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? Lakers drop game three of the Western Conference Finals, putting them in a position where if they want to move on, they're going to have to do something unprecedented in NBA history. That's come back from a 3-0 deficit. Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete,

good team. Yeah. So first things first, I mentioned this to you last night that I was not really ready for the Lakers season to be over.

And technically it's not over, but technically it is in its own way as well.

To have to sort of like recount all of this and really dive in when you're crestfallen as a fan.
