The Lakers for some reason scheduled a back-to-back in the preseason. This meant half their roster was available. The Mavericks used this as a dress rehearsal and things still managed to look pretty good... until the second half. Anthony breaks down the game, then discusses the issues with how the Lakers have approached the end of their roster the last few years.

Великий баскетбол повернеться за тиждень, а ми, тим часом, готуємо вас до його камбеку — і говоримо про найголовніші очікування від сезону НБА.  Після Сходу їдемо на Захід — як завжди, дуже глибокий та дуже конкурентний, з чинним чемпіоном НБА на чолі.  Олександр Прошута та Віталій Волочай — з передмовою до Західної конференції НБА. За основу беремо класичний формат «овер-андер» з кількістю перемог в сезоні і коротко спілкуємося про всі 15 команд конференції.  Чи настільки гарно підсилився Денвер, як травма Ван Вліта вплине на Рокетс, чи зможуть Даллас, Мемфіс та Портленд утворити міцний середній клас, чого чекати від Спьорс та Віктора й найголовніше — невже Оклахома знову буде першою?  Усе це та багато іншого — в нашому подкасті!Тайм-коди подкасту:[00:00:00] - Говоримо про Західну Конференцію;[00:05:27] - Dallas Mavericks;[00:19:10] - Denver Nuggets[00:28:40] - Golden State Warriors[00:37:40] - Houston Rockets[00:46:50] - LA Clippers[00:52:40] - Los Angeles Lakers[01:02:45] - Memphis Grizzlies[01:10:35] - Minnesota Timberwolves[01:18:20] - New Orleans Pelicans[01:27:20] - Portland Trail Blazers[01:33:50] - Phoenix Suns[01:41:30] - Sacramento Kings[01:44:45] - San Antonio Spurs[01:51:31] - Utah Jazz[01:57:30] - Oklahoma City Thunder

Bill opened the show by comparing Aaron Rodgers to LeBron James by saying that both aging stars are no longer worth the headaches they bring unless they are humbled. Bill then reacted to Lions head coach Dan Campbell saying that the NFL's league office intervened with the officiating crew on Sunday night and discussed if that's a big deal or not. Would You Rather was next as Bill chose between having Tua Tagovailoa or Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback, Missouri winning a national championship or the Bears winning a Super Bowl and celebrating Halloween or Thanksgiving. Hour two kicked off with former NFL head coach Herm Edwards joining the show to discuss if the Colts are legit, if referees officiate teams based on their record and the biggest key to success for coordinators becoming head coaches. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if Florida should fire Billy Napier this weekend regardless of result, if Tua has lost the locker room and if adults are allowed to sample ice cream flavors at the store. The show ended with Bill criticizing Tua for not taking accountability.

The Lakers head to Sin City for their next stop on their exhibition tour, as the second game of a back-to-back, as they face off against the Mavs. And just like the previous night in Phoenix, a split-squad Lakers matched the intensity of the Mavs starters to gain a double-digit lead in the first half. But it all went downhill in the second half, including a fourth quarter getting outscored 37-8 as the Mavs feasted on the Lakers' reserves 121-94 in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. Tune in as the guys from the LFB share thoughts on what the game was like without Luka or Reaves or Ayton, or even Bronny, as the schedule maker ensured the Lakers would be going into the game nowhere near being at full strength. Plus, we do comment on today's NBA news, including a big-money deal for Keeghan Murray and a return to the NBA for Russell Westbrook. The Lakers roll the dice in Vegas as they continue the preseason, and we're here covering it all on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!Follow @DripShowshop for some awesome sports merchandise!Check out Dodgers baseball on Playback at https://www.playback.tv/thejoesorooxperimentJoe's new game Coreupt is OUT NOW!

Thursday night was tough for the city of Brotherly love. The Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers fell to their foes. Giants rookies Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart – aka the frat bros running the Giants – showed Jalen Hurts and friends who's boss.

Ric dives into an in-depth analysis of why the Golden State Warriors may struggle to match last season's success despite Steph Curry's brilliance and Jimmy Butler's leadership. He argues that the NBA's evolution toward “tall ball”—skilled, athletic bigs replacing traditional small-ball lineups—has neutralized the Warriors' once-revolutionary style. Buecher also explores how aging stars like Draymond Green face diminishing impact, why team success naturally cycles due to the salary cap, and how fans' expectations of perpetual contention are unrealistic. He concludes with sharp commentary on LeBron James' rumored discontent with the Lakers, calling it a hollow narrative since no contender can or would trade for his $52 million contract, asserting that LeBron's leverage and championship window have effectively closed.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Gil's Arena RETURNS To Recap A WILD NBA Offseason as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew re-enter Gil's Arena to break down what went on in and around the association during our summer break. They start the show off by discussing Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks as rumors continue to swirl that the Greek Freak wants out of Cream City and react to Giannis continuously putting pressure on the Bucks to improve the team & keep him happy by doing things like adding both his brothers to the end of the bench. The GA Crew & Mr. B give their expectations for the Bucks this season and debate what it would take for Giannis to force his way out of Milwaukee and on to a team like the New York Knicks. Next, they bring back everyone's favorite topic as they highlight the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers and give their expectations for Luka Doncic's first full season playing in purple & gold. They break down what a full season of Luka & LeBron James will look like and debate if the Lakers are doing LeBron dirty by clearly handing the keys over to Luka as the King recovers from injury in potentially the final NBA season of his career. They then highlight another new face in a new place as they break down Kevin Durant's arrival to the Houston Rockets and debate if KD makes the Rockets a true contender as the future NBA Hall of Famer looks to finally guide his team on a deep playoff run for the first time since his days with the Golden State Warriors. Finally, they react to a seemingly productive offseason for Victor Wembanyama as the San Antonio Spurs young superstar was seen training all over the globe and give their expectations for the French phenom's 3rd season, debating if he will finally take the leap into the upper tier of NBA Superstars.

