    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.

    PART 1: Comeback victory recap; So, this Luka guy (and Austin!)

    Maybe the craziest part of Luka's performance as how poorly it started. He and the Lakers dug themselves a hole in that first quarter that Austin Reaves helped chip away at until Luka brought some dynamite. Anthony discusses the game zoomed out, Doncic's performance, Austin's incredible efficiency to start the season and the impact habits had on this game's outcome.

    HOOK: Lakers' first impressions; Strengths; Weaknesses; Backup center fixes

    Anthony and Pete discuss what they saw from the Lakers in that first game and look ahead to what they think they'll see from the team moving forward this season. What do they think will be this team's strengths? Weaknesses? Can anything be done about the backup center issues? Could this issue have been avoided?

    PART 2: Which weaknesses have we seen that the Lakers can address?

    Anthony is worried about perimeter defense. Pete is a little less worried about that, but does have some concern about the rebounding. The guys discuss whether or how the Lakers can fix these issues internally or will eventually need to make a change.

    FULL: Yaxel #discourse; More Warriors game notes; Opening week takes: Q&A

    Anthony and Harrison discuss the fallout from Yaxel Lendeborg's comments about Luka Doncic and Twitter desire to drag out all these situations until they go from fun banter to nauseating debates. They give their thoughts on that blowout win and some other games from around the league. The guys wrap with a few questions from the live audience.

    PART 1: YAXELGATE

    The internet is back at its nonsense because of the Yaxel-Luka beef, which Anthony thought was so onesided we wouldn't get this kind of discourse but here we are.

    PART 1: Take it in... The Lakers are back

    Anthony breaks down the game but makes sure to spend some time enjoying the fact that the Lakers are back on the court. He highlights Luka Doncic's performance, Walker Kessler's perfection and Austin Reaves filling in the gaps.
