The SportsEthos Los Angeles Lakers Podcast

As Dick Vitale might say... the Lakers are back, baby!

The Lakers take a must-have game from the Phoenix Suns, and the club looks ready to get back on track with just four games remaining in the regular season. Ethan dives in on a solo show to talk LeBron's potential return, AD's recent run, the supporting cast, and goes into the psyche of the Lakers' struggles as the team looks to rectify the ship heading into a very unfamiliar postseason scenario.

It was definitely not an ordinary day in Lakerland. 

Dennis Schroder is lost for the regular season, we've learned that LeBron (ankle) is not a Cyborg, the Lakers won a critical game against a quality opponent on an unbelievable, potentially season-defining block from Anthony Davis, and we were all witnesses to the most special moment of them all: The Marc Gasol Revenge Game! 

Ethan & JC break down the huge W over Denver to get the Lakers back in sole possession of 1st place, discuss how how the availability of LeBron & Schroder impact the team, and what the Lakers need to harness from their effort to get back in the win column in order to keep the momentum going forward with a tough schedule ahead.

Waiting on LeBron doesn't apply to just Space Jam anymore. The Lakers have lost four of five, and as the team heads home to Staples and prepares for LeBron to rejoin the lineup in the coming week, there are many questions for this group to answer both collectively and individually. Ethan and JC sit down to go through what ails the Lakers, try to answer the team chemistry question, and sift through potential lineup adjustments as the Lakers look to reclaim their mojo.

Andre Drummond, come on down! You're the next contestant on the 2020-21 Los Angeles Lakers!

Following his buyout in Cleveland, "the other AD" has listed the Lakers as his "frontrunner" and it couldn't come at a better time given what Los Angeles has ahead on the road without LeBron or Anthony Davis.

Ethan delivers a quick-hitting solo pod to dissect Drummond's potential addition, what it means for the other bigs on the team, and how the big fella can help this team in both the current and future.

LeBron James...human being? After asking out following his high-ankle sprain, the Hoop Ball Lakers team can confirm that LeBron is in fact a human like all of us. No LBJ and no AD means the Lakers are about to really get tested. Talen Horton Tucker's improvement will jump immediately into the spotlight, Kyle Kuzma gets the role he's always clamored for, and Montrezl Harrell will continue to play a much larger role than many projected him for initially. The Lakers will be tested with a tough schedule and not a lot of rest time, and with LeBron's timeline to return completely up in the air, the supporting cast will have to deliver an A-squad effort with a B-squad roster. Ethan and JC dive into what LeBron's absence means for the fellas, especially with AD still on the sidelines, on this quick-hitting edition of the Hoop Ball Lakers podcast.
