A quick look at and some random thoughts on some of the things that have crossed my web browser in the last week or so… *Well that was fun. Like I mentioned last night and Phillip did this morning, the game against the Pacers was a thorough beatdown and should serve as a nice springboard for […]
Lakers/Pacers: Complete Performance Collapses Indy
[picappgallerysingle id=”8152508″] What can really be said about this game? The Lakers simply outclassed the Pacers and thrashed them to the tune of a 122-99 route. The home crowd got tacos and all Lakers fans got a complete performance that has been missing for most of this season. If there is one thing to nitpick […]

Fine Tuning the Lakers’ Offense
[picappgallerysingle id=”8099578″] Over the past several weeks (really, since the start of the season) I’ve had some pretty strong opinions on the Lakers offense. Essentially, I’ve thought that they are underperforming on that side of the ball. For pretty much the entire season, the Lakers have hovered around 10th in offensive efficiency, which is a […]
Lakers/Nuggets: A Tale of Two Halves
[picappgallerysingle id=”8137339″] The Lakers and the Nuggets simply don’t like each other. You see it on the court and you hear it in the quotes from the players both before and after the games. So, when these two teams play a nationally televised game on a Sunday afternoon, you’re bound to see an intense battle […]

Saturday Special: Prepping for Denver
The game preview will be up later, but in the meantime this video from LD2k (who is simply the best – check him out) got me excited. Sure it’s an intro to last years WCF. So what? It got me in the mood anyway. Enjoy. And let’s get ready for a big game tomorrow.
Lakers/76ers: The Tortoise & The Hare
[picappgallerysingle id=”8117414″] We all know the old fable of the tortoise vs. the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. Against the Sixers, the Lakers definitely looked slow. And while they weren’t that steady, they were stable enough to pull out a win against a game opponent. And for that, they deserve some credit. But […]

Tough Man To Catch Up To
After last night’s loss to the Mavs, I think most Lakers fans could use a small pick me up. And nothing does that for me better than a good laugh. Two of the guys that always do that for me (while also providing some excellent hoops knowledge) are the dynamic duo of Tas Melas and […]