The Lakers get back to the court in preseason as they head to Phoenix for a date with the Suns. And with Luka scoring 22 on efficient scoring in the first half of his preseason debut (and Austin Reaves chipping in with 18 of his 25 overall), the Lakers looked strong after the first 24 minutes. But the players sent out to do most of the work in the second half couldn't keep the pace as the Suns' backups proved stronger as they passed the Lakers to a 113-104 victory. The guys from the LFB have observations on what happened during the game and how Luka (25 on the night as a whole) and Marcus Smart (0 in 20 minutes) looked in their first game action of the preseason. All this and we celebrate the Dodgers going up 2-0 in the NLCS as well. Luka returns to the lineup as the Lakers play the Suns in preseason action right here on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!Follow @DripShowshop for some awesome sports merchandise!Check out Dodgers baseball on Playback at https://www.playback.tv/thejoesorooxperimentJoe's new game Coreupt is OUT NOW!

I can tell you it was like sitting with a long, lost neighbor when sitting with Kelly E. Carter.  And in fact, we were neighbors of sorts back in the day. It wasn't until I was searching for images to create the icons for this podcast did I realize I was in the presence of true maverick royalty.  Besides being a New York Times best selling author, she has reported from the greatest sporting events of the world: the NBA FInals, Super Bowls, Grand Slams, Stanley Cup Finals and much more. And more intriguing, she was the woman reporter in the locker room! I was so intrigued and we could have spoken for hours because she is the Founder of the wine tourism group, Napa Valley Noir. sitting down with Kelly E. Carter in the studio for this episode of Wine Talks was like taking a stroll down memory lane while simultaneously hitching a ride on a train heading straight for the future of wine tourism. There's something about Kelly—her energy, her wit, and just her knack for storytelling—that gets you thinking about the wine industry in ways that feel both nostalgic and freshly invigorating. We kicked things off with some good old home turf banter—Kelly's Windsor Hills childhood (Ray Charles and Ike & Tina Turner for neighbors, no less) and my own roots in Inglewood. Instantly, there was this shared sense that, before wine stole our hearts, Southern California had given us some pretty unique perspectives on culture and community. And as Kelly pointed out, “you'll never know everything” about winemaking, which is honestly the very reason some of us keep swirling, sipping, and studying. I know I do. What genuinely impressed me was Kelly's trajectory. She was the first female to cover the Lakers—how many people do you meet who set out in fourth grade to be a sports journalist and actually make it happen? She wasn't just content to report on sports. She made her mark, switched lanes into entertainment, and then into luxury travel writing, which eventually led her to Florence and Positano. It's the kind of layered journey you don't hear about every day. You talk to some folks, they've been in wine their whole lives. With Kelly, it's travel, sports, culture—all converging in the glass. We got into the nitty-gritty of wine and travel writing and how AI could never replace the boots-on-the-ground experience. I had to laugh—when Kelly plugged Napa into chatbots, she got recommendations for wineries that are closed for renovations. "You have to know the latest," she said, reminding me that the best wine stories are always written with real shoe leather, not just code. Her insights into Napa Valley tourism were equally compelling. As the founder of Napa Valley Noir, Kelly's passion lies in creating experiences rich in narrative, not just pouring cabs for folks who made it big in tech and want a taste of the valley lifestyle. She's all about partnerships with wineries that have soul, stories, and a genuine connection to their craft—whether it's a historic vineyard run by women or an impromptu meeting with Thomas Keller that leaves guests starstruck. Frankly, I couldn't agree more. The stories make the bottle—and the memories. That's what keeps this business alive, even as the market shifts. Kelly also talked about the recent surge in African American visitors to Napa, thanks in part to celebrity influence (LeBron, Kobe, you name it), and her drive to ensure these visitors experience the full magic Napa has to offer, not just what's on the surface. She's honest—her intake forms ask straight-up about comfort level on bottle prices. She knows how to match guests with the right wineries, sometimes calling in a favor for an extra pour or a charcuterie board, because that's how relationships form and deepen in this business. There's a lesson in Kelly's methods: whether it's a group of corporate execs, first-timers, or veteran collectors, she makes sure the experience is tailored and memorable. Maybe it's the aftermath of her own battles—her candor about beating a rare cancer got me thinking about perspective, gratitude, and the importance of living fully, whether it's raising a glass or hiking through a vineyard. Talking with Kelly reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place. It's the human stories behind the wines, the journeys of the people who bring them to life—and the shared desire to know just a little bit more, one sip, one story at a time.
