    This guy flip flops as much between the sky is falling and maybe we can be good when we have our whole team back as the comments in GT from 5 minutes to the next 5 minutes.

    I think he (and the rest of the LakerFilmRoom guys) just call it how they see it. Praise and/or criticism when its deserved.

    Pretty much.

    Nobody is perfect.

    I like Darius and Pete.

    I didn’t realize Darius was with Pete and know Pete is top notch of course. Anyone know if he’s still retained by the Lakers (employed?) to do what (?) he does for them?

    For one, I’m pretty sure the Laker Film Room podcast is the official Lakers podcast, because they made them add Mike Trudell to it. Aside from that he does a lot of the gameplay videos for the official Lakers social media, and for some reason Darius said on the pod that the Lakers have Pete going to the arena for games now. Like he was the one that did the videos of Chick’s voice calling games set to the footage from the recent game. I’m pretty sure Pete puts out all videos like this



    I’m also a fan of Darius, he’s one of the more level headed Lakers Twitter guys and a very smart basketball mind. Like Anthony I think got it wrong here and Darius corrected him, turns out ESPN had it wrong, or at least odd

    That play above is how I would play right now in a pickup ball setting. You know... the only problem is I am old enough to be his dad. Not quite, but almost.

    If I was coach, he'd be instantly benched after that. Veteran play my %$#^%$.

    Right now, hypothetically, on offense, with the starting lineup. Because he can shoot and can also like THT make plays and he has seemingly, at 2 plus years of age and college experience, better hoop IQ. Both doing pretty well on defense but THT may be a little better right now (?) and has more strength and mass to bump with, plus the long arms.
