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 part 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? You're listening to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius, and last night, Lakers dropped game one. Despite a nice start, they went up 7-0 to start the game. I was screaming, Stop the Count at my TV. And it was a game where most of the

way the Lakers were in striking distance. I think that the impression I came away from that game

OKC had a couple of big runs in the first half that I loved how the Lakers responded. They went up 10 at one point. Lakers

come out with a 9-2 run right away. They go on another run. Lakers answer with a run of their own

that there was a level of resilience that I really liked, but I thought the Lakers kind of broke

at the end of the third beginning of the but I thought the Lakers kind of broke at the end of

the third beginning of the fourth quarter where they started being kind of sloppy with their

passes. Marcus made a couple of bad turnovers. I think Austin had one and all of a sudden it's 19

points and the game is pretty much over at that point. Again, testing that how long can you focus and concentrate and
