As the Lakers were losing (again) to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, it felt like they were far enough away from the defending champs that the deficit couldn't be placed entirely at the feet of Darvin Ham. Somewhere near his feet? Sure. A good chunk of that blame? Ok. But to the point where you'd say the Lakers would win if not for coaching? It was tough sell. That sales job, however, is looking a little easier now that Denver is down two games to none against Minnesota, including a 26-point pasting on Monday night. Even factoring in an injury to Jamal Murray (playing through a calf problem), the Nuggets are certainly looking a lot more vulnerable, and given that the series was tight (Denver won by a total of 22 points over four victories, and two games came down to the buzzer) maybe the question isn't so crazy. So would the Lakers have pushed the series to six games? Seven? Would they have won? The question encompasses not only the work Ham did in the postseason and individual moves within the games, but also how good his team was relative to its ceiling. And the answer matters. The Lakers need to have a good understanding of how far away they are, and in what areas, from the top teams in the conference. The more an upgrade at can address those shortcomings, the less they have to rely on potentially risky roster moves, or leaning harder into stars that are older and more pose a higher injury risk than those on the competition. So it's not just about piling on to Darvin Ham. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis finished fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting, in a near-tie for third (Bam Adebayo) and with a huge advantage over fifth place Herb Jones. Does that soften the blow a little, in terms of charges that Davis doesn't get nearly enough respect on that end of the floor? And finally, Christian Wood is reportedly picking up his $3 million option for next season. It's fair to say this season didn't quite work out as hoped, but is it a good thing he'll be back next year?  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Would the Lakers still be playing if they had a better coach this season? SEGMENT 2: Why the answer matters (beyond just piling on Darvin Ham)SEGMENT 3: Anthony Davis finishes fourth, Christian Wood will return.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

The Lakers might be getting some extra help and Denver might be a little nervous a key player's health. Anthony offers up the latest on Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Jamal Murray. He once again mentions why you shouldn't play extra playoff games if you can avoid them. From there, he dives headfirst into his take on team building, and why the Suns falling on their face hammered home why he doesn't want the Lakers to move heaven and earth for just any third star this summer.

The biggest headline to emerge from the total collapse of Game 2, where the Lakers allowed a 20-point second half lead to disappear, was after, when Anthony Davis said the Lakers have stretches on both sides of the ball where they don't know what they're doing. This was a very pointed criticism, to say the least. Wednesday, Darvin Ham was asked about AD's comments and ... made it worse. ""I just think sometimes the plays don't turn out the way you think they should. The frustration sets in a little bit. But I don't think it's, for us, not being organized. I think I have incredibly talented coaches all along my staff and we pride ourselves on, whether it's a practice or shootaround, games, whatever, we pride ourselves on being highly efficient and organization. So I would just chalk that up to being frustrated, you know it's an emotional game the way it ended and all of that. But I'll agree to disagree on that one."It hit all the high notes of terrible responses. It was dismissive of AD's premise. It showed no accountability, while by extension turning that accountability back to the players. And third, with that last sentence he basically said his star player was wrong. In public. That he didn't know what he was talking about. It's often very easy to overreact to what coaches say, because what they say to us isn't the same as what they say to the players. This isn't one of those times. Meanwhile, the Lakers need to make some adjustments in Game 3. One of them is finding a way to get Rui Hachimura going, because his performance through two games isn't close to good enough. One potential problem? He's just not getting the ball enough. Rui's touches are way down, relative to the regular season. How much of that is scheme? How much is Denver's defense? And finally, reinforcements aren't coming. Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt? Didn't do contact work at practice Wednesday and while that doesn't mean they absolutely can't play... it makes it highly, highly unlikely.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Darvin Ham stepped in it. And it matters.  SEGMENT 2: Why Ham's comments reflect a problem he's had all year.  SEGMENT 3: Rui Hachimura isn't touching the ball enough in this series.

It's time for Lakers vs Nuggets Game 3 with LA badly needing a bounce-back win after a crushing loss in Game 2. How can they get it done? Trevor Lane, Sean Davis, and Matt Peralta discuss tonight's big matchup. Plus, Darvin Ham's response to Anthony Davis' criticism isn't received well, tactical issues are brought up, and we update the status of Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood on this super-sized episode....

