Anthony Irwin takes a daily look at the Los Angeles Lakers in his own unique way, with the help of any number of guests from throughout NBA coverage, and beyond.

    Who are these Lakers?

    Who are these Lakers?

    Anthony and Aaron discuss everything surrounding Gabe Vincent's potential return -- including the reporting Anthony has done on this subject to this point. From there, the guys talk about the basketball impact he'd make to a rotation that has found itself lately. Anthony is nervous that Darvin Ham can't avoid his worst inclinations. To wrap up, Anthony asks a borderline existential question: Are the Lakers who they've shown themselves to be lately, since Rui Hachimura was inserted into the starting lineup? Or are the Lakers the mostly mediocre team they'd been before that point?

    Anthony MF Davis, Austin MF Reaves, The Los Angeles MF Lakers

    Spencer Dinwiddie plays his best game as a Laker in win over Pacers

    Spencer Dinwiddie plays his best game as a Laker in win over Pacers

    The Lakers made it way too interesting but at this point, you just kind of have to take wins. Spencer Dinwiddie stepped up with D'Angelo Russell out. Anthony Davis continues to own the Pacers. Austin Reaves closed out the game with big shots and free throws. Still, the defense wasn't great and Darvin Ham did some Darvin Ham stuff.

Random thought

Who is the most surprising listener you’ve ever heard was either an active listener or have maybe tuned in a few times that caught you by surprise , and follow up to this….

if it wasn’t someone in the league obviously you’ve had Lonnie on the show but have you ever heard of any player old or active that was a Laker that has listened to the POD

Mail bag

What’s up Lakers Lounge (Lowdown) My question this time is do you think the NBA would ever realign conferences drastically in terms of adopting a league style of play such as the NFL (AFC/NFC) and MLB (AL/NL). I don’t think they ever will but I think this could help balance out the conferences a bit (The west is always filled with dogfights and, what I feel is good teams missing the playoffs while in the east you can usually see a drastic drop off in team abilities once you get into the 6 and below seeds in the east. Love all your work and good luck with your new reporting ventures.

Ham’s Crimes Against Basketball

Hi Anthony. You didn’t take the time to read my entire question and misinterpreted it. So here’s a simpler version:

Why are you so subdued in your criticism of Darvin Ham?

He is by far the worst coach in Lakers’ history. No one has sabotaged a team as much as him.

Also, Cam Reddish is better than Prince, so I welcome any minutes with him on the court if it means there is no Prince. Reddish has the second best On/Off Rating of the Lakers (-1.4) and way better than Prince (-8.5).
