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? Bad Night on Saturday night. You're listening to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. We're recording this on Sunday night. Darius is like, oh, yeah, let's record in the evening, right? So I had to get myself all remad and watch the game again before we recorded.

Sorry. I'm sorry about that. No, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. We needed to do this anyway. You know, we'll talk strategy and, you know, what the Lakers could possibly do and things like that and a little bit later, D. But before all of that, there's a certain amount of

like, if I had lost to somebody 12 out of 13 times at anything, tick-tac-toll, anything,

I am not going out like that in terms of the level of fight in that second half, it was so weird,

Dee, it was such a deflated performance

that I don't entirely know what to make of it. And I actually put a lot into it. Maybe I'm

overreacting to it. But there was just a level of walking and jogging and just like,

here we are getting our ass kicked by the nuggetsuggets again and doesn't bother me that much.

I don't know.

Can I just say that this stands in stark contrast to what the last games against the Nuggets

actually looked like in the playoffs?

Yeah, they fought their ass off.

The Lakers fought so hard against them in the playoffs.

And for all the jokes about like gentlemen sweep and like, oh, great, do you want a medal?

And all the national sort of pundity stuff.