Monday was a brutal night all around for the Lakers. They blew a 20-point lead in Denver against the Nuggets in Game 2, and while it doesn't end their chances of winning the series it certainly does some very serious damage to their hopes. Psychologically, too, blowing a 20-point second half lead is not an easy thing to recover from. But that's what the Lakers have to do, and if they're going to be successful they have to figure out how to keep the offense from experiencing the long stretches of stagnation that have plagued them through the first two games. Monday, as Denver started to chip away at the lead, the Lakers became excruciatingly slow. Maybe it was because they were trying to bleed the clock? Maybe they were just looking to slow things down as Denver was building momentum? Maybe LeBron was tired, and needed to conserve energy? How about a lack of confidence in what they were trying to do, after a regular season where the time spent building good habits was lacking. Maybe a little of all of it. But the end result is a team that got stuck in the mud, especially relative to a first half where they were fast up the floor and into their sets/choices. Even when the Lakers did manage to run an organized offense in the final 24 minutes, it often took them too long to get into it, and the results were the same. (Meaning bad.) No wonder Anthony Davis was so upset after the game, when he said rather pointedly that the Lakers go through long stretches where they simply don't know what they're doing, on both sides of the ball. That was, by most, seen as a shot at Darvin Ham and the coaching staff. And likely it was. But was AD talking about his teammates, too? Finally, the Lakers have some reinforcements coming, as early as Thursday. Christian Wood (likely) and Jarred Vanderbilt (possibly) could very well return to the lineup after extended absences. The Lakers badly need their size and rebounding, but can either of them really contribute after so much time on the sidelines?  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: What went wrong in Game 2? Start with the slow pace of play in the 2nd half. What did it reveal about their confidence?  SEGMENT 2: Anthony Davis unloads.  SEGMENT 3: Could reinforcements actually help the Lakers?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

After a gut-punch of a loss in game 2, the Lakers need to regroup and find a way to get a win on their home floor in game 3. Can a returning Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood help them do that?

Many things related to the ability of the Lakers to make a run at the end of the year, and potentially into the playoffs, have to do with knowing who might be available to play. To that end, Monday was a fairly instructive day... kinda, sorta. We did learn, though not from the team, that PF/C Christian Wood's knee is going to keep him out weeks longer, possibly through the end of the season. So that's not good. There was conflicting information about Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt. While some reports said that both would miss the rest of the year, others noted that Vincent expects to play again and is working his way back. For his part, Darvin Ham spoke about both in a manner that implied the team is expecting both to suit up before the end of the season. Clearly, though, Vanderbilt is further behind than Vincent.And what do the Lakers do with Vincent when he's back? On the one hand, with Spencer Dinwiddie not quite panning out as expected, the Lakers could potentially kick the tires on Vincent, despite having only played five games this year. On the other, they really don't have the luxury of experimentation at this point. Regardless, the absence of Wood leaves them with only one other true big on the roster, and that one (Jaxson Hayes) has his limitations. This does tilt the roster smaller and plays away from theoretical strengths, while shining a light on potential shortcomings (like rebounding). Finally, LeBron James is on a new podcast with JJ Redick, and it's made for basketball nerds. Like, really nerdy. But a fun listen, because it's a great window into one of the things that truly separates LeBron from... well, everyone. The man's hoops IQ is off the charts, and when combined with his drive and physical gifts, you get arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers are getting players back... sort of. SEGMENT 2: Figuring out what to do with guys as they return isn't as simple as it sounds. SEGMENT 3: LeBron's brain.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

The Lakers face a critical game tonight against the Clippers, and it comes at a time when the vibes again have turned ominous and the team needs to change the conversation almost as much as it needs wins for practical reasons. The schedule over the next few weeks (and through the end of the year, really) is brutal. Teams are starting to elevate their play, and based on what we've seen so far since the ASB, the Lakers aren't prepared to keep up. But as we've learned throughout the year, sometimes a team is just 48 minutes away from changing the mood considerably. The Lakers will get a crack at a Clippers team playing without Paul George, and that quietly is suffering through a down patch of their own. The Lakers should have Anthony Davis (though he skipped practice Tuesday with an upper respiratory issue, he's probable for tonight) and Cam Reddish, who adds size to the wing against a team where that sort of thing is very, very useful. Can Davis avoid the early foul trouble that's plagued him of late? Can the Lakers keep Ivica Zubac off the glass? These are key questions. As is the one about the lack of production of late from the supporting cast. The Lakers need more. Much more, from some (think Spencer Dinwiddie). Overall, a disappointing group needs to find its stride quickly. This, likely is the team the Lakers will have going forward, aside from the hopeful return of Christian Wood over the next week or two. Finally, Bronny James was dropped from ESPN's Mock Draft for this summer. No surprise, given the context, but still noteworthy and something that prompted a response from his pop. What to make of it? And what does any of this have to do with LeBron's future in LA, which according to reports James might want to extend longer than folks expected?  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a huge game against the Clippers.  SEGMENT 2: Can the supporting cast step up? Can the Lakers clean up the glass? SEGMENT 3: Bronny and Bron, and Bron's future in LA. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDON GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish.

