    PART 2: Have the Lakers reshuffled their creation diagram?

    Anthony has noticed a trend in who gets which possessions and it appears as if the Lakers are approaching things somewhat differently.

    FULL: Lakers share more Dodgers execs; Can the Lakers prove they aren't fraudulent before the playoffs?

    Anthony and Harrison start by discussing another Dodgers executive being assigned to the Lakers. It doesn't matter right now, but eventually, maybe open up the process a bit? Then, the guys discuss the Lakers' fraudulence to this point in the season and whether anything can be done to change their minds about what the Lakers are capable of in the playoffs. Also, fear not, the Lakers are far from the only or even most fraudulent team in the playoff hunt.

    PART 1: Hey so are the Lakers going to share an organization, or...

    Anthony has noticed a trend in the hires made thus far and has some fairly straightforward follow-ups on the hiring process so far. Concerns aside, this doesn't matter right now because it's mostly business stuff. Here's hoping the approach changes once we get to basketball hires.

    Anthony started doing precaps as part of his work with Offside and he wants to bring them into these games he rides solo for. Sometimes, we'll laugh at a bad prediction. Others (as is the case tonight), we'll laugh at how close he got.
