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. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Filmroom podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And at the end of yesterday's pod, we mentioned that we were going to talk about the coaching search. We're going to put that off a little bit.

He said that he was going to opt into his player option.

And he's a smallish guard.

We've talked about him, and obviously he never played this year.

And last night was a great night to be a smallish scoring guard in the NBA. First, you had

Tyrese Maxi just playing great as Phillies really taking it to Toronto in a way that I

in no small part due to the play of Tyrese Maxie. In Dallas, Jalen Brunson had a huge performance,

career high 41 points as a 6-1 point guard to tie up the series going back to Utah as Dallas
