The NBA schedule was released a couple of weeks ago. And yes, it’s tough to get a bit excited (myself included, to be honest) since the season doesn’t even start in roughly two months. But we should take a look at the schedule and break it down a bit. Do they have an extended home […]

Recap And Thoughts Of Game 4 Of Lakers’ Summer League
In this Summer League tournament, the Lakers were seeded 11th and drew the Dallas Mavericks.

Quick Thoughts On Game 3 Of Lakers’ Summer League

Quick Thoughts On Game 2 Of Lakers’ Summer League

Lakers/Rockets: Bottoming Out On The First Game
The Lakers lost their opening day game against the Houston Rockets, 108-90. But something far worse had happened. Julius Randle, the Lakers’ first round pick, seems to be done for the year with a broken leg. It seemed like a throwaway play after he was pushed to the floor (by Donatas Montiejunas). And then suddenly, […]

I actually don’t know what to say about this. Here’s Marc Stein from ESPN with this news: ESPN has learned that the Los Angeles Lakers have won the amnesty auction with the highest bid for Boozer — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 17, 2014 I don’t get it. The Lakers paid a LOT of money to […]
