Summary
The Lakers lost their 8th consecutive game to the Nuggets over the weekend, and did so in a familiar fashion with Denver's execution and shot making seizing the game down the stretch. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the game, the challenges of defending the Nuggets, the decision to play Cam Reddish over D'Angelo Russell down the stretch, and much more. And then later, the guys preview Monday's matchup with the Thunder and dive into the Anthony Davis vs. Chet Holmgren matchup and brainstorm ideas for defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.5 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | 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 the Lakers lost their eighth straight to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, 124 to 114 in a game that looks suspiciously like a lot of the other games that they played against them. |
| 0:39.0 | I thought that first half was probably the best half of the eight that we've played, and I think |
| 0:43.6 | that there's some things to learn from and build off of in that. But Michael Porter Jr. |
| 0:48.6 | became the first player in NBA history to make 10 plus shots, make all of them while taking |
| 0:53.4 | at least five threes. |
| 0:55.1 | Yolkich was incredible as he always is. Jamal Marie was a game time decision and people didn't |

| 1:11.8 | Cam Reddish to close the game and that did not go so well. So D, that was a game. Again, |
| 1:16.3 | we've seen a lot of those between those two teams where it's kind of close toward the end and then Denver |
| 1:22.1 | leverages their advantages to get to what they want to. Lakers have not solved the Denver riddle. So what do you see |
| 1:28.3 | in that game on Saturday night? Well, I think you laid out a lot of it, a very familiar loss. And I wrote that for Lakers.com. Like I didn't want to pull out a Groundhog Day reference, but that's what it sort of felt like. The Lakers reliving the same game over and over again.

| 1:47.2 | To sort of not. reliving the same game over and over again. It even featured a Sambore shuffle, Yokic, |
| 1:45.7 | Heave at the end of a shot clock. That wasn't the cherry on the Sunday, but it was a part of the, |
