Lakers Lounge

Luka obviously led the way but the Lakers got some pretty great performances from their role players. Anthony gives them some shine.

Even before last night's blowout win over one of the teams LeBron James has been linked to, Anthony thought the chances that he'd be back with the Lakers next year were increasing. After that win? Sure feels like that's how things should end up.

Anthony recaps a business-like win over the Wizards, bashes Washington for whatever the hell that roster is supposed to be, praises the Lakers for how they handled the game and then moves on to one of the wider-ranging Q&As in recent show history.

The Lakers picked up a win against one of the worst collections of talent Anthony has ever seen. Still, plenty to like about this game, so Anthony does just that.

Anthony answers an interesting question about expansion, dives into the Jaden Ivey situation and why Adam Silver needs to go ASAP.

Anthony gives his thoughts on the league upholding Luka Doncic's suspension (he disagrees with their decision). With yet another east coast resident showing their cards, Anthony dives into how the Lakers are discussed nationally and the impact of that coverage on the end of season awards. From there, he dives into a particularly full mailbag that covered a ton of ground.

Anthony is shocked that Luka Doncic's suspension was upheld given how little actually happened in the altercation that's going to cost him a game.

A listener threw a theory at Anthony on why Kobe Bufkin may have been signed, especially ahead of this offseason. Sure hope there's *some* benefit to signing him, because to this point there hasn't been a basketball reason for it.

As part of the live chat interaction, a viewer asked who Anthony thinks is Austin's historical comp. He gives a few possibilities, but is then reminded of who the comp actually is.

The league offered up some convoluted proposals to fix tanking, which led to a natural question: Does the NBA actually have a tanking problem? Anthony believes it does, but also doesn't believe Adam Silver is the commissioner to fix it. From there, the guys discuss the upcoming postseason and which Lakers have the most riding on them.
