Game Preview

Coming off Sunday’s loss to the Kings, Kobe Bryant has become the key focus of most pundits’ thoughts on the Lakers. The typically great Zach Lowe summed it up thusly in his latest column: The league’s vaudeville freak show rolls on, with Kobe Bryant upchucking one of the very worst games you’ll ever see from […]

Before we get into Lakers/Kings, remember that our t-shirt giveaway contest will run through the end of the game. So, if you haven’t already, please tweet me using the hashtag #capgoggles or leave a comment in the contest thread with why you deserve to win. With that bit of business out of the way, the […]

The Lakers have been off since Monday, a bad loss at the hands of the Pacers to close their three game road trip. The Lakers were looking to win their 4th game in a row, but got smacked around early and never really recovered against the team from the Hoosier state. Tonight, then, the team […]

After winning their 3rd straight game last night in Minnesota — also this thing with Kobe happened, in case you missed it — the Lakers are back in action tonight against Indiana. Playing back to back under normal circumstances is already a difficult task in the NBA, but add in emotional element of last night’s […]

This Lakers’ season represents the battle between two distinct lines of thought. The first is that the Lakers are a team, whether they admit it or not, in need of a rebuild.

The Lakers’ season has fallen into a fairly consistent pattern through 21 games. They will lose four to five games in a row, then win one or two straight. This cycle has repeated itself three times already this year and is in the middle of the fourth. This is how you get to be 5-16 […]

After the Lakers were handed a bad loss at the hands of the Celtics on Friday night, Byron Scott said there would be lineup changes in tonight’s game versus the Pelicans. True to his word, Scott has swapped out two members of his starting group: Ronnie Price and @eddavis32 will move into the starting lineup […]

The Lakers continue their three game road trip tonight in Washington, just a night after beating the Pistons in Detroit. That game saw a tired and flu-ridden Kobe rely heavily on his teammates and a nice third quarter burst of his own to win the game and bring the Lakers record to 5 and 14 […]

The Lakers begin a three game road trip today, heading to the Motor City to face the Pistons in the first night a back to back. This after a four game home-stand that saw the team go 1-3. That lone win, however, was a game to remember with Kobe posting a triple-double while also becoming […]
