Pwall94As knowledgeable as it getsTim’s dedication to high quality content and data is unparalleled in the nba world. I feel so blessed to have found him and his podcast this past year.
-
iCentaur.comCBA ironyNew CBA is a blessing in disguise as it limits teams ability to charge a Lakers tax! Go figure.
-
The_AwesometeerBest Lakers PodcastI have hopped around for years trying to find a good Lakers podcast that was honest, able to say both negatives and positives, and still had love for the Lakers no matter what. This is it
-
rriqueroprTop of the lineOne of the most technically comprehensive shows out there. Down to earth honest analysis based on facts very sharp and sound. Keep it up
-
JNmbrsBest NBA Analysis By FarNot only the best Lakers content, this show is the best NBA analysis on the air. They make outstanding use of data and mix it with great insights from film review. Highly recommended.

PjV818Best podcast on Lakers basketball X’s and O’sGreat podcast for learning about the Lakers and the game of basketball. Appreciate the way analytics and X’s and O’s are used to help see the game in a new way.
-
xprmntlyBest Lakers PodcastLove this podcast. Tim (Cranjis) and Tom do an excellent job revealing the strategic decisions that contribute heavily to winning and losing. It isn’t always the case that a player is “tired” or “unmotivated” instead they may have been schemed out of position by the opposing coaching staff. Learned so much from them!
-
S-NakaBest X&O podcastIf you like basketball X&Os, this is the one. I can tell a lot of prep goes into each pod and it’s always a great listen! 10/10 recommend!
-
DukeofchenAwesome ContentAs a diehard Laker fan who never played basketball at anything close to resembling a competitive level, this podcast is just the business. Brings my appreciation of the game to a new level, and a breath of fresh air in an era of hot takes.
-

CouchGMJoin discordHi guys. I really enjoy the pod. I would like to join the discord but don’t have a twitter or anything.
-
Shay248Great podcast!One of my favorite Lakers shows. Both hosts are great and balance each other out in a methodical way. The data they share on the show keeps the content interesting in both the off-season and in-season portions of the year.
-
lakersfan112233Perfect duoLove the duo. Tom is cynical like most of us and says it how it is. Cranjis feeds off that energy well and provides such elite level of data to help understand certain players etc. wish they recorded more.
-
Lakers bwoiiiiLakerSexPodLove Cranjis and Tom Z!
-
looking for a good nba podcastOne of the best Laker podcastsEntertaining show with thoughtful analysis. Ranks up there with LakersNation and Lakers Film Room as my favorite Lakers podcasts
-
MrZeleGreat pod with good analysisStarted listening this season, pod is balanced and gives insightful and in depth info on the team
-
John Jaha, EsqA thoroughly tedious 45 minutesBulls fan with a lot of time to kill on a recent road trip and this was in the suggestions. An abysmal product. Negative charisma from both hosts, though it never stops them from trying. Commentary is all refried roasts and takes that weren’t insightful when you first read them on Twitter 3 days ago. Zero analysis besides the implied sophistication of some invented formulas and metrics they reference to sell you on their “subscription data services”. Avoid even if desperate.
-
blakevynbaFavorite analytical NBA/Lakers podcast hands down!Easily the best nba podcast out there!
-
RetrofndjsnwnsBest bball pod I’ve listened toGreat breakdown of the game of basketball!

SelfjaiBest Lakers content outAlways tap in for the best and honest Lakers discourse. Traveling back and forth for school I always have this pod downloaded for my plane ride. Great stuff here.

-
BFisch51Great Basketball PodGuys do a great job of breaking down Xs and Os and analytics. Great pod to get more in the technical side of basketball.
-
Kogane de MurrietaA must-have in your basketball podcast rotationYou can count on this show to feature strong analysis through the continually entertaining experience of Lakers fandom. Through the good times and the bad, Cranjis & Tom paint a dynamic picture. They’re really the full package. The Basketball Index work is great- it always feels like there is a new aspect of the game they’re working to understand and explain. The guys make their knowledge available and the conversation’s always interesting & fun to follow. This podcast offers fair and well-grounded explanations of the product on the court. It has great value for fans of the team, the NBA, and for basketball generally- you’ll get good content centered around all three. For those interested in hearing what some of the Lakers’ most dedicated observers are seeing, this is a must-have in your library. For those following the off-the-court telenovela that is the Lakers franchise, you’ll enjoy a lifer and a savant being stumped and rendered nearly speechless by the unquantifiable mess that is the Lakers’ experience.

mattpell21Lowering the barriers to real analysisThe fellas toe the line of nerd advanced analytics and actual hoops really well. A must listen for any basketball fan
-
Xml1964SupetdtGreat basketball discussion with nuance and detailTim and Tom always bring interesting insights and compelling data to their discussions (while also taking time to have fun at different points). Looking forward to continuing to listen while the Lakers get back on track (hopefully soon).
