    PART 3: JJ Redick on JJ Redick's own growth

    FULL: Fin.

    Anthony opens the door to whoever wants to give their thoughts on this series and Lakers season. He gives his own thoughts on those subjects. He then answers questions from the chat on... those same subjects.

    PART 3: Lakers need "sprint everywhere" guys

    The Lakers have gotten by through halfcourt execution, but Anthony makes the case for a slight tweak in their roster-wide approach to athleticism. From there, he wraps with questions from the live audience.

    PART 2: How the lottery results impact the Lakers

    Anthony gives his one wish coming out of the lottery (and a scenario a lot of people around the league are talking about): The Clippers landed the fifth pick. Adam Silver, you have a job to do.

    THE HOOK: What lessons can the Lakers learn from this postseason?

    Anthony and Pete discuss the first couple of games and what the Lakers need to do if they're going to have a chance at extending this series. Then, they take an honest look at what separates the next tier of teams from them to figure out what the Lakers need to learn heading into this summer. From there, they dive into a discussion about OKC's manipulation of the rule book and why it's more an NBA problem than a Thunder one. To wrap things up, they answer questions from the live audience.

    PART 1: The Lakers NEED to get faster this summer

    The speed deficit the Thunder have both from personnel and approach standpoints has become overwhelming and, while that obviously can't be addressed before this series ends, Anthony and Pete agree it's something the Lakers need to focus on this summer.

    PART 2: CALL THE ANNEXATION OF PUERTO RICO

    Anthony quotes a movie to Pete in discussing how he'd like to see JJ Redick throw the kitchen sink at OKC. The guys wrap with questions from the live audience, who are now just about ready to move on to summer discussions.

    FULL: Look, the Thunder are clearly better, but...

    Anthony and Raj recap another loss in OKC -- a borderline unwatchable game that was dominated not by the Thunder's star power, but by a bunch of refs who couldn't help themselves. The guys discuss the state of refereeing, grifting and why so many teams have the same complaint after playing OKC.

    PART 1: Why everyone hates OKC

    Anthony and Raj start by talking about the game, and how Austin Reaves finally bounced back. Raj held Anthony off for as long as he could but eventually Anthony unleashed the rant about the refs and OKC that you're probably here to listen for.

    PART 2: OKC is too good for this nonsense

    Anthony wraps up his rant from the first segment, then recalls the time OKC tried to pretend to sub in a player just to slow down Nikola Jokic's outlet passes after makes.

    PART 3: LeBron needs to come back after all this

    LeBron has had to sit around and wait for Rob Pelinka to finally believe in the stars atop the roster again for basically four years now. He's proven once again he should be a key piece for the Lakers moving forward. The guys discuss that, as well as the NBA's awful review system.

    PART 4: What happened to Jake LaRavia?

    Jake LaRavia has found the lights in the playoffs to be quite bright. He's been terrified on offense, so even the solid defense he's played has been overshadowed by the yips he's apparently picked up. The guys discuss what they're seeing from LaRavia and answer questions from the live audience.
