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 Wire

Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And the Laker is freaking collapsed in Oklahoma

City yesterday, blowing a 26 point lead. I believe the stat was 230 straight wins with a 25 plus point lead. Darius,

I saw a team that was actually very hot playing very well early in that game. Oklahoma City is

obviously not good. They are rebuilding, arguably tanking, perhaps the worst roster in the league.

And we made them look that way over the first 18 minutes

or so of that game. And I saw a team that led its foot off the gas for a pretty decent stretch

of that game, being totally fine, not rotating at all on defense, not a step later,

or anything like that, like just saying, fine, we'll give you this open three. We're going to take

a lot of jumpers, cutting a lot of corners. And then when they tried to get it back, which I think you and I may have different lines for where we thought that they tried to, you know, okay, we're going to try to bring it back in. They couldn't summon what they needed to summon to get that victory. So what did you see, man? What were your main takeaways from that collapse in Oklahoma City?

I mean, there's so much, man.

Like, I hate to be so big picture, big picture.

Without LeBron and without some of the depth that the team has, this team is going to struggle in very specific ways.

Like, big picture.
