How are you feeling? Maybe a little sick to your stomach? Maybe a little excited? Confident? Anxious? Nervous? Tense?

Fast Break Thoughts, Friday Links, and Weekend Reading

A Quick Note on Progress
The Lakers are in the midst of a 4 game losing streak. One of the key reasons for the losses are the injuries to key players they are dealing with, missing their starting back court, they next point guard up in the rotation, and their back up center. The team’s starting and backup PF’s have […]

The key to holding that space open is Tarik Black and the difference between his cap hold and the contract the Lakers have agreed to with him, but the deals […]

And Now, We Wait
It’s been nearly a week since the Lakers’ season ended with Kobe Bryant adding to his myth by scoring 60 points on 50 shots while also slaying a dragon and eating an entire extra-large pepperoni pizza at the same time. Okay, two of those things didn’t happen, but maybe in 50 years, and the story […]
