[picappgallerysingle id=”7001948″] The regular season is no more. And sure, fans, media, even the players and coaches aren’t thrilled with how the season transpired (and especially with how it ended). But, with where we stand now that doesn’t really matter. I believe there is an old saying about water under bridges and another about spilled milk that apply right now. […]

It Could Be an Interesting Road For The Lakers
With the finale of the very last game of the season, Phoenix/Utah, the Western Conference playoff bracket was finally set. With the Suns win over Utah, it moves them into the number 3 slot, creating an interesting road for the Lakers to the Finals – something that I was ultimately hoping for. In the Lakers […]
Lakers/Clippers: Sasha Rolls Ankle, Clips Just Roll
[picappgallerysingle id=”7626748″] Coming into this game, with the playoff seedings pretty much set and the Lakers knowing who they’d face in the first round (and that they wouldn’t catch Orlando for the league’s 2nd best record), I think the only thing that all Lakers fans were hoping for was an injury free game. Well, they […]

Around the World (Wide Web): Congo Cash Goes Blonde
You can’t tell me that Ron Artest hasn’t placed his stamp on this team. THE BLOGS From Silver Screen and Roll: The only thing I was really hoping to write in regard to tonight’s Lakers game, a 106 to 100 mercy-killing of the Sacramento Kings, is that no one got hurt. Was that really too much […]
Lakers/Kings: Shannon & Sasha Steal The Show
[picappgallerysingle id=”8423498″] Coming into this game, we all knew that the outcome didn’t count towards anything and that it may affect the intensity level of the players. So, in a game that felt like a scrimmage, it’s only appropriate that two of the Lakers back up players stepped up their games. Pau Gasol may have […]
Preview and Chat: The Sacramento Kings
[picappgallerysingle id=”8269041″] Records: Lakers 56-24 (1st in West, 3rd in NBA), Kings 25-56 (14th in West) Offensive ratings: Lakers 108.8 (11th in NBA), Kings 105.3 (22nd in NBA) Defensive ratings: Lakers 103.5 (5th in NBA), Kings 109.8 (20th in NBA) Projected Starting Lineups: Lakers: Derek Fisher, Shannon Brown, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol Kings: Tyreke […]
Around the World (Wide Web): Lakers Get Thunder First
Well, we know who the Lakers will have in the first round of the playoffs. The Portland Trailblazers, even without Brandon Roy, were able to take care of the Oklahoma City Thunder, creating a Lakers/Thunder first round match up. Much has been said about the Lakers struggles down the stretch, but since the Thunder dismantled […]
No Rest For The Weary
[picappgallerysingle id=”3836017″] As we look at the calendar, the Lakers likely have six more days until their first playoff game. While the schedules have not been released and no one knows for sure when the Lakers will play, I would bet that a Sunday matinee – where the league gets its most exposure – ends up […]
Around the World (Wide Web): That Last Minute…
I spent the better part of my day yesterday on the road back from San Francisco, so I ended up missing the game live. While compiling some of these links and after reading Darius’ post, I had to put in the tape and watch the fourth quarter. As of right now, I still haven’t seen […]
