    After 10 Games, What Do We Know About the Lakers? Thoughts on AD, D'Angelo Russell, Redick, Defense and more.

    The Lakers have played 10 games. At 6-4, the overall record is solid enough. They're keeping up in a brutal Western Conference where 11 teams are .500 or better, and a 12th (San Antonio) is just one game under. (By comparison, the 3rd seed in the East is Indiana, at 5-5.) So what do we know about the team at this point? On the one hand, some of the preseason goals haven't quite panned out the way JJ Redick and Co. have hoped. The rebounding thing? They haven't made a ton of progress, there. Shooting more 3's? Well, they are, but not by much, and the percentages are lower this year than last. It's a top five offense overall, and a bottom five defense. Anthony Davis? Played great last year, playing even better this year. LeBron after a slow couple of games looks like LeBron, and Austin Reaves looks like he's elevating. But Max Christie? Oof. Rui Hachimura? Hit and miss. D'Angelo Russell? Coming off the bench... though not exactly in the same way and for the same reasons as last year. Christian Wood? Jarred Vanderbilt? Still hurt. So there's a lot of the same, but some things that do feel different. So about 1/8th of the way in, have we learned anything that might forecast what's coming? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers are 6-4 after 10 games. Thoughts? SEGMENT 2: What looks the same? What looks different? SEGMENT 3: Where do the Lakers go from here?

    LeBron, Reaves Fuel 123-103 Win over Raptors, but Anthony Davis Leaves Game with Eye Injury

    The Lakers were coming off an encouraging Friday night win over the Philadelphia 76ers, responding with a lot of energy to JJ Redick's first big move as a coach, swapping D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish in the starting lineup. So there was a lot to look forward to Sunday as the slumping Toronto Raptors visited the Crypt. For a half, though, the Lakers looked as if they were playing in mud. No pop, no energy, no attempt to stop the Raptors as they hammered them on the glass. The Lakers stuck close because Toronto isn't very good, but it was hardly inspiring. And for a few minutes in the third, it seemed like the trend would continue. But thankfully, over the course of the quarter the Lakers found their footing, made some shots and cranked up the energy, building out a more significant lead that would rise into double digits throughout much of the fourth. Again, the Lakers got a boost from the reconfigured bench, with Russell leading the way and the group providing a little scoring punch. So the Lakers get the win... but it's not what people are talking about. Instead, it's yet another facial injury for Anthony Davis, who was popped in the eye by Jakob Poeltl while executing a spectacular block. He was down the court for a while, and didn't return. Davis has had a run recently of injuries like this one, and we'll see if this forces him to miss any games (players need to be able to see what they're doing). To his credit, with Davis out, LeBron James went HAM, piling up big numbers including TK assists, en route to a second straight triple double. His determination clearly went up a notch once Davis had to leave the floor, and it never really relented. So a good win, no question. But one that will raise the anxiety of fans until more information is known. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers beat Toronto, after a slow start.

    BONUS: Lakers Change Starting Lineup, Beat Philadelphia 116-103. LeBron Notches Triple Double.

    The Lakers came home from a long, largely unsuccessful road trip, and ahead of Friday's game with a very banged up Philadelphia 76ers squad, JJ Redick made a significant change. He sent D'Angelo Russell to the bench, and stuck Cam Reddish into the starting lineup. Causation/correlation cautions notwithstanding, the early returns were good. First and foremost, the Lakers won the game, 116-103. But the script seemed to reinforce what the Lakers wanted with the switch. They got off to a good start in both the first and third quarters, with a little more size and athleticism helping bolster the defense. Redick called out Reddish's work on Paul George as a major factor in the win. Then Russell had his most efficient offensive performance of the season, aggressive with his shot with the ball in his hands more than it had been with the starters. His 18 points doesn't actually equal the total output from the bench this season, but it sure feels that way. So it seems pretty clear that Redick will stick with this lineup as the Lakers welcome Toronto to the Crypt on Sunday. The lineup change is obviously the big story, but wasn't the only one. LeBron James had a triple double (21/12/13), Anthony Davis had 31 points, nine rebounds and four blocks, Austin Reaves was red hot early, and finished 6-10 from 3-point range. All in all, it was a needed palate cleanser for the purple and gold. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    Anthony Davis (Plantar Fasciitis?) Probable for Lakers Vs. 76ers. Can D'Angelo Russell Bounce Back?

