[picappgallerysingle id=”8137339″] The Lakers and the Nuggets simply don’t like each other. You see it on the court and you hear it in the quotes from the players both before and after the games. So, when these two teams play a nationally televised game on a Sunday afternoon, you’re bound to see an intense battle […]

Saturday Special: Prepping for Denver
The game preview will be up later, but in the meantime this video from LD2k (who is simply the best – check him out) got me excited. Sure it’s an intro to last years WCF. So what? It got me in the mood anyway. Enjoy. And let’s get ready for a big game tomorrow.
Lakers/76ers: The Tortoise & The Hare
[picappgallerysingle id=”8117414″] We all know the old fable of the tortoise vs. the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. Against the Sixers, the Lakers definitely looked slow. And while they weren’t that steady, they were stable enough to pull out a win against a game opponent. And for that, they deserve some credit. But […]

Around The World (Wide Web): Defense, Wild Animals
The Lakers had Thursday off after back-to-back road games to help their bodies rest for tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers which means that there isn’t really much Lakers’ news for this morning. However, Los Angeles Times Mark Medina had an early morning post about how the Lakers’ defense has suffered since the return of […]
Tough Man To Catch Up To
After last night’s loss to the Mavs, I think most Lakers fans could use a small pick me up. And nothing does that for me better than a good laugh. Two of the guys that always do that for me (while also providing some excellent hoops knowledge) are the dynamic duo of Tas Melas and […]
Around The World (Wide Web): Lakers/Mavs Reactions, Jerry West
For most of the season, the Lakers have played some of their best basketball coming out of the half, extending leads they already had or taking leads from opponents. That wasn’t the case last night. Then again, this definitely wasn’t the first night that the Lakers struggled in the third – like they did in […]
Lakers/Mavericks: Terry & Dirk Demolish Lakers’ Defense
[picappgallerysingle id=”7540805″] In what was a tight, back and forth game for most of the evening, the Lakers just didn’t have enough in reserve to pull out a game that was there for the taking. All credit should go to Dallas who played well on both ends of the floor, rebounded the ball with effort […]
