The Lakers might be getting some extra help and Denver might be a little nervous a key player's health. Anthony offers up the latest on Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Jamal Murray. He once again mentions why you shouldn't play extra playoff games if you can avoid them. From there, he dives headfirst into his take on team building, and why the Suns falling on their face hammered home why he doesn't want the Lakers to move hea...

Anthony discusses the latest on a few guys who are either working their way back into form or who tweaked something and now have to recover on the fly. The Lakers say Jarred Vanderbilt is now questionable for game five and the Nuggets say Jamal Murray is questionable with a calf strain. He then goes a little long on why he'd prefer the Lakers avoid the three-star model this summer, with the Suns getting swept as his ammunition. To ...

The Lakers were able to avoid a 12th straight loss to the Denver Nuggets and listeners wanted Raj to be able to talk about a fun game for once. So he and Anthony break down the game, figure out the difference in this one compared to the previous losses, and can't help but get at least a little excited about the possibilities if game five goes the same way.

Game three was, once again, predictable, so rather than get lost in the weeds of the game, the gang turns their attention to... torturing Raj with the whole tanking conversation all over again. While that takes place (with the help of Harrison's surprise appearance), Sabreena joins the show to... help torture Raj.

The Lakers should've been solely focused on game three. Its outcome basically decided the season, right? So surely there wouldn't be other distractions to take away from that focus. Well, not exactly. First, Darvin Ham and Anthony Davis went back and forth in the media over a quote Davis gave after game two, then, after everything had pretty much died down, someone in the organization thought it worthwhile to breathe new life into ...

Anthony offers up a theory on how the Lakers would lose to the same team this many times in a row, and how much of it has to do with how the Lakers are run. At this point, Rob Pelinka's list of mistakes is quite a bit longer than that of his successes, so why is he just presumed safe? What does that say about the Lakers?

To start things off, because he is a sicko, Harrison surprises Raj with another barrage of questions about whether the Lakers were better off tanking in order to avoid the Nuggets. Then, Sabreena joined everyone to talk about this game, but the conversation quickly zooms out because the game was just that depressing. One topic that's worth sticking around for: everyone wondering why Rob Pelinka is deemed untouchable this summer.
