Summary

The Lakers next stretch of games features a slew of playoff ready teams who offer the opportunity to get a good picture of how resilient the Lakers are and what approach they will take in getting ready for the playoffs (or, if things break against them, the play-in). Pete, Darius, and Mike discuss how they think the team will respond to this stretch and what changes to approach they'd like to see the team make defensively and with the rotation to get on track and prepare for the postseason.

0:38.6

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.

Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought to by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined as always by Darius and Mike. And this is kind of a two-part episode, and we're recording it before the Denver game has been played, but this is being released after the Denver game has been played. So if there is some context to that game that might color this conversation, and of course,

1:17.3

every game provides that, it won't be in this pod.

1:24.2

That said, in the last episode, we talked about the team's approach, Anthony Davis, and kind of Mike and Darius both did a great job of summarizing it at the end, but the idea of the body and the mind being connected and we're in kind of this woe is a me place.