    The Lakers are home from a disappointing road trip, and will have a golden opportunity to get a better taste in their mouths tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have only won a single game this season, and will be playing... without Joel Embiid (suspension). without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) with Paul George, but still playing limited minutes. No disrepect to the other guys on the roster, but the star power is listed above, and it's limited to say the least. The Lakers, on the other hand, will be a lot closer to whole. Anthony Davis, who missed Wednesday's game in Memphis, is listed as probable for tonight. Rui Hachimura, who was sick on Wednesday and didn't play, is expected to suit up. So the Lakers will have as full a group as they can have. They need to win this game. Davis, for what it's worth, reportedly has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, according to Shams Charania. That explains the heel pain, to say the least. And it's unfortunately something likely to nag him throughout the season. Sigh. One guy who needs a major bounceback game? D'Angelo Russell, who sat the last 17 minutes of Wednesday's loss because in the words of JJ Redick, he didn't have the level of investment in the game he needed, and wasn't paying close enough attention to things the staff has been harping on with him. So he sat. Redick said they've been talking about this stuff for a couple of weeks, which is interesting because it shows these issues aren't isolated to a single game. And its' teh first time he's lit into a player in pretty pointed ways, period. And to this point, Redick has been been nothing but complimentary towards Russell all year. We'll see what happens. The Lakers need more from Russell, and this is, perhaps, one way to help get him there. Finally, the G-League Lakers opened up camp this week, and Bronny James will be joining them for home games, at least for the time being. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Philly is in town, and Anthony Davis is (probably) going to be in uniform. SEGMENT 2: D'Angelo Russell was called out by Redick. How does he respond?

    Shorthanded Lakers (No Davis, Hachimura) Lose 131-114 to Grizzlies. Redick Frustrated. D'Lo Benched.

    The Lakers arrived in Memphis struggling to find some kind of rhythm, having lost three of the first four games on this five game road trip. Then they lost Rui Hachimura (illness) and Anthony Davis (foot), for one night, at least. Then they lost again, this time to the Grizzlies. That the result wasn't surprising (that last game of a roadie is brutal, even under the best of circumstances, and these weren't that) doesn't make it any less frustrating. The Lakers, who left LA with so much excitement following a 3-0 start, return home with a .500 start and the team's best player in street clothes. Davis did warm up, so it seems possible he could be there Friday for a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia team, but it's nonetheless a worriesome moment for the Lakers. There were a couple things to like about Wednesday's loss: LeBron James played very well, carrying the Lakers as far as they could realistically go, finishing with 39/7/6. It's good to see him potentially rounding into form. Christian Koloko made his Lakers debut, which is nice on a human level (Koloko coming back from blood clots after well over a year off an NBA court). Cam Reddish was again active, moving enough on the floor to make himself available for a couple easy finishes from James, and generally raising the team's intensity level. But it wasn't enough. Or really even close to it. And as a result, the Lakers limp back to Los Angeles facing far more questions than they have answers. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers, shorthanded, lose in Memphis. SEGMENT 2: The road trip finishes 1-4. What now? SEGMENT 3: Koloko! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    Anthony Davis Has a Lingering Foot Injury. How Big a Problem Is This for the Lakers?

