Finally, Harrison and Anthony wrapped up the show with a headwear-related attempt to try and break the curse that’s been following the Lakers all year. Because if they lose against the Trail Blazers in Portland on Friday, that’s where they’re headed. Then, with the Lakers as close to a play-in game as they’ve been all season, Harrison and Anthony discussed which possible play-in opponent they’d see as the biggest threat to the purple and gold if they do end up in the potential elimination games. While the Lakers may not have been at full strength for this one, there still may be some things to think about following this matchup, maybe most of all that it might be seriously time to worry if this team has enough time to get healthy. The shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers fell against the LA Clippers on Thursday night as they continue to barely hold on to their spot in the standings, and on the latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll postgame show, hosts Anthony Irwin and Harrison Faigen broke down the blowout loss, and what their biggest takeaways are from such a resounding defeat. Then, after discussing all that, Harrison and Anthony wrapped the show by briefly discussing LeBron's return, and listing the names they most want to see interviewed for the upcoming Hulu docuseries about the Lakers. On today’s episode of “Lakers, Explained” - a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll - co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin dove into the format, and why it could be a double-edged sword for Los Angeles. ![]() The team itself has continuously maintained that they don’t want to end up in the potential double-elimination scenario, but it also could result in an easier side of the playoff bracket, if the Lakers take care of business. When framed in conjunction with the Lakers destroying the Phoenix Suns - their potential first-round playoff opponent - without him on Sunday, things appear to be looking up for the purple and gold, even if it looks increasingly likely that they’re headed for the play-in tournament. LeBron James is set to return soon, possibly as soon as Tuesday, according to the latest reports. Listen to all that and more on this latest episode, and have a great weekend. Once they turned their attention back to the game, they had some fun with how much Andre Drummond seems to love being a Laker, and how he feels like our look into what it would be like if a fan had access to the insane acts of athleticism LeBron James and Anthony Davis are capable of on that kind of regular basis. Given Crowder’s (and Chris Paul’s if we’re being honest) proclivity for dirty play, this is probably a good thing, even though it might cost the Lakers a couple fouls early. While neither Harrison or Anthony think they will or should be suspended, they do both believe this is going to have an impact on the next game as the referees assigned will likely go out of their way to control any such stupidity right from the tip. From there, they jumped into the chippiness exhibited by both Devin Booker and Jae Crowder late in the Lakers' Game 3 win that led to both their ejections. On this week’s episode of “The Lakers Lounge,” Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin first laughed at the fact that they named a show most people are listening to in the morning after a bar. The pair also touch on the likes of Wayne Ellington, Kent Bazemore and Rajon Rondo, all who made returns to the Lakers this summer. The two also give their first impressions of the two centers on the Lakers roster and how they fared in their first performances of the season. ![]() After a frustrating 2020-21 season, Davis looks refocused and re-energized, albeit through just one quarter of one game. With so much talent in the backcourt, does it make more sense for the Lakers to play small more this season? They also discuss the frontcourt, including Davis' one quarter of action on the night. ![]() They discuss the big performance from Malik Monk, the host of young backcourt players the Lakers have including Kendrick Nunn and Talen Horton-Tucker and whether Sunday's performance could factor into the Lakers starting Anthony Davis at center. Today's edition of "Can U Dig It?" features Jacob and Christian sharing their thoughts on what was ultimately a blowout win for the Nets, 123-97. While the players who did not play - LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant - were far more notable than the ones that did, the excitement was still all the same in the purple and gold's return to action after exactly four months off over the summer. The Lakers finally made their long-awaited return to the basketball court on Sunday afternoon in their preseason opener against the Brooklyn Nets.
