After a relatively slow crawl to start the season, the Lakers had their first instance of five games in seven days with back-to-backs bookending the stretch.

There was lots of good and some very notable bad. The team earned wins over Toronto and Miami, but also had an ugly loss to the Warriors and a shootout with the Blazers.

So, it gives us plenty to talk about in our latest mailbag. Fire your questions about the Lakers or NBA or WNBA away.

As always, keep things friendly!
