This week we kick off the 2025/2026 NBA season with a recap of the Lakers opening night home loss to the Golden State Warriors.

We also discuss the Lakers 1-5 preseason, the final game dress rehearsal, and how that may have led to the opening night loss.

Plus, what’s up next for the Lakers the rest of this opening week in the NBA.
