  • Weird Guys

    Typically the show is okay. Not a ton of actual analysis, but moreso two Lakers bros chatting while giggling to their own inside jokes. The last episode was pretty ridiculous. A an embarrassing Rob Pelinka d1ck stroking fest while generalizing the entire Lakers fan base as impatient, dumb, and young. These dudes are like 30 year old…ranting about how young and immature the fanbase is, while simultaneously being incapable of portraying an honest reflection of the front office. Rob Pelinka’s bad s... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 714: Week 1 In Review - How GOOD Are the Lakers Really? (ft. Raj Chipalu of Lakers Today)
Q: What are you taking away from either these stats or what you've seen eye test wise so far? Good and bad?
Chipalu sees the Lakers' offense as sustainable because of Dončić and Reaves, but expects their three-point percentage to regress. He identifies rebounding and backup center minutes as the main concerns and favors using Mamukelashvili at center.
Ep. 714: Week 1 In Review - How GOOD Are the Lakers Really? (ft. Raj Chipalu of Lakers Today)
Q: What are your first thoughts on Walker Kessler through three games?
Chipalu says Kessler has delivered consistent defense, communication, and rim protection, and that his offense can fluctuate because he relies on teammates to create opportunities. He sees the Utah game as an emotional, difficult matchup rather than a reason to worry.
Ep. 716: Role-Playing In The Deep. (LAL's Depth Shines + Walker Worries? ft. TOMMY ALEXANDER)
Q: What are your thoughts on Walker Kessler in general?
Alexander says Kessler has been effective as a low-usage big and rim protector, while identifying more aggressive rebounding as an area for improvement.
Ep. 716: Role-Playing In The Deep. (LAL's Depth Shines + Walker Worries? ft. TOMMY ALEXANDER)
Q: What are your thoughts on the Clippers game and how it illustrated the Lakers' real depth this season?
Alexander says the Lakers' depth helped them overcome missing starters, with role players contributing offensively and the team using defense to generate offense.
Ep. 706: Standards & Practices. (Early Preseason Impressions Continued + Some Glass Half Empty Concerns ft. Ricky Barnes of Late Night Lake Show)
Q: What have you seen from Cam Carr?
Barnes says Carr's preseason performance makes him want to see more, but he wants to evaluate him against stronger competition and see whether he can earn meaningful rotation minutes.
