Game Preview

After dropping 3 straight heading into the All-Star break, the Lakers have won two in a row coming out of it. Their latest victory was a 113-108 win in Sacramento on the 2nd night of a back to back. That game wasn’t the prettiest affair, but a hot shooting night from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (34 points […]

The Lakers came off the All-Star break looking re-engaged defensively and strong offensively against a tanking Mavericks squad to win 124-102. Maybe the state of the Mavs matters most in that equation, but the Lakers took control early and never looked back to claim their first wire to wire win of the year. Julius Randle’s […]

All hail the return of Lakers basketball. It’s been too long. We’ve missed you. After an 8 day break that also saw the NBA converge on Los Angeles for the All-Star game, the Lakers are back in action tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. The same Mavericks who started the 3 game losing streak the Lakers […]

A month long stretch of really good play which saw the Lakers win 12 of 16 games is over with a thud. The team has lost back to back games, to the Mavs and Pelicans. Both games were defensive nightmares which saw the team give up 269 total points. Not good, Bob. Blame whatever you […]

Both Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye will be available to play tonight, and how Thomas fits in will be of particular interest to everyone. For now, […]

In the wake of the Lakers trade with the Cavs that saw Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance depart for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, and a 1st round pick, the team still has a game to play tonight. They’ll be shorthanded against the Thunder, missing those two rotation players and key guys to the team’s recent […]

I’m going to keep this short because a Tuesday night game against the Suns the day before my birthday means I’m going to take some liberties. Haha. The Lakers are coming off a successful road trip, winning 3 of their 5 games — including W’s over the Celtics and the Thunder. And while they remain […]

Coming off a nice win over the Brooklyn Nets that saw Brandon Ingram dish out a career high in assists, Josh Hart come up big behind the arc and on the glass, and the Julius Randle/Larry Nance/Brook Lopez frontcourt trio all impact the game in key was, the Lakers head into the final game of […]

The Lakers have won four straight games and eight of their last 10 overall. They just beat the Bulls on the road, a game that saw Brandon Ingram come up big down the stretch and the team as a whole leverage their transition game and ability to score in the paint on post ups and […]
