A daily look at the Lakers with host Anthony Irwin and a series of guests from around the NBA.
After the Lakers beat the Knicks, Anthony offered what he thought the lesson from that win was, in terms of how the Lakers need to play moving forward. Now, another huge win later playing a similar style, that lesson from the other day is getting pretty loud. He and Harrison enjoy the win, discuss this identity moving forward and then try not to sound too salty about Bam Adebayo's night. They wrap with questions from the live audience.

For basically two straight decades, LeBron could pace himself and still be/fit better than any teammate who'd play instead. That isn't necessarily the case any longer.

The Lakers competed against the Nuggets, which was a step in the right direction. They followed that up by beating the crap out of the Knicks, which sure felt great.

Anthony pushes back on the take he knows is coming, that somehow a basketball team could possibly be worse off by having LeBron James available. That said, the Lakers might need less of LeBron to get more from him.
