This is a longer episode, but trust us... you'll want to listen in. We brought on Coach Mark Tinklenberg for this special episode to discuss how the Lakers coaching staff led this team to the championship.

Then, on the second segment, we discuss how the coaching staff collectively made adjustments throughout the 2020 postseason to beat each team they faced. And finally, on the last segment, we talk offseason--from Serge Ibaka and Tristan Thompson, to rumors of Lakers players wanting raises (Kyle Kuzma, KCP, Rondo and Avery Bradley), to trade talks involving Russell Westbrook and Demar DeRozan.
