[picappgallerysingle id=”8483462″] This was a game that I’ve seen many times before (well not exactly like this, we’ll get to that in a second). The Lakers, for all their strengths, still have numerous faults and those bad traits came back to hurt them today. You combine that with the fact that the other team employs […]

Lakers/Timberwolves: Sometimes Talent Is Enough
[picappgallerysingle id=”8299217″] Coming into the game it was obvious that the Lakers had too much talent for the Timberwolves to handle over the course of an entire game. Which, for a Lakers team that hasn’t put together a complete 48 minutes in some time, was the perfect combination of factors that led to this uninspiring […]

The Good, The Bad, and The God-Awful Final Possession
(Note: Sorry for the sound delay and lack of sound in the videos that are not even embedded in this post. I had some extreme technical difficulties with both my personal and work computer, and due to time restraints, I was forced to leave them as they are in their current state. I’ll work on […]
Lakers/Nuggets: A Missed Opportunity
[picappgallerysingle id=”8042538″] If this game could be explained in two words they would be the ones that are in the title of this post: missed opportunity. On a night where Kobe or Bynum didn’t play, the Lakers still had a lead in the final five minutes and couldn’t close out the game. Instead, Denver seized […]

Fast Break Thoughts
No morning links from Phillip today, he’s resting up from dunking over people in his men’s league. At least that’s what he told me. So, you only get my random musings… *I know it’s been a few days, but congratulations to Duke for winning the NCAA Championship. I’ve never really been a fan of the Blue […]
Laker For Life
[picappgallerysingle id=”8269024″] Earlier today, Phillip put together a great post on what it’s been like following Kobe Bryant’s career with the Lakers. And while I think he summed up many of the feelings and experiences that a lot of Lakers fans have had, the first point that he made is the one that should be repeated over and over again – us […]
