[picappgallerysingle id=”8590378″] Holding on by a thread is still holding on.

Just like game 1, this second contest of the series wasn’t always pretty (in fact, the majority of this […]
Lakers/Thunder: Game 2 Preview and Chat
[picappgallerysingle id=”8567533″] One of my favorite things about the playoffs are the adjustments that teams make. The playoffs are like a drawn out chess match where coaches study the film, look at what both sides did to be successful, and then try to replicate that for their own team and put schemes into place to slow down […]
Fast Break Thoughts – Playoffs Edition
[picappgallerysingle id=”8567534″] Some random thoughts while you wait the day and a half until Game 2 tips off… *The other day, I mentioned that I love the playoffs.

Lakers/Thunder: Defense Carries The Day
[picappgallerysingle id=”8563647″] Winning ugly is still winning, so in the case of the 87-79 Lakers victory, I’m very happy.

Lakers/Thunder Preview: When the Lakers Have The Ball
[picappgallerysingle id=”8349075″] Putting the ball in the basket. It’s what this game is about.

Yesterday, we looked at the Thunder’s offense and some of the match ups that will play […]

The Playoffs Are Here – What I’d Like To See
[picappgallerysingle id=”7001948″] The regular season is no more. And sure, fans, media, even the players and coaches aren’t thrilled with how the season transpired (and especially with how it ended). But, with where we stand now that doesn’t really matter. I believe there is an old saying about water under bridges and another about spilled milk that apply right now. […]
Lakers/Clippers: Sasha Rolls Ankle, Clips Just Roll
[picappgallerysingle id=”7626748″] Coming into this game, with the playoff seedings pretty much set and the Lakers knowing who they’d face in the first round (and that they wouldn’t catch Orlando for the league’s 2nd best record), I think the only thing that all Lakers fans were hoping for was an injury free game. Well, they […]
