The Lakers are 2-6 since “winning it all,” and like a full grown adult who peaked in high school, the current results offer a bad look.Ethan is back on a solo ride to discuss fine Lakers most obvious problems, why a magic bullet fix is not in the mix, and how Darvin Ham’s seat might be warmer than an air fryer in a love-filled Jewish household on Christmas Day.Plus, Ethan breaks down the depth that is looking rather shallow, how the Lakers results impact LeBron’s future, and what the club has to look like going forward in order to be anything more than a .500 team.SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

Well as my old high school football coach would say 'Well, that ain't worth a crap!' As the Lakers lose the season opener vs the defending champions that knocked them out of the playoffs a season ago, is it all doom and gloom or were there positives in this game that could inspire hope?JC takes you through the loss and examines if it's time to panic or simply just 1 of 82 and sometimes losses are inevitable.

Move over Dumbledore, Rob Pelinka is throwing his hat into the ring to be the new king of the wizarding world with the work he’s done in NBA Free Agency.With the rest of the league spending like drunken sailors, Pelinka and the Lakers front office identified their guys, made their pitch, and kept the books clean to build a roster around LeBron and AD that actually makes sense.Ethan is back to deliver his take on the signings, what else the Lakers need, and to give some of his best and worst of the league-wide spending spree so far.It’s the league’s second season and we LOVE it in Lakerland!SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

The NBA season is over, the Denver Nuggets are your NBA Champions, let the off-season begin!JC takes you through where his mind is as far as this Lakers team is, what the Lakers priorities should be, he praises Austin Reaves a lot (as he should).He also brings up that there might be a changing of the guard(s?) as far as how teams philosophically build their rosters going forward.

The up and down season is over, and not on a positive note but a nebulous one. After a 4-0 sweep by the Denver Nuggets, suddenly LeBron looks old and is talking retirement. Anthony Davis isn't an everyday superstar, Reaves might be too expensive to retain and history might repeat itself if the Lakers go after a high priced point guard at the expense of their young core.JC takes you through what the priority list for the Lakers should be this summer, his thoughts on the season as a whole and his assessment of Darvin Ham's rookie year as a head coach.It's a bittersweet ending and episode, but hopefully one that fills Lakers with some enthusiasm for the upcoming off-season.SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

Let’s just call it what it appears to be: The Lakers have run out of gas.D’Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroder have been more invisible than Casper, Jamal Murray is hotter than a sizzling fajita skillet at your favorite Mexican restaurant, and when Nikola Jokic is a footnote and the Lakers still can’t figure it out, it’s not a good sign for what’s about to come.The Lakers are caught somewhere in between thinking about what’s next and trying to stay present to take at least one game in these Western Conference Finals, but it’s going to take more than just Anthony Davis or LeBron James—or even Austin Reaves—for LA to have it their way at least one time vs. a better Denver team.The Nuggets are talented, deep, connected, and that’s what has the Lakers on life support as they try desperately not to have their season ended on Monday in a four-game sweep. Ethan returns on a solo ride to discuss what has happened to the Lakers, offer some potential perspective, and how the Lakers can get back into the series one game at a time. SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

The Lakers are now four wins away from reaching the NBA Finals, and eight wins away from securing another championship. As our old friend Shaquille O’Neal would say: “CAN YOU DIG IT?!”LeBron might be the third oldest player in the league, but he continues to show why he’s unlike anyone or anything we have ever seen. Anthony Davis turned a couple of narratives on their heads, Austin Reaves is back to being HIM, and Dennis Schroder starring as the irritant is exactly what this Lakers group needs to continue to play cohesive basketball.Ethan and JC link up to discuss the second-round win, the Warriors immediate future, and how the Lakers can look to replicate their success vs. Golden State as they move on to the No. 1 seeded Denver Nuggets.Get out the sweet and sour sauce for what should be a juicy Western Conference Finals ahead. SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

Lakers came out in full force in Game 1 vs the Golden State Warriors in a hardfought 117-112 victory that easily could've gone either way. Anthony Davis continues to be a dominant, Shaq-like force to the tune of a 30/20 game with 4 blocks.Jarred Vanderbilt made life as difficult as one can vs Steph Curry (Steph still hit a few threes) but was admirable in his effort.

“If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a Grizzly bear, HELP THE BEAR!” The Lakers are heading to the second round on the cusp of a 40 (!) point win, and the only thing fans are still waiting for is Dillon Brooks to say something to the “media that made him a villain.”D’Angelo Russell was sensational, Anthony Davis enjoyed his non-championship Lakers signature moment, and LeBron James reminded everyone that he is still very much that dude.Ethan is back on a solo ride to wrap it up from Round 1, look ahead to Round 2, and to provide purposeful prose to give the Lakers — and their fans — their flowers.SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!

Witness has been a word we've long used with LeBron, but The Kid From Akron made Los Angeles his own upon setting the all-time scoring record in the house that Kobe Bryant built. The math behind the accomplishment is remarkable: Make no mistake, this is the greatest individual record in professional sports that we will ever witness being broken. As magical as the moment was, the Lakers suffered yet another critical loss vs. a team standing in their playoff path, the team's identity remains a question mark, the Lakers' commitment to defense is currently in name only, and Darvin Ham has a lot to figure out with his rotations as the trade deadline comes in hot.Kyrie Irving is no longer an option, and the Lakers have a lot to consider as they try to improve the roster around LeBron's magical run at 38 years young. SUBSCRIBE, Rate and Review on iTunes and make sure to follow @EthosLakers on Twitter for all our delightful updates and goodies!PropUp on ThriveFantasy this NBA season!
