Lakers Lounge

Anthony wraps up his discussion on Rui Hachimura, then is asked about LeBron's injury and when an update might be coming.

This is one of the most fulfilling wins the Lakers might have all year. Anthony and Raj enjoy it, highlight some of the individual performances from it, then discuss the culture the Lakers are starting to build.

Anthony is thrilled the Kangz let Jake LaRavia walk. And that the Blazers let Ayton walk. And that there were multiple really dumb teams in the NBA. Raj, being the kind soul he is, found nicer language to use. Boy, what a fun win that was.

Deandre Ayton had an actual revenge game in Portland. The guys talk about his performance, then discuss the culture that's being built before our very eyes.

All things considered, the Lakers are racking up wins and keeping pace in the brutal west. Now, if they could ever get healthy, they could join the conversation among the league's title contenders.

Maybe it was the post-World Series bliss, but Anthony really enjoyed this win against the Heat and the things he saw on and off the court.

Anthony breaks down the game on a macro level, then dives into a few individual performances.

Anthony noticed a certain someone getting increasingly active on the sideline as the Lakers continue to play winning basketball. He compares this process to one Lakers fans should remember well.

Anthony and Pete discuss why they've liked what they've seen from the Lakers this season and believe LeBron has to, which made them start to wonder what it could look like when the big three is available. The level of offensive efficiency could be off the charts.

Anthony and Pete have both loved the basketball the Lakers have played so far, as well as the basketball they've seen around the association.
