LAKERHOLICS PODCASTS

Good wrap up by everybody. Great game and elite defense by Lakers. Gerald still pissed on blowing the big lead in the 4th with the scrubs on the floor. Everybody writing obituaries for the Nuggets. Lakers Horsemen can smell the barn and see the finish line. 9 down, 7 more to go. Start Dwight instead of JaVale tomorrow. Let’s finish this series in 4. Time for Nuggets to join Clippers in Cancun.

By the way, hope you all saw the TNT crew do their Going Fishing trip on the Clippers. It was hilarious. They had a photo of Kawhi in a Hawaiian shirt with PG in Cancun with a Mexican version of Lou Will’s Magic City girlie bar in the backgrond and Dame and CJ lounging nearby. So funny!

Nothing like two great games to give Gerald and Rafael the opportunity to show off their BBIQ. Of course, both are too much gentlemen to really lay it on the Clippers the way I will on the Thursday podcast. Biggest choke in the history of the modern NBA by Kawhi, PG, Doc. For the rest of 2020, we should insert Chokers whenever we want to write or say Clippers.

Give the guys a listen and you won’t be disappointed. And forgive Rafael for picking the Clippers, oops, the Chokers to win it all although I will give him credit for reassessing that prediction after Lou Will’s sojourn to get some booty and chicken wings.

Gerald and Rafael both picked the Heat so they were understandably thrilled with Game 1 in the Eastern Conference as was I. How sweet could a pair of NBA games not involving the Lakers be to see the Clippers and the Celtics get beaten. Tatum settling in regulation for those jumpers had Kobe rolling in his grave. I give Jason credit for taking it to the hoop at the end of OT but man, the greatest block in playoff history by Bam. I still have the Celtics in 6 but almost want to be wrong so they can suffer a fate like the Chokers.

Going to be a fun WCF against the Nuggets. Kudos to them for taking down the Chokers. Murray and Jokic are for real. Only problem is they’re going up against LeBron and AD. The two things that win championships are superstars and defense, two areas where the Lakers are infinitely superior.

Writing my preview article now and, despite the Nuggets being a bigger challenge than the Blazers and Rockets, it’s still going to be Lakers in 5.

Give a listen to Gerald and me talking about the Nuggets having the Clippers right where they want them. Loved PG saying the Clippers were still in the drivers seat. No home court or home court crowd has enabled some of these younger teams.

I make a big point on the podcast how the Lakers as a team have been on the same page all season long, which is a tribute to Rob Pelinka for putting together a compatible roster, for Frank Vogel and his staff for a great job coaching and including LeBron and AD in the decision making. Camaraderie and culture are two things that really differentiate the Lakers from the Clippers.

It’s not Kawhi and PG who set the culture for the Clippers. It’s Pat Bev and Lou Will and that’s their problem.

Enjoy the podcast. None on Monday but Gerald and Rafael will be back Tuesday night to talk about Clippers and Nuggets. Don’t forget the five star reviews. Thanks.

If you want to listen to a spirited and rowdy Lakers Fast Break podcast, this is the one you should not miss. We cover the Lakers great win, where the Rockets go from here, who starts for the Lakers against the Clippers, the Rondo/Russ dustup, and what happens with the Morris twins if a fight breaks out between the Lakers and Clippers. Jump aboard for a fun ride and don’t forget to give us that five star review. Thanks, Lakerholics.
