If I were watching this game in a bar with my friends tonight, here’s what we would be betting on: Can the out-of-shape Vlade Divac make it through a game with the Phoenix Suns without losing his lunch? My guess is no, but I’m not sure the cameras will catch it. I enjoy watching the […]

On Tap: The Sacramento Kings
The best Laker line of the week comes from former Eagle/overrated solo artist Joe Walsh, who on his current tour, according to the LA Times Steve Harvey, has changed some of the lyrics to his best-known song, “Life’s Been Good To Me (So Far): I’ve got a limo Ride in the back I watch the […]
On Tap: The Seattle Supersonics
Note: This was supposed to post on Friday but apparently Blogger had other ideas. Here it is a day late, but be sure to read the Hoopsworld article linked in the first paragraph. First, Eric Pincus has started looking forward to the lottery and the rest of the off-season in his new article on Hoopsworld. […]
On Tap: The Houston Rockets
Is ESPN going to even show highlights from this game, or are they just going to show a picture of Phil Jackson and Jerry Buss sitting next to each other in a luxury box? So we can get this out of the way, this is my guess at the entire conversation those two will have […]

Ranking The Coaching Vacancies
It’s going to be a buyer’s market. Or a coach’s market. When the Lakers go searching for a coach this off-season there are going to be more good vacancies open than experienced, winning coaches available. Phil Jackson and Flip Saunders — as well as Larry Brown if he leaves Detroit (creating another tempting vacancy) — […]
Weekend Reading
I’m going to spend the weekend in front of a computer, but not working on this site as I am swamped with paying work. So, rather than a traditional game previews (it’s really pretty simple anyway, the only way the Lakers are going to win is to outscore their opponents) let me offer some suggested […]
Exclusive: Magic Johnson To Make Comeback
Legendary Laker Magic Johnson is making a comeback as a player for the rest of this season, Forumblueandgold.com has learned from a series of exclusive interviews at Staples Center last night. With the team struggling and attendance down, the proud organization is reaching into its past to help guide this team in the future. At […]
