What do you think about the Laker team now?

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 bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

You don't smile much out there.

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Filmroom podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. And the Lakers will not be going winless this preseason. They got a fun one in Golden State last night, 124 to 121. AD had a huge first half. Kendrick Nunn continued

his strong play, and Matt Ryan caught fire in the second half, and Lakers pulled out the

win. And you were on the ground to see it, Dee. You were in the arena, man. Talk to us about

news that I didn't realize beforehand is that Troy Brown's not going to be ready for the

Brown working out before the game. And so he seems like he's progressing, but still a ways

away, it seems. Um, and Darwin did mention as well that Dennis Schroeder would be practicing

today, the day that we're recording the pod. So all of that is just some newsy stuff that we can hit before we start to get into the actual game.
