On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing some scuttlebutt he's heard about Jimmy Garoppolo's availability for the Divisional Playoff round against the Green Bay Packers. Folks in the Bay Area say that Jimmy G is dealing with a shoulder sprain that could keep him on the sideline, and now the wiseguys in Las Vegas are starting to bet big on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. In the NBA, multiple reports coming out of Los Angeles indicate that Frank Vogel is coaching for his job on a night-to-night basis. Wait, what?! Did Lakers brass forget that Anthony Davis is hurt? Or that LeBron James missed a quarter of the season? Or that they've been ravaged by COVID? Or that they still have Russell Westbrook on their team? Moving on from Vogel makes zero sense given the circumstances. Later, USA Today Sports NFL columnist Mike Jones swings by to discuss why he doesn't hold Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury in very high regard - but doesn't necessarily think he should be fired, why it's hard to truly judge a head coach without giving him a decent roster and enough time to change the culture, whether or not candidates like Eric Bieniemy should try to hold out for plum head coaching jobs rather than jump at the first offer he receives, why he was so disappointed in the way the Houston Texans handled David Culley, why he's not ready to give up on Tua Tagovailia as a franchise quarterback just yet, and much more!

Sliwa started off the show with the Lakers' huge win vs the Utah Jazz and what it means for the team. Then, Sli talked about the Athletic report that had Frank Vogel on the "hot seat." Also, Anthony Davis should be back soon, but Sliwa wonders if he's the "Savior" of the season.  Then, ESPN's Brian Windhorst joined Allen to give his impressions of the Lakers more than halfway through the season and why the Lakers need "AD to be AD" to win a title. Also, Sli looked ahead at the Lakers "Grammys trip."

Picking the best win of the season for the Lakers is a much simpler exercise than choosing the worst loss, only because there are so few options. So definitionally, Monday's 101-95 win over the Utah Jazz, who sport the league's offense (by a mile) and an upper crust point differential, is a candidate. But while the team and coaches were quick to point out there are no "turning point" games at this point, it doesn't mean the win wasn't significant. Particularly coming off arguably their worst effort - not necessarily worst loss, but effort - against Denver on Saturday night, one that drew Twitter scolds from none other than Magic Johnson. Monday showed what they're capable of delivering from an effort standpoint. Can they sustain it? Even when circumstances push them more than what they saw on MLK Day, when Utah never really was able to go on a big run? (In part because of good, energetic defense, in part because of bad shooting.) Can they continue to recalibrate just how hard they'll have to play to get wins in ordinary January games? What might help? A little joy, something Russell Westbrook delivered not just with his thunderous dunk over Rudy Gobert in the second quarter, but with a lighthearted moment where he picked up a mop and helped clean a courtside spill. It was funny. It made people laugh. It was a good time, and a reminder the Lakers do need to find some joy in what they do, despite the results and the pressure. Because teams having fun also play better. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis is making some progress, and could be back soon. Big deal for the Lakers, not just because they need to win games (which he obviously will help do) but because they need an idea of what they are before the deadline. Finally, Stanley Johnson was awesome in the fourth quarter against the Jazz. Don't expect him to become an offensive force, but his postgame commentary revealed a lot about the journey he finds himself on, and what that journey says about the challenge of sticking in the NBA. There's plenty of glory attached to it, but it's a hard gig to keep. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: On a big win over Utah Monday night. Man, they needed this one. SEGMENT 2: On joy, and the having of joy while playing basketball. Plus, RUSS DUNKS ON GOBERT! SEGMENT 3: AD is getting closer, and Stanley Johnson seems to have found a home, for the rest of the season at least. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

