[picappgallerysingle id=”8162737″] The 2010-2011 NBA schedule has just been released and you can look at the Lakers schedule here courtesy of ESPN. (Here’s a pdf if you prefer a calendar view). And just like last year, I’m going to supply my input on the Lakers record at each stage of the season, and then we […]
Talkin’ Finances
I have to confess something: I’ve been on such a high since the Lakers won that epic Game 7 last Thursday that I’ve been scouring the net for any Lakers coverage I can find. To this end, I even watched the parade on the Fox11 stream online. After forcing myself to listen to statements like […]
The Lebron Experience aka Lakers vs. Cavs
So I went to visit a buddy from undergrad who now goes to med school in Cleveland, and since I grew up in Pennsylvania, I’ve never been to a Lakers game live. Thus, I decided it would be a cool idea to get tickets to Lakers-Cavs and we could go see the game together. My […]
What’s Mitch Kupchak doing these days?
First off, sad news about Greg Oden losing this season to a fractured patella. Much as I dislike the Blazers, sports-hate only goes so far (I feel so dirty using a Bill Simmons term). We Laker fans can sympathize with seeing your young big man go down for the season; it’s a feeling like a […]
He’s Baaaaaack!
The return of Pau Gasol, to me, was like going to see a really hyped-up movie, and then the movie actually being really good. I sat down with my soda, popcorn, and watermelon Sour Patch Kids, totally prepared to be disappointed. Little did I know that Pau would capture my attention early with a superb […]
Tempered Exuberance
We as Laker fans have a lot of things to be happy about: Our team has only one loss, tied for the fewest so far. Our team has played this well in spite of our 2nd best player having been hurt all season and nobody really knows when he’s coming back. Our team just whomped […]
Fast Break Thoughts
(Revenge is sweet, b****!) Now I know why Kurt went on vacation: now is the most difficult time of the year for basketball fans. Summer league is over, most of free agency is over, and camp is around the corner but not quite near enough to begin discussing the next season. Needless to say, we […]
What Could Have Horribly Been…
Numb to the moment, we see Kobe Bryant walk off the floor, his head down in shame. Eerily similar to what had happened the year before, Bryant again walks off the court with streamers falling over his head, his opponents triumphant at his expense. We can see the rage burning in his eyes, the frustration, […]
Predicting 82 Games
As we all laze away the final days of summer, basking in the glow of our championship campaign, gauging the competition, and wondering just how crazy Ron Artest will be, allow me to take a look forward to this coming season, as we take a good hard look at the 2009-2010 Lakers Regular Season Schedule. […]
Odom Equilibrium
In Game Theory, there is a canonical game known in the academic world as “Hawk-Dove.” Colloquially, however, it is more commonly known as the game of chicken. For those who have never experienced such an event (and those who have stupidly attempted to perform this game using automobiles), the game entails two players engaging in […]
