I haven’t watched the recording of the game against the Bobcats yet, so here are some thoughts from some commenters: I only saw the 2nd half tonite, but I did like what I saw about both the offense and the switching defense. I realize I can’t take the preseason games too seriously, but I do […]

Lakers vs. Bobcats Preseason
A new thread for the first of two preseason games in two nights at Staples. The Bobcats are playing Wallace (30 min a game) and Richardson (26 min a game) a lot in the preseason, clearly trying to get them used to playing together. Should be a good defensive test for the Lakers.
Bakersfield Thoughts
Lots of thoughts out of last night’s Lakers win in Bakersfield, both from myself and many of you in the comments. So here’s a mix of thoughts from last night. (If you want to read more about the Kobe/Buss/Jackson saga, Mark Heisler from the LA Times actually emailed a blogger with his thoughts, and they […]
And Now For Something Completely Different — A Game
Today we are taking a break from the “Bryant/Jackson/Buss Full Employment For Sports Columnists Act of 2007†to watch some honest to goodness basketball. (If you can’t get enough Kobe saga — or just want an insightful look at the drama in the front office — read the latest from Roland Lazenby over at True […]
Looking Past The Distractions
Man, this could be a long year for Lakers fans. Especially if Tuesday was any indication, where rumors about what was in Kobe’s locker became a mini-Chernobyl in Lakerland. The question I have is can this Lakers team look past the ongoing media distraction and still succeed on the court? Some teams rally around each […]

Bynum’s Turn?
It’s no bit news that one of the keys to the Lakers improving this year is better play out of the center spot. And most Laker fans would wish for Andrew Bynum to be the guy takes a big step forward, improves his game and takes charge of the position. But what we’ve seen through […]
Game two and other thoughts.
I tried to watch all of the Warriors/Lakers game two, but I fell asleep about the end of the third quarter. I don’t think this can be emphasized enough — don’t read much into these games. Kevin at Clipperblog said it well, “The lineups throughout the course of the game are like those David statue […]

Preseason Game 2: Will They Talk About Anything But Kobe?
It’s blown up all over — Jerry Buss sat down with reporters in Hawaii and said he’d consider trading Kobe. He doesn’t want to, but he’ll consider it. There are plenty of people saying this “dumped gasoline on the almost extinguished fire,†but if Buss had come out and said “we will never trade Kobe†[…]