For a while, it looked like the most important Tweet to come from a Laker Tuesday in Atlanta would be Christian Wood's, where he "lol"'d right after the Lakers announced a starting lineup that included Jaxson Hayes instead of him, filling in for Anthony Davis.After the game, Wood said it was just a wayward QT. Nothing to see here.Nobody believed him.But all of that was soon eclipsed by LeBron James, who simply sent out a near-empty hourglass. That clearly put people on notice. Was he talking about Darvin Ham, and losing patience with him? Reminding Rob Pelinka to take action, because the season is now running short and the Lakers (and LeBron himself, broadly) are nearly out of time?All of the above?It's another indication things aren't right in El Segundo, and nobody is comfortable with it. It speaks to the disconnect between the locker room and Ham, and potentially the locker room and Pelinka. And it speaks to how challenging a situation the Lakers are in. There likely isn't a series of moves that can be made to transform this team in the same way the Westbrook deal (and the earlier one for Rui Hachimura) did last year's squad.The most rapid path to change is firing the coach. And while it sucks to do it mid-season, if the gap between player and coach is as large as it currently seems, Ham isn't surviving this offseason, anyway. Better to pull the trigger now and see what happens? What about a trade? Dejounte Murray certainly won the battle between him and D'Lo in ATL.

The Lakers were walloped in Houston Monday, and had to turn around Tuesday to play the Hawks in Atlanta. This time, though, they'd take the floor without Anthony Davis, who had to miss the game after aggravating his hip/groin injury. It didn't go well. The Lakers were dominated by the Hawks, 138-122, a score that doesn't really capture how Atlanta controlled the game after the first seven minutes or so of the game. D'Angelo Russell played his worst game in a while -- bad timing considering he was up against Dejounte Murray, the Hawks guard rumored to be the apple of LA's eye in a trade that would send D'Lo... anywhere, really. Taurean Prince was... oof. Austin Reaves struggled to carry the load offensively while also checking Trae Young. Save Jarred Vanderbilt (on offense at least) and Rui Hachimura, there wasn't much to cling to, here. You even had Christian Wood possibly subtweeting Darvin Ham when he learned he wasn't starting. Wood denied it after the game... but I don't believe people are going to believe him. LeBron James summed things up well after the game. The Lakers are capable of beating any team in the league on any night. They're also capable of getting their asses kicked by any team, on any night. And now, are we back to Darvin Watch? After a brief uptick in performance, the Lakers are again regressing hard. Can they pull themselves out again? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get waxed in Atlanta.

The Lakers are capable of beating any team in the league on any night. They're also capable of getting their asses kicked by any team, on any night.And now, are we back to Darvin Watch? After a brief uptick in performance, the Lakers are again regressing hard. Can they pull themselves out again?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers get waxed in Atlanta.SEGMENT 2: Are we back on Darvin Watch?SEGMENT 3: Did Murray pass his audition?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

The Lakers have been a very, very hard team to understand over the course of the season, and Thursday's 141-132 win over the Bulls at the Crypt, welcome as it is, only adds to the confusion. A team with a reputation for lousy shooting went ballistic from beyond the arc, hitting 20 3's at an almost 62% clip. An offense that has been questionable shot over 60% from the floor. Every player who played more than 10 minutes hit double digits in scoring, save Christian Wood. Anthony Davis recovered from a slow start to finish with 22/11/6, LeBron James had 24/4/12 on an efficient 10-19. But the big stories? D'Angelo Russell kept up his red hot play, hitting eight triples en route to a team-high 29 points. And Jarred Vanderbilt keyed a second quarter rally that put the Lakers ahead big, where they (mostly) stayed. His 17 points included some of his most confident and aggressive play this season. Now the Lakers move on the road for six games, starting Saturday in San Francisco to play the Warriors. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Guest Jacob Rude SEGMENT 1: The Lakers get a key win over Chicago. SEGMENT 2: Heading out on the road. What do they need from this trip?

The Lakers were at a serious crossroads Sunday night at the Crypt, on a four game losing streak and Darvin Ham squarely in the crosshairs for angry Lakers fans and potentially Lakers management as well.They needed to make a statement, and after a scarily slow start (and with a scary finish) they did, winning 106-103 to quiet the noise... for a night at least. The Lakers welcomed D'Angelo Russell back to the lineup, which provided a boost, giving the Lakers another ballhandler, perimeter presence and shot creator. He took a minute to get going, but after a slow start finished with 13 points and six assists. LeBron James posted a few highlight reel plays en route to 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Anthony Davis had 22/10, and Taurean Prince hit three triples.The Lakers bench was strong, with Christian Wood continuing his resurgence, and Max Christie providing strong minutes en route to a team leading +10 plus/minus.But the big thing was the defense, holding the Clippers to under 40% from the floor and playing a very physical style throughout the game.It wasn't fancy, it was rarely pretty, but they got it done. Ham's seat got a little less hot (at least until Tuesday) and hopefully the Lakers can establish a little momentum over the rest of this home-heavy stretch.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers get a critical win over the Clippers.SEGMENT 2: Getting Russell back makes a big difference.SEGMENT 3: Darvin's seat gets (slightly) cooler.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Jase MedicalEmpower yourself when you purchase a Jase Case, providing you with a personal supply of 5 antibiotics that treat 50+ infections.
