Lakers/Bucks: 4th Quarter Surge Stops The Bucks
After two consecutive losses one had to figure that the Lakers would enter Milwaukee ready to play and looking to end their losing ways. Mission accomplished. The Lakers have officially bounced back after taking down the Bucks 118-107 to improve their record to nine up, two down on the season. But in the first half […]

Lakers/Suns: Spectacular Shooting Sinks The Lakers
In basketball, they say you live by the three and you die by the three. Well, tonight the Suns lived like rich kings in massive castles constructed on the strength of their hot shooting. They literally could not miss from distance for much of the night and it all led to the Lakers second consecutive […]
Saturday Special: Let Shannon Shoot
Early on this season I don’t think there’s been a bigger (and welcomed) surprise than the improved play of Shannon Brown. The man who’s been best known for his high flying exploits has returned this season with a more well rounded game that’s been a major factor in the Lakers’ improved bench play this year. […]
Not Looking Too Closely At A Loss
In a way, every game lost is meaningful. There are the smaller factors that make up a loss that we all want to analyze; that we want to find trends in. The finer points of the game that need to be explored when looking at the team and figuring out what trajectory it’s on. Even as a big […]

Lakers/Timberwolves: That Still Counts As A Win, Right?
[picappgallerysingle id=”10171381″] If I spent as much time writing this recap as the Lakers spent playing good basketball against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, it would last about three more sentences. However, since you demand more of me than that, I will give this my all. In a contest that was as strange to watch […]

Lakers/Trailblazers: Calling It Domination Doesn’t Do It Justice
When a team as talented as the Lakers decides they’re going to execute at a high level on both sides of the ball by playing focussed, inspired, and with determination there are few teams that can beat them (maybe not a single one, actually). The Blazers were no exception as they got outclassed by the […]
