What do you think about the Laker team now?

Do you follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

You don't smile much out there.

What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, not joined by Darius

today, but joined by a special guest. We go into this last weekend of the season with the

Lakers in control of their own destiny for the three seed. They've got to win one of their last two.

First attempt is tonight against the Rockets. We'll see if the Rockets sit Shingoon or anyone else,

but we'll see. But assuming the Lakers get the three seed, or even the four or five, they can't

go any lower than the five. There are five different teams who the Lakers could play in the first round. And there's a difference between the record, right?

We look at the standings.

We go on NBA.com and we see all these teams around the same record, but not everyone

is playing the same caliber of basketball right now.

And so to help us get our legs under us and help us understand who's doing what right now,

we have the host of what I consider to be the best daily

general NBA content around the NBA hoops tonight. Jason Tim, first time on the pod. Welcome,

my man. Pete, this is a big moment for me, as I was trying to tell you before I came on the show.
