824 Purple & Gold

Good evening Laker fans! Welcome to the 2020-2021 NBA season with our beloved Lakers squad, the 17x world champs! Tonight, the Lakers lose to their "cross-town" rivals, the Clippers in a very anticlimactic opening night game in which the score was 116-109. The Lakers overall seemed uninterested in winning this game as they have had the shortest off-season in professional sports history. Hope you all enjoy the listen! 

I am back! In this episode I will discuss briefly why I took a hiatus from the podcast. I am back for good, and I am looking forward to recording my thoughts on the Lakers this season to share with all of you. I will also recap the 2020 playoffs in which the Lakers became world champions once again, and a overview of the brilliant offseason moves that GM Rob Pelinka has pulled off (so far) recently. Hope you enjoy, like, rate and subscribe!

Lakers fall to the young Grizzlies with the score of 105-88. The Lakers fall to a record of 45-13. Just an overall low energy game by the Lakers and all of their players.

A pretty bad win in my opinion, but it is a win nonetheless.  Hopefully you enjoy!

Unscripted first episode of this podcast. Really just talking about how Kobe's tragic death has motivated me to get started on this project and really the state of LakersNation during this whole week. The time of recording this episode is right after the Portland Trailblazer game on 01/31/2020
