Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

All of the Southern Brick Show went from the Purple and Gold

but then again, we are talking about Laker fan, aren't we?

And Laker fan was always going to do what Laker Fan does.

Get immediately swept up in the hype and buy all the way back in,

and based on what? One pretty exciting game. Next thing you know they're all

right back on the bandwagon as only Laker fan can. Now on some level I do kind of understand it. It has been a miserable couple of years.

Even if LeBron says that they are not a failure.

I mean it's not failure at all.

Last season was not a failure at all.

I mean it's not failure at all. I mean it was brawn it was the biggest failure ever like

that taking it of itself gets worse every single day last season absolutely was a failure and this season it hasn't been

much better. So I get where people want to be hyped about that win in Dallas. You know you

start to convince themselves that the roster is

different. We got rid of Westbrook, we came back on a Dallas team for the biggest

comeback of the year. You know maybe it is different a legitimately exciting comeback win over
