Well, maybe not just a little. But the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 102-91, to take a 2-0 series lead in this best-of-seven. It seemed like the disparity of talent showed in this game. It’s not like the Lakers played bad overall but you can see how much better the Spurs are. […]
Lakers/Clippers: Times Are Changing
This wasn’t exactly fun for the Lakers fans. After a triumphant win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, the Lakers lose control of their destiny once again as they lose to their crosstown rivals, the Clippers, 109-95. The Lakers never recovered after the Clips boosted the lead to 13 early in the second half. From […]
Lakers/Kings: Team Gets Big Win And Kobe Gets Milestone
Going into their game against the Sacramento Kings, the Laker had lost four of five games. And it seemed bad going in with Kobe Bryant (foot) and Steve Nash (hip/back) nursing injuries. It started badly, too, as Nash went out after two minutes and didn’t return for the rest of the game. But the Lakers […]
Lakers/Raptors: Sunday Afternoon Blues Continue
This is a broken record. And as we get deeper into the season, the losses get more and more alarming. It was another game by the Lakers where they would get killed in the first 40 minutes or so before they decide that they would get semi-serious. They were down by 19 in the fourth […]
Lakers/Clippers: Little Brother’s All Grown Up Now
Box Score: Lakers 102, Clippers 107 If you didn’t watch the game, don’t let that score fool you. It was another one of those games where the Lakers weren’t in control for most of the game. They did have that one fleeting chance to steal the victory; that was when they were down, 99-97. Unfortunately, […]
Lakers/Mavericks: Well, Hello There, Lakers
Box Score: Lakers 115, Mavericks 89 On one hand, I was thinking to myself, “Is this a mirage?” On the other hand, I was grinning from ear to ear. And I’m sure so did a lot of you readers and the other Laker faithful. The Lakers absolutely hammered the Mavericks from the start. And I […]
Lakers/Clippers: Battle Of L.A. That Was Not Even A Battle
Box Score: Lakers 95, Clippers 105 Well, that was, um, ugly. I feel like we’re saying the same things we’ve been saying the last few days. But it just NEVER felt like the Lakers were in this game. And they were basically without their prized acquisitions in the summer. Steve Nash was out because of […]
FB&G Media Day Interviews (Steve Blake, Antawn Jamison)
In our last wave of Laker Media Day interviews, I talk to the main holdover of last year’s bench, Steve Blake. He’s likely going to back Steve Nash up. Later on, I was able to get a couple of quotes from another new member of the bench, Antawn Jamison. He’ll be expected to provide some […]
FB&G Media Day Interviews (Darius Johnson-Odom, Jodie Meeks)
In the next wave of Laker interviews at Media Day, we talked to a couple more new Lakers. Darius Johnson-Odom was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks before he was moved to the Lakers almost immediately. He’s trying to make the main roster. And the other Laker is Jodie Meeks, who came […]
FB&G Media Day Interviews (Chris Duhon, Earl Clark)
In our second wave of our Media Day interviews, we talked to the guys that went with Dwight Howard on that blockbuster four-way trade, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark (who I found to be… VERY relaxed). Check ’em out, guys. CHRIS DUHON FORUM BLUE & GOLD: What was your reaction when you got traded to […]
