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. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike, and had a couple of thrillers in game one of the conference finals. First, Indiana killing me. Blowing a late game lead against Boston. Boston starts out 12-0 in that game,

comes out of the gates hot, but Indiana fights back in Tyrese Halliburton hits a couple of long bombs

to at the end of each the first and second quarter ties it up going into halftime, get the lead

toward the end, have some really bad turnovers. Jalen Brown hits an incredible corner three,

always foul up three. That seems to be the topic. LeBron tweeted that after that happened.

And Boston closes it out to win game one. Indiana has got to be kicking themselves coming

away from that game, but also feeling like, hey, we can beat these guys. I thought they really

showed some advantages in that game and didn't have some blistering hot three-point shooting performance, but they have some things there that they can go to. So that'll be an interesting series. And then Luca and Kyrie were brilliant last night, Mike, for the Dallas Mavs, take game one at Minnesota. Kyrie really did a lot of his work in the first half.

Anthony Edwards very publicly was like, I got him.

I want to guard him.

And Kyrie certainly came out and was ready for it in the first half.

And then Luca was brilliant down the stretch.

I thought Dallas's rim protection is just at a level that totally different than Denver's.

And I thought that kind of flummoxed Minnesota on offense a bit.

But let's start there, Mike, with the Minnesota Dallas series.