If Wednesday's loss to Sacramento was the worst of the season for the Lakers, and it certainly might have been, then Saturday's 133-96 blowout at the hands of the Denver Nuggets might have been the most disheartening. After a decent enough first quarter, the Lakers were throttled on both sides of the ball for the rest of the game, bleeding points defensively while being totally unable to score on the other end. Who played well? Nobody, really, and as a team they were so bad on defense it wouldn't have mattered. More importantly, perhaps, the body language looked awful. The Lakers on Saturday looked like a team that not only knew they were getting their butts kicked, but also didn't really think there was much they could do about it. They seemed to lose some confidence in themselves, and heading into a difficult stretch of schedule, that's a problem. After, Frank Vogel said some of that body language comes with getting their asses kicked. That does slow players down, and it is discouraging. But it was the ass-kicking that caused the bad body language. And as Russell Westbrook noted, they still don't play hard enough, consistently enough. Why? There could be a few reasons, all explored on the show. Whatever it is, the Laker sneed to figure it out in a hurry, or risk losing serious ground in the conference, because the return of Anthony Davis (potentially by the end of the month, according to reports) isn't going to be a magic wand that cures all. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Man, did the Lakers get hammered on Saturday night. On a litany of offensive and defensive breakdowns. SEGMENT 2: Westbrook says they're not playing hard enough, and he's right. But why is this still a problem? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Good lord, that was awful. Like, arguably the worst loss of the season for the Lakers, who have lost twice to the Thunder! By 28 to the Spurs! In three overtimes to these Kings! And so on, and so on, and so on. But given where they are in the standings and in the season, with a difficult schedule ahead, these are games the Lakers simply must win. And they were, for a while. So what went wrong? Defense, for starters. As in a total lack of it. There was no area in particular where the Kings were particularly dominant, save field goal percentage. They were over 55% on the night, which is absurd. The Lakers were slow in transition, made critical errors, and generally wet the bed on that side of the floor. One reason? LeBron looked tired. Really, really tired. And as much as he and Frank Vogel tried to talk around it after the game, it would almost be weird if he wasn't, given how much work he's done to carry the team since Anthony Davis went down. So what can the Lakers do about it, as a .500 team with zero continuity and no guarantee of finishing high enough to avoid the play in? It's a pickle, to be sure. And then there's Westbrook, mired in a horrific slump, particularly over the last three games. He was atrocious against Sacramento. But there was at least one silver lining... HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What went wrong vs. Sacramento (poiler alert: many things...) and why this might have been the worst loss of the year. SEGMENT 2: LeBron looks tired, and that's a huge potential problem going forward. SEGMENT 3: Russ. Oh, Russ. He was awful on the court Wednesday, but at least wasn't awful off it.

41 games down, 41 to go. No, that's not meant as a threat. So with the Lakers at the halfway point, where do things stand? LeBron James spoke Sunday about having a better understanding of what this team is, and how they're going to play going forward, and the identity question is certainly an important one, even if that identity is imperfect. What he can't quantify, though, is just what things will look like once Anthony Davis returns. Not that they won't get better- that's a given- but how much better? And what will Davis look like in this new lineup leaning harder into "small" (i.e. Anthony Davis is a center, LeBron is the backup center, and we're only deploying the classic bigs in specific scenarios) than any season Davis has had here? In theory, it shouldn't be that different. Davis finished virtually every game in the title season at center, and has played more of it this year than the previous two. And in theory, what they're doing should put him in position to dominate. So will he bring enough to help the team elevate as much as it'll have to to advance in the playoffs? From there, it's awards time! Let's give the team a grade. Lord knows it won't be high, but would the Lakers be ok if the first half was the equivalent of a pass/fail college course? Just how much damage are they doing to their proverbial GPA? Plus, who are the most surprising and disappointing Lakers through 41 games? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron talks about Anthony Davis, and what it'll mean for him to re-enter the lineup. SEGMENT 2: Grading the Lakers, and naming the most surprising player of the first half. SEGMENT 3: Who's the most disappointing Laker of the first 41 games? The answer isn't cut-and-dried.

