| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.0 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.0 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.0 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:10.0 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.0 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.0 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. |
| 0:22.9 | Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. |

| 1:02.4 | game off since the first two or three games of that Houston series. And when you're not getting |
| 1:07.3 | really any production out of your guards, you're not going to be able to beat OKC. Whereas, you know, between LeBron, Rui, and D.A, I, you know, was fairly happy with their |
| 1:16.7 | performances on the offensive end especially. And so talk to me, Dee, about how do we get more |
| 1:21.5 | production out of our guards? I was just looking at the box score again. LeBron and Rui |
