Lakers, Explained: The origins of the "Alex Caruso, Unacceptable" clip

With the Lakers — for now — set to play the Rockets on Tuesday for the second game in a row after beating them on Sunday, we figured there was no one better to have as a guest on the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — than Michael Brown, who podcasts about the Rockets for "Harden My Take. He joined host Harrison Faigen for a discussion of where both of these teams stand in the middle of their baseball-style series, and what it’s been like to follow this Rockets team this year. After that, Mike and I got into what both teams can learn about each other from these two games, and finally, at the end, Mike -- who is the Rockets podcaster who got really upset about Alex Caruso's 16 points in the Conference semifinals -- was nice enough to give us some background on what the reaction to his viral, Lakers Twitter moment was like for him, and even give us an updated version. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Michael at @UHBigRedHatGuy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lakers, Explained: Marc Gasol, Explained

Marc Gasol is one of the Lakers' most interesting new additions, so on the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — Harrison (@hmfaigen) was joined by Katie Heindl (@wtevs) of Uproxx, The Dishes and Dimes Podcast and a whole bunch of other places. Katie has covered Gasol with the Toronto Raptors for the last several years and is one of the foremost Marc Gasol appreciators on the internet, and so Harrison couldn’t think of anyone better to talk about the team’s (presumably) starting center. To start things off, Harrison and Katie discussed what Gasol’s last several years with the Raptors have been like, and what the current state of his game is. Then, they got into whether or not Katie was surprised to see him depart Toronto/Tampa Bay, and how he might fit in with the Lakers’ unique array of talent. Finally, they wrapped things up by talking about Serge Ibaka’s fit with the Clippers, and whether or not he makes them more of a threat to the Lakers should the two teams match up in the playoffs.

How much should KCP be worth to the Lakers?

After spending the first segment of the show (0:00-14:29) discussing the latest on the NBA and NBPA’s continuing negotiations over when the 2020-21 season will start, Harrison and Anthony looked back on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s year, his up-and-down (and often-polarizing) Lakers career, and then debated how much he’ll be worth to the team moving forward. Because of the weirdness of this free agency market and the context of their roster, Caldwell-Pope might literally be more valuable to the Lakers than he would be to any other NBA team, but retaining him could come at a steep price. Harrison and Anthony discussed why it still might be worth paying. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Anthony at @AnthonyIrwinLA. Learn more about your ad choices.
