The Lakers continue their Southern California tour as they face off against the Warriors tonight in sunny San Diego. At least I assume it’s sunny. Isn’t it always? Anyways, the Lakers look to erase their two game losing streak against a division foe that, for better or worse, is a team in transition. The Warriors […]

Thoughts On Lakers/Jazz, Part Deux
Hoping does not make it so. You see, I was hoping that after the Lakers struggled to score (save for a Kobe explosion and Pau being Pau) on Sunday, that the Lakers would come out in Tuesday’s game with more focus and a dedication to executing the Triangle. I was hoping that shots would start […]

Neil Paine (with an assist from some guy named Darius), Basketball-Reference: With the additions of Steve Blake and Matt Barnes, the Lakers have filled their two biggest holes from last season (floor general for the 2nd unit and a back up SF) and combined them with a group that is still hungry for titles. And […]
Preseason Lakers vs. Jazz: Preview & Chat
Kobe hopes to continue his hot shooting from Sunday tonight against the Jazz. Tonight, the Lakers look for revenge as they play the Jazz for the second time in 3 days. After losing in the “championship” of the Lakers Shootout, the Lakers will try to play better (especially on defense) and get the win […]

From Brian Kamenetzky, Land O’ Lakers: Given the Lakers and media were together in a room only 12 hours earlier, that Monday’s post practice chat session was relatively brief wasn’t a surprise. Kobe Bryant, not surprisingly a non-participant in today’s practice (instead opting for strength work and treatment for his surgically repaired right knee) didn’t […]
Thoughts on Lakers/Jazz
Is Phil’s telling Pau that he needs more? If so, last night, Pau gave it to him… The Lakers are looking better by the game even if the wins aren’t coming with the improved performance. So while it’d be a lot easier to say that this team is right on track if the results were […]

Lakers v. Nuggets From Brian Kamenetzky, Land O’ Lakers (with post-game interviews here): Everything about Kobe’s recovery from offseason knee surgery has looked pretty good. He’s played in every preseason game, not always with a sleeve, has moved freely, gone into the post, cut off screens, and generally looked like a guy feeling pretty good […]
Lakers vs. Jazz Preview & Chat, Nuggets Thoughts
The Lakers pre-season schedule is full swing now and with the Shootout format of four teams (Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Nuggets) playing a two games each in two days, the Lakers will finish off their weekend with a game against the Jazz tonight. But before we get to that match up, a few thoughts on Saturday’s […]
Preseason Lakers vs. Nuggets: Preview & Chat
[picappgallerysingle id=”7816570″] Through three exhibition games, it’s mostly been all quiet on the western front for the Lakers. Sure, there’s the whole issue of offensive/defensive continuity, Bynum’s wavering injury status, Kobe’s continuing rehab, the integration of five new players and the expected post-championship malaise. Wednesday night’s promising 98-95 win against the Kings showed that the […]
Fast Break Thoughts
Going around the league as the Lakers’ exhibition schedule starts to ramp up… *The big news around the league right now is the strict enforcement of the new technical foul rules. Whether it’s Grant Hill and Reggie Evans exchanging pleasantries or KG sticking up for Jermaine O’Neal, players are definitely feeling the effects of quicker […]
