LAKERHOLICS PODCASTS

Super podcast. We’re slowly working on getting Gerald to buy a ticket on the Playoff Rondo Bandwagon before the Finals so he won’t miss all the fun. Gerald and Sean still thinking Nuggets are going to win Saturday so series goes to 6 games. I still have the Lakers in five (with a brief road bump detour to a sweep) so I’m looking to keep up with the Heat and celebrate the semis before moving on to the Finals. 11 down, 5 to go. Lakers 2020 Champs. All hail the Bubble!

Great BALLS TO THE WALLS spiel by Sean you’ll need to hear!

Done dropped it! Sorry I missed out, was watching the game late and had to handle home stuff. It happens when you got a 2-and-three-quarters-year old running things.

Wow! Rafael now has Gerald doubting Lakers are in charge even though they lead 2-1 and almost came back from 20 to win Game 3 after being overconfident. He and Rafael think the Lakers gave the Nuggets confidence? Watch tonight as we snatch that away from them. Big mistake underestimating LeBron James and Anthony Davis, guys. Embarrassing.

Whether it was over-confidence, the shell zone or the greatness of the Nuggets’ superstars. The Laker bench struggled in general against the Nuggets. It’s funny how McGee’s 8 minutes can sink or swim a ball game…lol. Dwight won’t make it 20 minutes in a playoff series guarding Jokic and the Nuggets pick and roll. In 14 minutes he picked up 4 fouls. Whether he deserves them or not or if other guys would get those fouls isn’t really a debatable point. If you want him to be on the floor when the game matters you need 10-15 minutes of JVMG. While not stellar minutes I don’t think they’re terrible.

Nuggets outworked us, tip the cap and move on. There are plenty of minor tweaks we can deploy: drop that zone earlier and mix the looks up you give Jokic and Murray on D, stop Grant from getting easy buckets on rim rolls and try and activate Kuzma. You could start Dwight but I worry about his late-game availability/effectiveness.

Man, this was the best Lakers Fast Break podcast ever. If you want to have a fun time and revel in AD’s game winning, buzzer beating shot and the Lakers big win over the Nuggets, this is the podcast you need to listen to.

Gerald was his usual host extraordinaire but the guests weren’t in the mood to be controlled and the results were the funniest pod we’ve ever made. Sean was brilliant, especially his portrayal of JaVale McGee belonging on the Isle of Misfit Toys as well as several other hilarious rejoinders, Rafael’s dry wit and sparkling intelligence were on full throttle, and even Jamie’s glass half empty repartee was rocking and rolling.

I joined Chuck in bringing out the brooms, Gerald tried in vain to cancel the Rondo bandwagon, and we had some heated discussions about whether to start Dwight Howard, whether the Nuggets could win a game, and whether the Heat of Celtics would be a tougher matchup for the Lakers in the Finals.

So jump aboard the fun train and join us in celebrating a great Lakers win. 10 down and 6 to go. Lakers going to win their 17th NBA championship. Don’t forget that 5 star review. Thanks.

Fun podcast, I feel for non-Laker fan Rafael B. We were on the ‘pumped up’ side of the ledger, lol.
