Summary: What's more entertaining than an offseason podcast from the Kamenetzky Brothers? The second round of the playoffs, which have been awesome so far! But besides that, dare I say, "nothing." And with that truth now established, here is a list of talking points for the newest show: * How to put the Bernie Bickerstaff era in perspective (http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9249295/sources-los-angeles-lakers-dismiss-bernie-bickerstaff-chuck-person)? We look back at "Weekend at Bernie's," along with the less successful tenure for another member of the coaching staff. * Mike D'Antoni's job appears safe, but if the front office replaced Pringles with an untested (but potentially great) commodity (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/57826/whos-ready-to-be-an-nba-head-coach), would fans accept it? More importantly, would the franchise even be open to such an approach? * Does Vinny Del Negro stand any chance at being retained by the Clippers? * As someone who still has some childhood items in our parents' basement and once during high school was mobbed by an adoring public, I can totally relate to the weird lawsuit between Kobe Bryant and his mom over Mambaorabilia (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/kobe-bryant-involved-lawsuit-mom-over-planned-auction-194941552.html). * ESPN The Magazine's Sam Alipour enlisted a bunch of Hollywood writers to script a fictitious movie about Kobe's life. (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/Mag15kobethemovie/hollywood-talent-writes-movie-kobe-bryant-life-espn-magazine)With that in mind, we debate potential candidates to direct a fictitious movie about the Lakers' 2012-2013 season. * What's the best say to say "I'm sorry" for shooting your wife with a harpoon?
