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.

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 this time last week, we recorded a pod called Keep It Going. Lakers had won two in a row. They were going into a weekend and we were hopeful that they could kind of build on that momentum.

But it was entering a weekend against the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers,

both of whom are right at the top of their respective conferences. This weekend, after a very

rough week, the Lakers are looking to get it back. Under different circumstances, they played

the Sacramento Kings tonight, who are probably the worst team that the Lakers have played so far, and then the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, who are

certainly playing better as of late, but haven't started the season particularly well either.

However, we also got news that LeBron will be out for tonight's game against the Kings, and probably

Sunday as well. The Lakers have an unusual break in that they have several days off between, what's it, the Kings and probably Sunday as well. The Lakers have an unusual

break in that they have several days off between what's it Sunday and then Thursday, I think,

is the next game. And so it just kind of an unusual bit of circumstances. So Mike, we have some

easier opponents, but we've got a situation with LeBron. Give us an update on that on where things stand

with LeBron. Yeah, I thought it that on where things stand with LeBron.
