Kareem vs. Bruce Lee: The guys at NBA Fanhouse have been mining Youtube and found a classic. Dare we say “winning streak? Here are the next five Laker games — Minnesota, Memphis, New Orleans, Golden State, Memphis. All winable, and a chance to get their confidence back heading toward the playoffs. Last meeting. These two […]

Our Kevin Garnett Offer
As I said before, this blog entered a hypothetical bidding war with the Celtics and the Bulls for the rights to KG. This was really a group effort, my original proposal changed dramatically after reading at your comments, seeing your votes and thinking of how to make a proposal work. I put the proposal in […]
65 To Enjoy
Kobe had the kind of performance you just need to sit back and watch a few times.
Preview & Chat: The Portland Trailblazers
Light at the end of the tunnel. The first quarter last night, when the “these were the guys we are supposed to have out there†starters were in the game, the Laker offense looked like a triangle again. Guys were moving without the ball, Kobe was drawing the double team then dishing (and guys actually […]
Preview and Chat: The Denver Nuggets
Hard drive crashes suck I had a preview ready to go for tonight’s matchup, complete with numbers and some analysis that I thought was pretty good, but it now lives in a limbo land (the same with the final on the KG trade ideas, but that will be up later tonight). Anyway, what the story […]
The Big Dance (oh, and a couple Laker notes)
Why waste time — who do you have in your Final Four? I’ve got Florida, Kansas, Georgetown and Texas A&M, with Kansas beating A&M in the finals. There is no shortage of information on college teams out on the Web, but if you want some of the stats I use here to help with your […]
The Kevin Garnett Blogger Derby
What would, or should, the Lakers offer to get KG? It’s a question the Lakers could face this summer, because it’s not hard to see Garnett finally going to management and asking out. I still doubt he does it, but it could happen. So, what would you give up? I’m asking because this blog has […]
Preview & Chat: The Dallas Mavericks
Lakers are back home. Since the team on the court has been hard to watch of late, maybe we should just focus on the top 10 Laker fans in the crowd. It was the best of times. Back in January, the Lakers played maybe their best game of the season, going on a late 10-4 […]
Short Term Fixes
The Lakers need a rainout. But since even Crash Davis can’t get the Lakers one, the team is looking at a couple other ideas, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Sherridan (insider). Let’s take a quick look at them. One, starting Kwame over Bynum. “Andrew didn’t get anything accomplished out there tonight,” Jackson said. “Andrew needs to […]
Preview & Chat: The Philadelphia 76ers
The Kobe question. With the roster around him depleted and inconsistent, how long does he continue to show the trust in his teammates as he has all season? How long before he reverts to last season’s Kobe just to win games? I don’t really have an answer for that, but Phil Jackson has said Kobe […]
