Saturday Special: Let Shannon Shoot
Early on this season I don’t think there’s been a bigger (and welcomed) surprise than the improved play of Shannon Brown. The man who’s been best known for his high flying exploits has returned this season with a more well rounded game that’s been a major factor in the Lakers’ improved bench play this year. […]
Not Looking Too Closely At A Loss
In a way, every game lost is meaningful. There are the smaller factors that make up a loss that we all want to analyze; that we want to find trends in. The finer points of the game that need to be explored when looking at the team and figuring out what trajectory it’s on. Even as a big […]
Around the World (Wide Web): Lakers/Nuggets Reactions
(Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images) From Kevin Ding, OC Register: You might mistakenly believe that the notable “first” to come out of the Lakers’ game Thursday night was their first loss of the season.

Fast Break Thoughts
*As most of you noticed, Kurt took this morning’s post and shared some insight on how Forum Blue and Gold was started, how it has grown and a little on what it represents. Today is the website’s sixth birthday and the website couldn’t have been started by a better guy. Even though he has the […]
Forum Blue & Gold’s sixth birthday, but please don’t sing
[picappgallerysingle id=”10129710″] Six years ago this morning, I clicked on a little button that said publish and started a blog with this sentence: Welcome to my attempt at keeping personal sanity in the midst of the swirling vortex of controversy that is the Lakers. As I remember, 25 people read it, and they all found […]
Lakers/Timberwolves: That Still Counts As A Win, Right?
[picappgallerysingle id=”10171381″] If I spent as much time writing this recap as the Lakers spent playing good basketball against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, it would last about three more sentences. However, since you demand more of me than that, I will give this my all. In a contest that was as strange to watch […]
