I’m not going to bore you here with another standard Lakers game preview. The Lakers are 4-6 and the narrative is there’s trouble brewing. Be it the Luke Walton/Magic Johnson dynamic, the roster construction, LeBron playing at half speed and what that means, or whatever other idea you want to throw out there, it seems […]
The Leap Forward to the Same Spot
There’s a Jay-Z rap lyric I’ve always liked a lot. The Brooklyn born husband to Beyoncé says, simply, “life’s like a treadmill n***** runnin’ in place”. For me, at least, it’s a line about the search for progress and the want for more, but not actually getting it. It’s also about people’s perceptions of how […]
10 Lakers Stats through 10 Games
The Lakers got waxed by the Raptors on Sunday night, losing 121-107. The game actually wasn’t even that close — Toronto jumped ahead 41-10 early in the game and ended up with a 42-17 lead at the end of the first quarter. After losing a couple of games in the final 5 minutes this season, […]
Lakers Rumors: Tyson Chandler to Sign with Lakers after Buyout
When the Lakers constructed the roster they did, they knew they were creating a wing heavy team; a team whose strengths would be playmaking, passing, and versatility. They knew they were going to be big man deficient, but likely believed going small, playing a swarming and active defense, and playing fast would compensate for their […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Portland Trailblazers
The Lakers are 3-5 and depending on what perspective you carry, this is either very upsetting, about where they should be, or maybe somewhere in the middle. Based on the Lakers point differential, they should have one more win than they do (hello Minnesota loss) and if you’re looking for a bright side, they’ve been […]
Lakers Need Patience Now More than Ever
After a 124-120 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers are now 2-5. I won’t spend much time on the game, but like I told you in my game preview, I was concerned about the team’s defense and rebounding while hopeful the team would be able to shoot the 3 ball well enough to keep […]
Lakers Game Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves
I’m back. Well, kind of. But while I’m here, I have some Lakers thoughts and it just so happens there’s a game today so here we go… The Lakers are 2-4 and head into Minnesota to face off against one of the only teams that can lay claim to being more of an off-season headline […]
Some Site News…
If you do not follow me on twitter or did not read and click through the links on my game preview from Thursday’s opening night game, you may not be aware of some things that have been going on with me personally. So I thought I’d just post on there here for everyone while also […]
Lakers Game Preview: Season Opener vs. the Blazers
First off, my apologies for the lack of posts. I’ve written about this some on twitter, but my family has been dealing with a serious health situation that has been a truly difficult time for me personally. I’ve not been able to write much, if at all, during the past few weeks and that’s impacted […]
Lakers vs. Kings: Preseason Game #3
After the losing to the Nuggets on Tuesday to fall to 0-2 in the preseason, the Lakers are back in action tonight vs. the Kings. The game is at 7:30, on NBA TV nationally, and at STAPLES Center. With the logistics out of the way, let’s get to the meat of the matter. The Lakers […]
