    FULL: So... why *ISN'T* Luka Doncic MVP so far?

    Luka Doncic is off to one of the best starts in NBA history. Anthony marvels at it, enjoys that win over Miami, offers up what he saw that helped Austin Reaves turn things back around and just generally wonders what the hope is for Miami. He wraps with a Q&A with the live audience.

    FULL: Luka dominates Raptors; Kessler bounces back; Bench fixes; Grimes... Q&A

    The Lakers beat the Raptors behind Luka Doncic's historically impressive stat line and Walker Kessler bouncing back. The bench made the game a lot closer than it needed to be, though, so Anthony tries to figure out what can be done to fix it. He also discusses Quentin Grimes looking rather pedestrian, national media biases and wraps with Q&A.

    PART 1: Lakers top Raptors; Luka Doncic is SPECIAL

    Anthony marvels at what Luka Doncic is doing on a night by night basis. Against the Raptors, he finished with a stat line literally no one else has ever had. He compares the Lakers' bench to the Vikings run game, which says a lot.

    FULL: Raj nerds out; Can the Lakers get a two seed?

    The Lakers haven't opened strong. Things are rolling in the right direction. Injuries just keep stacking up for other teams. So long as those things continue? The guys talk about the early returns one week or so in, Jarred Vanderbilt finally getting a shot, and plenty more -- plus why both the guys think Rob Pelinka should cash in every asset he can this season.

    PART 1: Redemption, thy names are Quentin and Collin

    Collin Sexton and Quentin Grimes caught plenty of criticism from the loss to Portland only a day ago. Well, they responded with two very solid performances when the Lakers needed them. Anthony breaks down the win over the Clippers zoomed out, then celebrates Grimes and Sexton's success.

    PART 2: Vandoooooooooo

    JJ Redick is almost famously online, which means he hears or sees all the criticism of his coaching. Sometimes (as we saw with Darvin Ham), coaches will stick by their instincts out of spite because of that criticism. Anthony was happy to see Redick not do that with Jarred Vanderbilt.

    PART 2: Rob Pelinka not learning from past mistakes led to Lakers' backup center problem

    Rob Pelinka has either had an elite center with no backup or a meh center with an ok backup ever since the Lakers won a ring with an elite center and depth behind him. Anthony explains how not learning from the mistakes made since that championship led directly to Kevon Looney being on this roster right now. He wraps with a couple more questions and a few minutes laughing at the Celtics/Jaylen Brown situations.

    FULL: 3-0; Luka goes for fitty; Austin quiets critics; Kessler struggles; Q&A

    Anthony breaks down the Lakers' third win of the season against a Jazz team that presented some unique challenges. He marvel's at Luka's incredible production and Austin being a chameleon depending on what the Lakers need from possession to possession. Walker Kessler had his first bad game as a Laker and, in the process, highlighted just how thin the Lakers are behind him. Anthony wraps with a few questions from the live audience.
