Well, when it rains, it pours for the Lakers. Steve Nash has been hurt. Jordan Farmar is out for a few more weeks with a torn hamstring. That left Steve Blake as the only legitimate healthy point guard for the Lakers. Let’s make that zero. Here’s the official Lakers Twitter account. Injury Update. Steve Blake […]
Lakers/Blazers: Comeback Falls Short Even With Henry’s Career-High
That was quite the fun game. But in the end, the Blazers became the #1 team in the West (technically, since they beat the Spurs earlier this season) after beating the Lakers, 114-108. The Lakers have been resilient for most of the season and they showed that in this game. L.A. was down, 21-4, at […]
Lakers/Pistons: Jordan Hill Shows Endless Motor Against Motor City
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? The Lakers got their fifth win of the season in a fun Sunday night game against the Detroit Pistons (well, not so fun for Detroit), 114-99. I felt Steve Blake set the tone early with his floor game. He had eight assists in the first period alone setting up […]
Lakers/Nuggets: Back-To-Backs Are Not Very Kind
The Lakers fell to the Nuggets, 111-99, after blowing out the Pelicans last night. They are now 0-3 on the second game of a back-to-back. After a quick 8-0 start by the Lakers, it showed that the Lakers were on the tail end of a back-to-back. They looked tired in the first half; it was […]
Lakers/Pelicans: Trouble At The Finish
The final score didn’t indicate how close the game was throughout. The Pelicans beat the Lakers, 96-85. The overall game was pretty tough to watch; both teams weren’t shooting very well (Lakers shot under 39 percent). But the game never got away from either team until the last few minutes. The Pelicans were only leading […]
Lakers/Clippers: Opening Day Stunner
Guys, I can’t comprehend this. And this is Opening Day! Mostly picked by people (including me) to not make the postseason, the Los Angeles Lakers stunned one of the West favorites, the Los Angeles Clippers, 116-103. It was already strange for me that the Lakers kept up with the Clippers in the first three quarters. […]
Laker Games We’re Looking Forward To For The 2013-14 Season
So the NBA schedule came out a couple of days ago. That’s great news. Of course, the bad news is that the NBA season doesn’t start until late October. The Los Angeles Lakers schedule seems a little different than years past. They have 19 back-to-back games, which is a bit higher than what they’re used […]

Lakers Lose In Summer League Quarterfinal Against Warriors
The Lakers played one hell of a Summer League game against the Warriors that got the crowd poppin’. Still, the Lakers fell short, 83-77, after the Warriors’ Kent Bazemore went off for 26 points. The Lakers played really well in the second quarter, possibly their best in Summer League. But they fell apart in the […]

The former New Jersey Net was a late cut by the Lakers before last year’s regular season started. Douglas-Roberts assessed his performance this summer so far. “I had a slow start.
