0:00.0	What do you think about the Laker team now?
0:03.5	You follow the box scores of the games every day?
0:06.0	Just the Lakers.
0:07.3	You're kidding.
0:08.6	That is really a compliment.
0:12.8	I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show
0:15.5	because once the game starts, you have a game face.
0:17.7	You don't smile much out there.
0:20.4	I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct.
0:23.5	What's up, Laker fans? It's all over. You're listening to Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete,

1:10.3	performance from them on the poor side,
1:12.6	they shot like 15% from three on 47 threes, a lot of which were wide open off of offensive
1:17.8	rebounds. I think if you play that game a hundred times, they win by 20 plus in a whole lot of
