Lakers Lounge

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.

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.

We got a look at what the Lakers' ceiling lowers to if Walker Kessler doesn't have it and, well, it wasn't pretty. Anthony discusses that, then answers a few questions from the live audience.

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?

Anthony and Pete really enjoyed that opening night game and think there's a ton to build on. They discuss what they saw from the team in an actual game and try to outline what they think will be strengths this season.
