What I’ve Been Doing While Kobe Has Been Loafing
First, things first: I enjoyed the Lakers win in Portland as much or more than any Lakers fan. It was kind of cathartic. And because of the circumstances for that win, I am now on the bandwagon for having Kobe as the sixth man, coming in off the bench. What do you want in a […]
Sunday Special: Let’s Talk Super Bowl
[picappgallerysingle id=”7809657″] It’s an off day for the Lakers and I’m sure like many other sports fans around the country a lot of our guys are watching the big game with their family and friends. And I’m sure they’ll enjoy the game a bit more after last night’s win. So before we move on to […]

What is Wrong with the Lakers’ Offense?
[picappgallerysingle id=”7591140″] There is no denying the fact that, so far this season, the Lakers offense has underperformed. The Lakers only recently cracked the top 10 in offensive efficiency and that only came after strong offensive performances against weak defensive teams like the Knicks, Wizards, and Pacers. This is in direct contrast to the […]
Lakers/Bobcats: Where Winning Ugly Happens
[picappgallerysingle id=”7589584″] On a night where Kobe didn’t even have his ‘B’ game the Lakers still won. On a night where they rolled around in the mud with the Charlotte Bobcats for four quarters, the Lakers came out on top. And, on a night where Pau started 3 for 9 and our back up guards […]
