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!
