Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Pete discuss the first couple of games and what the Lakers need to do if they're going to have a chance at extending this series. Then, they take an honest look at what separates the next tier of teams from them to figure out what the Lakers need to learn heading into this summer. From there, they dive into a discussion about OKC's manipulation of the rule book and why it's more an NBA problem than a Thunder one. To wrap things up, they answer questions from the live audience.

Anthony and Raj recap another loss in OKC -- a borderline unwatchable game that was dominated not by the Thunder's star power, but by a bunch of refs who couldn't help themselves. The guys discuss the state of refereeing, grifting and why so many teams have the same complaint after playing OKC.

Anthony and Raj start by talking about the game, and how Austin Reaves finally bounced back. Raj held Anthony off for as long as he could but eventually Anthony unleashed the rant about the refs and OKC that you're probably here to listen for.
