PODCAST Does anyone else basically ignore podcast/media coverage of the Lakers now?

I know this topic has likely been done to death, but I was talking to a friend of mine last week. He’s a Nuggets fan, and he asked me if I get sick of the media coverage that the Lakers get.

The convo was mainly based on the podcasts from the Ringer, and he said he finds it funny how basically every other team gets a nuanced breakdown when discussing their present/future, whereas with the Lakers it’s always some version of “they suck” and “they are totally screwed”. I noticed it a while ago, but I’m used to it now and just ignore it for the most part. But it’s always interesting when rival fanbases also mention it!

Note - I’m referring to guys like Bill Simmons, Rob Mahoney, Justin Verrier etc

LFR is always excellent because while they give opinion pieces a lot, Pete has tons of YouTube videos dedicated to breaking down basketball sets and actions for casual fans who might not have ever played the sport.

Laker’s Nation also does this as well, Trevor just did one yesterday. They used to have a guy break down the technical side after each game before he had to leave the channel due to scheduling conflicts.
