While Dennis Schröder was out, the Lakers went 0-4. Since he’s returned, they’ve won two games in a row. While that isn’t grounds to campaign for him to win MVP, it does mean it’s time to appreciate how much he helps this team and how important he is, especially with Anthony Davis set to miss at least five more games. So on today’s episode of “Lakers, Explained," that’s exactly what co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin did. Did they undervalue how important to this team Dennis is before? I...

The Lakers have lost four games in a row, with their 114-89 embarrassment against the Utah Jazz basically being two and a half quarters of garbage time following a mostly competitive first frame. Yes, Anthony Davis and Dennis Schröder have missed time, but this team shouldn’t be this bad, should it? That’s the question we tried to answer on our latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll postgame show. Hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin started out the show with the caveat that this loss w...

The Lakers lost to the Brooklyn Nets 109-98 Thursday, and it was hard to take too much away from a game when the team was without Anthony Davis and lost Dennis Schröder right before game time, especially defensively.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won their last six games, which is now their longest streak of the season, but if you’ve been paying attention, it really doesn’t feel like they’ve been that good. Mostly because they haven’t. That’s why their last three took them at least one overtime to sort out despite playing against lottery teams. But impressive or not, the team still is winning, after all, and so on our latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll podcast, host Sabreena Merchant was joined by ou...
