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 Film Room podcast, brought you by the Blue Art Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And the Lakers try to continue their currently undefeated road trip with what I think is the toughest stretch. They've got Cleveland tonight, a very good Cleveland

Cavaliers team, and then Toronto tomorrow on the second night of a back-to-back. And they'll be a

little bit short-handed with a role player who's emerged. Mike, what's going on with Wenin Gabriel?

Yeah, we just found out this morning, Gabriel has a shoulder sprain. So he's going to be out at least a week. Now, a shoulder

sprain, this is not something, this is not a official update or anything, but I think it's

something that generally ends up sort of working itself out or healing itself. It's not, you know,

long-term thing. But even being out a week is significant just based on how Gabriel has been

playing off the bench. And I know, like at Washington, for example, he didn't play a lot. He only

played nine minutes. But he was pretty consistently playing anywhere from, you know, 13 to 20 in the

previous matches up to that games. I was saying matches. I'm watching soccer here. Games up to that point. And I think that, like, they're going to have to figure out what to do in that spot. It's going to be more Thomas Bryant. But then there's that that one extra spot that Darius, I'm sure, we'll get into here. Yeah, I'm one of the things that has been a delight to watch is Wynion Gabriel and

Thomas Bryant just sort of wreak havoc on second units and second units that are typically smaller

as well.

And so they both bring physicality in their own ways.

Wynion isn't a dude who is knocking you around by any stretch of the imagination,
