FB&G continues is player reviews for this past season with Luke Walton. For a link to Luke’s exit interview, check out Phillip’s post from right after the season concluded. SEASON IN REVIEW: By any measure, Luke Walton had a disappointing season. He suffered through a campaign marred by injuries and – when healthy – inconsistent minutes that […]
Lakers Continue To Fill Needs
Coming into this off-season the Lakers had a shopping list of needs to fill. It sounds strange to say this about a team that just won its second consecutive championship, but it was true. The team had 6 free agents at every position on its roster that it could potentially lose and while the Lakers have (rightfully so) been considered […]
Money & Minutes, They Still Matter
We’re in the dog days of Summer and the Lakers roster is not yet full. Rarely will a championship squad have a camp invite make its team, so at some point in the next few weeks we can expect the Lakers to add the additional pieces to fill out the roster that it will take […]
How Are Teams Coming Together?
The draft is long past. Free agency is nearly a month old. Summer league has just ended. Andwhile we’re still nearly 2 months away from the start of training camp, most teams are nearly completely built withonly a few moves aroundthe edges yet to be completed. So, I figure now is as good a time as any […]
Sunday Special: It’s The Little Things
If I wanted to, I could probably go to YouTube every day and find a different Kobe Bryant video to link to or put up in a post. He’s an easy player to celebrate as he’s given fans so many memorable moments over the years. Whether it’s the game winners, the high scoring games, or […]
More Mailbag!
Since I had so much fun answering the last set of questions that came in, here are a few more that were collecting dust in my inbox that I’ll drop my two cents on. Again, if you’d like to send in a question (or more) for a future installment of the mailbag, click here and […]
We’re Back Up & Running
Yesterday afternoon and through this morning FB&G had some server issues that disrupted the site, leaving the site down for that time period. My sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused to all of you looking to talk Lakers with us. This issue is now resolved and we will continue putting up posts […]
With Fisher Back In The Fold, What’s Next?
To be honest, I was never really concerned with Derek Fisher leaving the Lakers. The Lakers were the team that could offer him the best situation – the most money (if needed), the leadership role, the offense that maximizes his skill set, and the coaches/teammates that he was comfortable interacting with. Really, no other team […]
Around The World (Wide Web): The Return Of The Fisher King
Yes, indeed. Welcome back, Mr. Fisher. Kobe wouldn’t have had it any other way. Andy Kamenetzky, Land O’ Lakers: “Then again, these issues have proven a small trade-off for an uncanny ability to hit shots requiring huevos grande. I mean, big ol’ onions. Dude’s as clutch as players come, and until we see him turn […]
Point Of No Return
It’s now official: Jordan Farmar is no longer a Laker but instead is a member of the New Jersey Nets. Last night he inked a 3 year/$12 million dollar contract to play point guard with the team in Jersey. So, what looked to be a sure bet after his exit interview and at the beginning […]
