    FULL: Steph, LeBron, Austin put on a show; Luka.... (lakers lost)

    Anthony breaks down a super frustrating loss that felt altogether winnable. Steph, LeBron and Austin were incredible. The Warriors' "other" guys showed up. Luka and the Lakers' other guys... not so much. Even JJ had a bad game. The end result was a win that, even given all that, felt like the Lakers could've stolen.

    PART ONE: Blame pie! Luka, JJ, other guys... come on down!

    Anthony has a lot to say about Luka, the way he was used on both ends, JJ's coaching and the role players who no-showed en route to this loss.

    PART TWO: It's not time to worry about Luka, but...

    Listeners are starting to get a little anxious about Luka Doncic and this game didn't help very much. Based on their questions and given the time of year we're in, he's going to have to turn things around with the quickness.

    LOWDOWN: The Lakers are currently the three-seed

    The Nuggets paid double for that loss to Minnesota, as they sat everyone and lost to the tanking Spurs. This means the Lakers are actually one game ahead of them in the loss column with, hopefully, a tie-breaker. In order to get said tie-breaker, the Lakers NEED to win tonight. We got all that and a Maxi Kleber "update."

    FULL: How high is the Lakers' offensive ceiling? How about the defense?

    Raj stops by to talk... the iPhone button? Well, after that, the guys discuss the Lakers offense now that Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves have been involved in sets together. From there, they wonder whether the defense can be sustained through a (hopefully lengthy) playoff run.

    PART ONE: Did you know the Apple logo on the iPhone is a button?

    No, really. The guys discuss that, then the Lakers offense with LeBron, Luka and Austin learning to play together.

    PART TWO: Will the defense hold up long enough to win multiple series?

    Anthony is that guy who complains in his community Facebook group about how people drive through the neighborhood. Also, the guys share their concerns about the defense holding up through the trials of a playoff series, or, a few of them, ideally.

    PART TWO: Byron Scott tortured Mark Madsen over analytics

    Anthony thought he remembered a story that Harrison didn't think he had quite right. This is one of those magical occasions where the actual story is so much better than the one we thought we remembered.
