Laker Film Room - Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball

The Lakers had a great comeback win against the Heat on Wednesday, snapping their three game losing streak and showing a resilience they'd lacked in recent losses to the Mavs and Spurs. Pete and Darius discuss the win, highlighting Austin's success as a playmaker, LeBron closing out the game, the team breaking through against Miami's zone, Rui bouncing back, and much more.  Support Pete here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lakerfilmroom Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/lakerfilmroom Pete’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LakerFilmRoom Pete’s Playback: https://www.playback.tv/lakerfilmroom For Feedback or Questions: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers face off against the Heat on Wednesday night, an important game with a chance to halt their three-game losing streak and play a team that offers a serious brand of hoops that the Lakers can strive towards. Pete and Darius discuss the game through the lens of the Lakers needing to improve their own level of seriousness and preparedness as the halfway point of the season nears.

After building up a double-digit lead deep into the 3rd quarter, the Lakers got blown out in the final 15 minutes against the Spurs, letting go of the rope and showing a concerning lack of adjustments to how the Spurs were beating them. Pete and Darius discuss the game, the strategies that worked and then didn't later on, and whether they think the group is on the right track or not on both sides of the ball and with their lineup decisions.

The Lakers will return to action against the Spurs on Monday night, the first game back after the L.A. wildfires postponed the team's two previous games. Pete and Darius return by zooming out to discuss the team's re-entry into gameplay and how Jarred Vanderbilt's progress towards a return fits into the coaching staff's shift towards playing more small-ball lineups. And then later the guys reminisce about Michael Cooper's career as the Lakers prepare to retire his jersey.
