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.

You don't smile much out there.

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore.

Correct.

And a rare occurrence here on the LFR pod during the season, we went three games between

pods. And so it gives us an opportunity, D, to talk about the team in a little more big picture sense rather than do a game recap.

The Lakers also have another game tonight against the T-Wolves, back-to-back. Lakers got a win last night, despite their best efforts.

And in part due to a very clutch timeout by Utah Jazz coach Will Hardy, but they escape.

Good bounceback game against OKC, the Lakers cannot score enough.

Excellent team in OKC defensively, the number one defensive rating in the league,

Austin takes a tumble, ends up missing last night's game, as did DeAngelo Russell
