Laker Film Room - Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball

A night after the 76ers got blitzed by the Celtics, Pete and Darius zoom in on Philly to discuss how they look and feel a bit familiar to some of the recent LeBron-led Lakers, what they think the reasons are for Philly’s offensive struggles even with all their talent, why the Lakers leap forward in offense this season is less about better talent and more about clearer roles, and much more.

After a slow start, the Lakers bench came in and quickly turned the game around in a 124-114 win over Atlanta without Austin Reaves or Quentin Grimes. The guys discuss Sexton & Mamu having their best games as Lakers so far, Kessler stepping up on offense, what they’ve seen in the first few real shifts from Adou and Carr, Luka’s incredible baseline of production and more.

Powered by separate dynamic scoring nights from their star guards, the Lakers swept their weekend games getting revenge against the Blazers on Friday and fending off the Pistons to hold on for a tough win in Detroit. Pete and Darius highlight both games, diving into Luka’s 53-point masterpiece against the Blazers on Friday and then, with Dončić out vs. Detroit, marveling at Austin Reaves dropping 43 points of his own and strides he’s made reading the game and taking care the ball, the help he got from Ziaire Williams and Walker Kessler, the roller coaster Collin Sexton experience, and much more.

The Lakers started out slowly, but found their rhythm on both sides of the ball to beat the Kings and move to 7-2 on the season. Pete and Darius break down how they did it, highlighting another 40-point outburst from Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves shining in his role, and the team’s defense picking it up when needed. And then later, the guys discuss the early season performances from Quentin Grimes and Colin Sexton and why the fit of the latter is coming into focus in a worrisome way.
