Summary
The Lakers played the 76ers tough on Wednesday night, but without LeBron James the talent gap and Philly's defensive pressure were enough to keep the Lakers at arm's length. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the game, focusing on the Lakers' continued improvement offensively and what they're doing on that side of the ball that's working. Then later, the guys discuss Stanley Johnson's overall game, his skill as a passer, and why he and Wenyen Gabriel have made for such a fun pairing in recent games.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.4 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show |
| 0:15.5 | because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money |

| 0:26.3 | Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And last night, the Lakers had an honorable |
| 0:31.8 | loss without LeBron James. Played well, but Philly kept him at arm's distance. One crazy thing to note about that |
| 0:39.3 | game, aside from Russell Westbrook, every player that the Lakers had available to them was, is on a |
| 0:44.9 | vet minimum contract. So it was Russ and the vet men's last night. And I thought that they did well in |
| 0:51.0 | the areas that they could do well. But Philly's size and just the talent discrepancy |
| 0:56.7 | was too much in the end. But I thought it was a game where like I can watch this team. |
| 1:02.3 | This is a watchable basketball team, probably the most fun I've had watching the Lakers this year |
| 1:07.1 | over these last four games or so. I think our offense has taken a real step forward and we've started to just bring some new |
| 1:13.4 | things to the table. |
| 1:14.4 | I know we're late in the season for moral victories and things like that, but I think that |
| 1:20.2 | in the spirit of what we've been talking about, really over the last month of kind of getting |
| 1:24.1 | ground underneath us and stop digging the hole that we've been falling into. |
