Podcast: Voice of the Nation – Episode #72

It’s been 217 games since the Lakers have had a 3 game losing streak. With a loss to the Magic, that streak is no longer. The fellaz dissect this team, and discuss if the Lakers poor play is simply a bad stretch, or something internal that has the Lakers off their A game.

The Lakers held a meeting to clear the air, and Kobe spoke up, Bynum says the team is angry at each other, Phil says Pau looks sickly, and J.R. Smith is going at Kobe again via Twitter.

The guys are not buying Lebron’s respect for Michael Jordan, and Dan Patrick asks Kobe if its possible that he opts out this summer.

Podcast: Voice of the Nation – Episode #67

The Lakers got back Ron Artest, but a hamstring puts Pau Gasol on the injured list. Last time Pau was day-to-day he was out for 11 games. But that’s not really a problem when Lamar has a darn near triple double in his absence, as the Lakers beat the Rockets on Tuesday night to improve to 28-6 on the season.

This was suppose to be the season where Kobe was going to average 25 per game, and be more of a facilitator. No, sir! He currently is the NBA’s leading scorer, and with his three historic buzzer beaters in a month, one can argue that this is the best year of his career. No one can argue that any player is playing better 34 games in then the Black Mamba.

Also, the question of who is the number #1 Laker fan has got to an absolute extreme as listeners are throwing punches in the voicemail inbox. The listener crowned as the #1 Lakers fan will have to fight long and hard for the title!

The Lakers are rollin’, just like the fellas, the world renowned Voice of the Nation is ready for you to enjoy, so go and get it!
