Since last night’s game is not worth discussing on any level, and others already are doing a great job finding the video evidence to question the Kobe suspension, I figured this was a good time to look ahead a little and see who the people who follow this stuff have the Lakers taking in the […]

No Kobe, the Milwaukee Bucks and Frustration
Tonight could get ugly — Kobe has been suspended for tonight’s game by the league for the play on Jaric. While we could well argue that the league should just allow people to hit Jaric (Clipper fans will back that up), there was little doubt this was going to come down today. This play was […]
Preview & Chat: The Minnesota Timberwolves
What’s up with Luke? Turns out he has tendonitis in his ankle. In a radio interview this morning (one that was a classic example of why it is hard to listen to sports talk radio in LA) he said he was relieved by the diagnosis because it could have been worse. Don’t expect him back […]
Fast Break Thoughts
Lots of notes and random thoughts in a grab bag today: • We learn the fate of Lamar Odom today, and there will be an update here as soon as word comes down. That said, I’m not optimistic, and neither is the Will Carroll, who made a comment here: Unfortunately, I don’t have the same […]

Who gets the playing time with Odom out? Odom is out for at least this four game road trip, so who gets the minutes? It will depend on the matchups, but with Cook the only healthy four (and he plays more like a three) I would expect Phil to try to go small more, maybe […]
Add Odom To The List
After finally having two games in a row where he started to look comfortable, Lamar Odom is going to be out for a while, he has torn the labrum in his left shoulder. This is the same shoulder he had surgery on in 2005 and missed the last couple months of the season. How long […]
Preview & Chat: The Sacramento Kings
Pat Riley circa 1988. Gatinho found a great You Tube clip of Chick Hearn interviewing Pat Riley at halftime of a Lakers game (against the Spurs, the Lakers are up by 5). Topics include that “crazy†contract David Robinson just got ($26 million over 10 years), Bill Sharmen, the emergence of one AC Green and […]
The Forgotten Basketball Movie
While watching Jesus Shuttlesworth play the Clippers last night, and thinking about his movie career, it dawned on me that one hoops movie I always enjoyed I haven’t seen in a very long time: Blue Chips. For those yet to catch this melodrama (it’s a preachy film) the plot is pretty simple: Nick Nolte is […]
