Running of the Bulls

The Lakers have lost back to back games, the first in a blowout when nearly every rotation player sat when the team played their sixth game in eight nights and then the second another blowout loss, this time with the full rotation available against the upstart Bulls who simply dominated them. Pete and Darius zero in on the Bulls game and discuss whether some of the defensive challenges the Lakers faced are part of larger concern or just a one-off. And then later the guys discuss Jarred Vanderbilt, where he fits best within lineup groupings, his role on offense, and much more.

Hey, Guys! OMG! The Goonies and The Warriors references in one podcast—absolutely brilliant! Two of my favorite movies ever. Such an informative, insightful show; thank you so much. Here’s my question: Listening to different podcasts, there seems to be a core disagreement on Jaxson Hayes’s worth. Some think he’s played himself into a 2-year contract at $4-$7M per year range. Others think he’s not worth nearly that much because he’s being spoon-fed by Luka, LeBron and Austin, so the “improvement” isn’t good enough to go beyond a 2-year, slightly above minimum deal. What do you guys think? Thanks. Lakers OGF (Old Guy Fan)

I feel this podcast really speaks to those who understand the game. If you play the game, you coach the game or you have a deep understanding of the game you’ll appreciate this podcast. I also like the video breakdowns that they produce on YouTube! Check them out if you have it.

Show has fallen off since Mike stopped coming on. Also, a 2 minute ad to start each episode is diabolical and ridiculous. And a quick question, does Darius have issues with his mic? Very often it sounds like the words distort and they just don’t sound right and I just think he needs a new mic cause it really takes me out whenever that happens, which is quite often.

The Lakers just traded Jalen Hood Shafino. Will you be doing a pod on the impact of this trade?
