Lakers Lounge

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.

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.

Anthony is getting increasingly worried about Quentin Grimes, so he offers up a couple potential solutions to what has made Grimes so ineffective this year. From there, he wraps up with a little Q&A with the live audience.

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.

Anthony steps aside and lets Raj get as nerdy as he wants about the early returns on this Lakers group.
