March Madness at Forum Blue and Gold
I must admit something right out of the gate – I haven’t been watching too much college hoops this year. I’ve caught the occasional John Wall highlight and I watched some of Evan Turner’s heroics against Michigan, but besides that I have not been on top of it this year. So, I guess that doesn’t bode […]
Lakers/Warriors: What I Saw From The Stands
[picappgallerysingle id=”8099634″] As I mentioned in the comments of the game preview, this was a game that I had the pleasure of attending. And let me just say that I don’t think I could have been at a more entertaining game. The crowd was great, the game was a back and forth affair, and in […]

Tomorrow the Lakers face the Warriors for the fourth and final time this season. If the Lakers can win on Monday evening in Oakland, it will be the second straight year that the Lakers have swept the season series versus the Dubs. Each of the three games has been a bit different – in one […]
Digging Deeper at the Point
[picappgallerysingle id=”8152878″] On Thursday, Silver Screen and Roll (a great site, by the way) put up a post that spoke about how much Derek Fisher is hurting the Lakers and asked the question of whether he was hurting the team more on offense or defense. It was well written and brought up a lot of good points about […]
Lakers/Suns: The Return of Balance
[picappgallerysingle id=”2465308″] When the ball moves and everyone gets involved, the Lakers are a tough team to beat. Phoenix found that out this evening as all five Lakers starters scored in double digits and the Lakers held on to defeat the Suns 102-96. A quality win against a game opponent on their home court. A […]

Fast Break Thoughts
Some random thoughts while I watch Orlando demolish Chicago on TNT… *Late last night I finished watching the Magic/Bird HBO documentary “Courtship of Rivals”. I must say that this was one of the finest sports documentaries I’ve ever watched. There was so much to like that I really didn’t have a favorite moment or clip, […]
The Recent Struggles of Ron Artest
[picappgallerysingle id=”8198549″] Tonight, starting around 10pm Pacific time, FB&G will be down for a few hours for server maintenance. I apologize for any inconvenience that this causes. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming… Lately, the Lakers have not been playing that well. We all know this. They’re 5-5 in their last 10 games and, against […]
