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.

What's up, Laker fans?

Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And last night, the Lakers fell to the Dallas Mavericks. and what was a pretty good game, at least for stretches of it.

didn't hit a three he did get to the free throw line 11 times but they're they competed pretty