    The Lakers, after a very encouraging start, have hit a very discouraging stretch. They've lost three of the first four games of the first big road trip of the year, including a decisive loss to Detroit. Now, LA need to find a way to beat Memphis on Wednesday, or they'll come back to town with a sub-.500 record on the year. Not great! And on Monday, after the loss, it was reported that Anthony Davis, who was clearly hobbled against the Pistons, has been dealing with a foot injury not just since the start of this year, but going back to last year, as well. Now, how sore was he in the Olympics? Was it just something that needed to be monitored, like most bumps and bruises players who have been in the league as long as he has have to deal with? Certainly his performance in the tournament and through the first seven games of the season was outstanding. But as the injuries seem to be piling up -- he's listed as questionable tonight in Memphis with what is being called a heel contusion -- one thing is clear: The Lakers are leaning too much on Davis early. The supporting cast isn't pulling its weight, and when AD doesn't play, performance suffers mightily for the squad. That isn't sustainable through the season. Some of that is LeBron, who has started slow this year (by his lofty standards). Some if inconsistency from Austin Reaves and poor shooting from D'Angelo Russell. And a ton of it is a complete lack of production from the bench. The reserves, even when they're providing a little defense (Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish on Monday) are such a black hole offensively that the Lakers are increasingly finding it hard to compensate. So what can they do? Are there strings available for JJ Redick to pull? Especially if Davis is out tonight? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Anthony Davis is playing like an MVP, but he's banged up already. And apparently has been for a while? SEGMENT 2: What can the Lakers do to fill the void when Davis doesn't play? SEGMENT 3: How can they squeeze more production from the bench? Are there moves there for JJ Redick to make?

    Lakers' Vulnerabilities Exposed In 115-103 Loss to Pistons. Anthony Davis Hurting. Christie Benched for Reddish?

    When they visited the Cavaliers in Cleveland last week, the Lakers were thoroughly outclassed. The Cavs were faster to the ball, played with more "want," and generally speaking made the Lakers look bad. But, to be fair, the Cavs are undefeated this season. They've made a lot of teams look bad. Detroit? Not so much. But Monday, the Pistons used the same formula to drop the Lakers to 4-3, beating LA 115-103 in Detroit. The home team was quicker to every ball, much more explosive in the open court, and punished the Lakers on the glass and in transition. The difference in that explosiveness was particularly obvious when looking at backcourt players. Meanwhile, the Lakers bench was again wildly unproductive and uncharacteristically unenergetic (is that a word?) to the point that JJ Redick essentially pulled the plug on Max Christie (five minutes) and later, Dalton Knecht as well (only nine) in favor of Cam Reddish, who didn't score any points but. provided energy and at least some defensive resistance. What happens next is anyone's guess, but the way Christie has played, he likely hasn't built up a ton of leeway. But even if Reddish plays, and provides a boost to the defense, he's not going to address the bench's total lack of punch. The Lakers are relying on Knecht, maybe Christie, and hope that eventually someone like Christian Wood can bring a little offense. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis is clearly beat up. He's carrying the team, putting up MVP numbers, but the Lakers aren't taking full advantage. Much to think about as the NBA goes dark for election day. Go vote! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers lose in Detroit. SEGMENT 2: This loss exposed weaknesses in the team that could be hard to address.

    NBA Re-Opens Investigation of Jaxson Hayes' Domestic Violence Incident. What Happens Now for Lakers?

    When the Lakers signed Jaxson Hayes in 2023, it was in the wake of domestic violence charges that had been adjudicated by both the NBA and the legal system. The former took no action, and the latter handed down a punishment including probation that is still in effect. But there were no secrets or surprises, at least in theory, from the perspective of the Lakers. Whether the Lakers should sign any player with Hayes's history is a valid question—one this show discussed at length when he was brought in—but they made their choice, and in the words of Rob Pelinka did so after doing due diligence and talking to Hayes about it. Well on Sunday, the incident, which had seemed to fade from discussions about Hayes, was again making headlines as video it was published (including Ring cam footage from both inside and outside Hayes's house). In response, the NBA re-opened its investigation of Hayes. Why? It's hard to say. Very possibly, the league is checking to see if perhaps Hayes wasn't truthful in his dealings with them. If that's the case, the NBA will almost certainly hand down some sort of punishment. Or perhaps it's a matter of CYA, now that people can see the disturbing footage. In the short term, this likely won't impact the Lakers, who will almost surely allow Hayes to keep playing through the investigation, and (not that he was a super in-demand target anyway) keep him away from the media. But the news resurfaces the questions that rightly follow a team when they choose to add a domestic abuser to the payroll. Meanwhile, the Lakers are trying to figure out how to break Max Christie and Gabe Vincent out of their respective slumps. Could some of it involve changing when each is playing?
