I'm sorry if that sounded harsh. I've since been able to listen to a few episodes of your podcast. You need to talk more about the Lakers lol but I really enjoyed listening anyway. |

No worries! I really do appreciate you looking out for LG. Thanks for listening! I would love to talk Lakers as much as possible, but unfortunately not being in the playoffs stifles my ability to talk Lakers all the time. However, of the 17 episodes, we've done an episode on the Showtime Lakers, an entire episode dedicated to the current state of the Lakers, and a Lottery reaction podcast that was wholly focused on the Lakers.
Right now, obviously it's all Finals talk with a preview and reactions to both Games 1 and 2. I'm hoping to set something up with Mike soon to talk draft prospects with a focus on the Lakers draft selections. |

Hey everyone! In the most recent episode, Episode 18 - NBA Finals Game 4 Reaction Podcast, we discuss something that I thought Laker fans would enjoy.
From 19:43 - 34:40, we discuss Lebron's tentativeness as a scorer and how he plays to protect his FG%, which sometimes bogs down the Cavs offense and makes him and the offense more predictable to defend. We contrast that with the way Kobe played in his prime utilizing a full repertoire and we use the Spread% and Range% statistics that were written about for the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, which illustrated how Kobe operated with a diversified shot selection rather than concentrated spots on the floor.
Anyway, check out the podcast to get the complete discussion!

Hi everyone! The Lakers are off to a solid start, which is exciting! If you saw my off-season posts, you would know I was optimistic about this team, but certainly not this prescient.
Last night, it was very exciting to be joined by Associate Editor-in-Chief at Silver Screen & Roll and Co-Host of the Locked on Lakers podcast, Harrison Faigen.
We tried to answer the question, "Are the Lakers good?" We go into the Lakers successful start to the season, whether or not the Lakers can sustain this level of play, early-season surprises and disappointments, the particularly inclusive rotations, and how the Lakers project long-term against other young teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers.
Hope you guys could give this a listen and let me know what you think! Love you, LG!

Hey LG! It's been a while since I've posted one of my podcasts here. I typically don't since The Lounge is exclusively Lakers talk and my podcast covers all of the NBA - plus we got GT doing the best Lakers content in the world.
However, the most recent episode focused on Lonzo Ball and I thought I'd share since my guest is not a Balliever so he brought a fairly different perspective on Lonzo. We ended up having a pretty intense (and fun) discussion on our positions on Lonzo Ball's potential. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

What were you saying about Ball? |

Which part? Against Philly, he showed HS Lonzo, which is the guy I wanted to see all year at UCLA. He found more creative ways to get to the hoop, and while I'd question they aren't typical/classic NBA ways in the halfcourt, I wouldn't argue its' effectiveness.
It's not like he's shooting 73% 2point and 40% behind the arc. If he showed this much added aggression throughout UCLA, I arguably would have had him #1. He only showed spurts like this for 4 minutes at a time, not a 20 point spurt in 10 minutes. Huge difference there. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Lonzo has to maintain this type of aggression in order to become the player he is expected to become. We don't have the talent or personnel for Zo to be too laid back. When he is "locked in" he is a game-changer. |

To me that's the biggest difference. I never felt he was really a 30 point guy at any point at UCLA because there wasn't a sustained effort to score throughout the game. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

He also had so many shooters around him that he didn't need to be. I think Lonzo adjusts his mentality depending on the personnel around him. That is a true PG. I do like him to be aggressive though because he is just so effective at it. |

I disagree. Offense still sputters and it showed against Oregon, Arizona, USC. They needed Ball to be a lot more aggressive attacking the hoop, not a guy necessarily taking step back jumpshots or continuously facilitating to teammates that already had opportunities.
This is why UCLA's best guard lineup had Aaron Holiday and Ball, not Alford and Ball. Holiday relieved that pressure. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
