[picappgallerysingle id=”10266996″] As it turns out, Darius lied about there not being a recap. Like Willis Reed limping out of the locker room in the Garden, I’m here to save the day (or ruin the day, from the Laker perspective?). Speaking of saving the day, the Lakers were kept afloat by Shannon Brown’s red hot […]

Around the World (Wide Web)
From Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports: Ask him what he embraces in his early 30s that he never understood in his 20s, and there’s no hesitation: It’s what everyone insisted he had been a failure with, a perception that he has transformed with two post-Shaquille O’Neal championships. “How to truly make players better, what that really […]

From Janis Carr, OC Register: Lakers fans don’t need much incentive to head to the exits early, and Sunday’s game against the Golden State Warriors did little to keep them in their seats for the entire 48 minutes.

Lakers/Warriors: Did We Really Need to Play the 4th Quarter?
(With Darius and Phillip having the night off, you’re stuck with me, Zephid, giving you your game recap) Well, I really drew the short stick when it comes to game recaps. To be completely honest, I mostly stopped watching after the 3rd quarter (I feel the same way about writing this recap as Stu Lantz […]

The first name that the Lakers were hot after was Raja Bell but he spurned the Lakers for a bigger contract with the […]
Lakers/Timberwolves: The Barnes Supremacy
Tonight, instead of writing the traditional game recap, I’m going to take a look at deconstructing tonight’s simple box score. I’m not taking a look at advanced statistics, just analyzing the Lakers 11th win with a look at the game’s purest statistics: points, rebounds, assists, turnovers and field goals. The game against the Timberwolves wasn’t […]
