcome of the season.

The Lakers were steamrolled by the Thunder. The guys try to figure out what they just watched.

March was incredible. It was fun. It showed real promise. April............ not so much. So, for the whatever-how-many-th time, who are the Lakers? Is this a core they can really build around?

Anthony and Raj discuss whether the month the Lakers came off of before getting boatraced by the Thunder was real. Raj uses an ages-old cliche that Anthony find super duper dark. They wrap with questions from the live audience.

Anthony and Harrison dive into the online debates about MVP and how they can be impacted by voter/analyst biases. From there, they outline what has to happen for Luka to win the award. Both guys have also seen all the speculation about LeBron's future and they both think the answer to all that is pretty simple. They wrap with some questions from the live audience.

It's no longer enough to say a fan wants their guy to win MVP. Now, it's become crucial that every other candidate also sucks. The guys discuss this through the lens of how people are talking about Luka Doncic.

Anthony and Harrison wrap up the Luka MVP discussion and then wind up on the same page about what LeBron's options are after this season. Neither Anthony nor Harrison see a better option than just return to the Lakers after this season.

The Lakers have everything going for them right now which means it's time for Rob Pelinka to start making appearances again wearing jackets with way too many zippers.

Cleveland presented another test that this Lakers team has been passing with flying colors recently. Last night's game was no different. Anthony breaks down the game, what it meant, some individual performances and then answers questions from the live audience.

Luka was spectacular. Again. At some point, hopefully, people will stop focusing as much on the things he doesn't do to their expectations and spend a little more energy on the incredible things he does on the court.
