“Great commentary and the guys are always knowledgeable of the team while providing honest and detailed discussion. Been listening for years and will continue too! A regular must listen for ALL Lakers fans.”

“MC pod was excellent really enjoyed the discussion
Prefacing this by saying I’m higher on Max than most, but imo the backcourt of Dlo/AR needs to be broken up, it’s just not capable enough defensively against elite teams. You guys talked about how great Max looks next to Vando and AD and it...”Read full review »

“Hey, Guys!
Really like the show. It’s the best at helping fans actually understand the game itself, and I really appreciate that. Now that neither of you is with the Lakers, I look forward to more opinions of yours.
And speaking of opinions, Jovan Buha had a story in the Athletic about how...”Read full review »

“I’d like to say I’ve given a majority of Lakers podcasts a try, and have been listening to LFR for 3+ years now. I don’t think you can find one that’s as objective while also being completely subjective.
Pete and Darius each are lifelong fans, but also students of the game with deep knowledge,...”Read full review »

“My only complaint is that he can start to ramble on for long periods. I find myself having to stop the pod and come back to listen at a later time cause I can’t stand it.”

“Been listening from the UK for years and it’s an excellent show. Good honest takes from very knowledgeable people.
It’s a shame Pete had to choose between The Lakers and the Pod but glad we get to keep him.”

“Hey guys….is it wearing on Jeannie Buss that this team seems to be not competitive like a Laker franchise should be ? Also actually how much longer is she going to employ Pelinka who doesn’t seem to be good at his job ? Something needs to be done. Thanks , MGEEZRAIDERZ (Laker fan since 1980)”

“Been listening to the pod before Pete got the Lakers job, and now that he’s back, will you be doing more deep dive film reviews on Youtube? I hope you do.
As for the pod, do you think with AD’s level of play in Team USA that he do need a Bruising Big partner on the team? Or with how the team is...”Read full review »

Question - how would You characterize the organizational cultures under Jerry Buss (and Jerry West), Jim Buss, then Jeannie/Rob? I feel like...”Read full review »

“If a package of Rui, Gabe, JHS, DLo & Cam (opt ins) nets you Lavine/AC or Dejounte Murray/Kuz with the difference being 1 pick & maybe seconds for the former vs all 3 picks and likely pick swap for the latter. Which would you do? I understand concerns about Lavine contract but also...”Read full review »

“How does a playoff caliber team always skip quarters and passively let leads disappear? If Ham can't motivate them then why is he the coach? And if Pelinka letsoooooooooooo guys go who epitomize a start-to-finish cultuooooore like Caruso while trading for a me- first guys like Westbrook...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a faithful listener for three years, and a Laker fan since seeing Magic and Kareem battled Dr. J and the Sixers for the 1980 Chip. These days I’m living in Colorado, so LFR is my life-line to stay connected to the purple and gold.
Clear breakdowns of strategy, line ups and roster...”Read full review »

“Incredible podcast. The best in-depth analysis you will find on the NBA. Your analysis of the non-AD minutes in the first two games points to a serious weakness in the coaching staff. Darvin doesn't have the same physical superiority Frank Vogel enjoyed during the championship run. If he...”Read full review »
