Talking Trades At The Deadline
Here we stand only a few hours from the trade deadline. However, the Lakers are not very likely to make any sort of deal. After all, they’ve won two consecutive games against quality teams with last night Kobe Bryant coming up big in the closing moments to the surprise of no one that was actually […]
Lakers/Blazers: Artest The Catalyst, Kobe The Closer
This win simply feels better than others. As I mentioned in the game preview, a home/road back to back in an arena that the Lakers have traditionally struggled in is a tough task and the fact that the Lakers were able to leave the Rose Garden with a 106-101 victory as Laker fans chanted MVP […]

Around The World (Wide Web)
Some quick hitting links today… At practice on Monday, Kobe essentially said it’s time for the Lakers to pick up the pace: “It’s a marathon. You see the finish line, you tend to pick up the speed a little bit.” Here’s hoping they make their push with a tough schedule to end the year. Something […]
In Game Of Stars, Kobe, Durant, & LeBron Shine Brightest
What a game. Kobe had it going early, Lebron had it going late, and Durant iced the contest in the end. In between those guys doing what they do best, Amar’e threw down a dunk nearly any time he was within five feet of the hoop and was the East’s best big man for most […]
Preview and Chat: The All-Star Game
The big game is finally here. For one night it’s not about collective bargaining or who should have one the dunk contest or cheering the fact that both Celtics that made the three point contest final got beat by a role player. Actually, there’s always more time for that. There is a game to play […]
What Was Your Dunk Of The Night?
The fact that Blake Griffin was crowned dunk king 2011 is no surprise. Throwing down monstrous jams in front of hometown fans with viewers all over the world texting in votes to choose a winner almost ensured that he’d go home with the trophy. But, while Griffin even had a miss that brought the house […]