It's been a while since Lakers fans could feel genuinely good about the team, but it's possible at least things are starting to turn. That was the feeling at least following Friday's 134-118 win over the Atlanta Hawks at the Crypt. It was their fourth straight victory, and one where you could see signs of what things could look like going forward, including... Continued dominance from LeBron James... Malik Monk continuing to burn things up as a scorer, in ways that can unlock lots of possibilities for L.A... Russell Westbrook taking better care of the ball (perhaps because always needed as a go-to scorer?)... Some (knock on wood) actual continuity, and as full a roster as the Lakers have had all year... Remember, Anthony Davis will return at some point. Is it truly safe to put out those positive vibes? To allow yourself as a fan to be vulnerable in what's been a Lucy-pulls-the-football type of year? Maybe, maybe not. But for one night at least, Lakers fans are going to sleep feeling optimistic. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The first release of All-Star voting is always a fun day in the NBA, especially for two guys who are not at all precious about who gets in or who might not (like say the hosts of this show). So seeing Carmelo Anthony cracking the top 10 among Western Conference forwards despite not playing at an All Star level? Whatever! If that's what the fans want, all good. Frankly, it's disappointing to see that Lakers fans couldn't give Austin Reaves the Alex Caruso treatment, and push him into the Top 10 among W.C. guards. Bigger Issue: Russell Westbrook (due to play) and Anthony Davis (due to availability) may not be on the team. And for a squad built around All Stars, that helps explain why the Lakers have been mired around .500 all year. From there, Frank Vogel and Dwight Howard talked about sacrifice as more guys come back to the roster. There will be guys currently playing significant roles who will have to sit as Kendrick Nunn, Stanley Johnson, and (eventually) Davis are all brought back into the rotation. It'll make things go much more smoothly if the team can win games while this happens. Finally, LeBron James responded to questions about Kevin Porter Jr., and Wednesday's moment at the end of the Houston/Wizards game, where Washington's analyst committed a horrible error calling Porter Jr.'s game winning shot. It was a fascinating moment, where LeBron laid out why that mistake mattered so much. Much of it was centered around media accountability and professionalism. Hard to argue with any of it. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: On All-Star voting. What it says about the Lakers this season, 'Melo and more! SEGMENT 2: Frank Vogel has some big issues to figure out with the rotation. Plus, LeBron on media accountability. SEGMENT 3: More from James on why it matters that Kevin Porter Jr. was wronged. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The phenomenon that is Russell Westbrook has unquestionably dominated conversations around the Lakers all year, for good reason. He is fascinating as a player and a concept, and as a massive basketball experiment the Lakers have undertaken in a high-pressure season. And this week we learned that the Lakers have quietly broached the idea of trading Westbrook, only a few months into his tenure. It's highly unlikely it'll happen, but that doesn't make the reports any less telling. From there, Following a turnover-free Tuesday for Westbrook as the Lakers beat the Kings (Russ's first since 2016 in a regular season tilt) he was asked questions about how the team has adjusted to him. How guys have learned to play with him, and what that means. It's a contrast to the normal line of inquiry, tilted much more towards "How are you adjusting to LeBron and A.D.? Both are important, but also raise some pretty important questions that are at the heart of The Westbrook Experiment; How much do you really want your team to adjust to Westbrook? In some ways, the sheer force of his presence and play makes learning to play with him similar to the experience of adjusting to Kobe Bryant, or even LeBron James. But those guys were unquestionably the best players on their teams. Westbrook isn't. So what's the right balance here? Is Westbrook bending where he needs to? Finally, Frank Vogel says that Kendrick Nunn will play "tons" once he's available, which should be coming reasonably soon. But if he keeps the rotation at 9-10 guys on any given night, and the Lakers sign (and play) Stanley Johnson as expected, and Anthony Davis eventually comes back, there just aren't enough chairs for everyone when the music stops. So who's gonna sit? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have quietly explored trading Westbrook, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic. Not surprisingly, interest is apparently low. SEGMENT 2: What does it mean to learn to play with Russ? How much adjusting should the Lakers be doing around him? SEGMENT 3: If Nunn plays a lot of minutes, someone(s) is gonna have to sit. But who? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
