Game Preview

Tell me if you have heard this before… In an attempt to create a super team and championship contender, a big market franchise adds name brand talent to a roster already stocked with name brand talent. That franchise instantly becomes the talk of the summer and is considered one of the handful of teams who […]

Lakers Coming In: The Lakers are on a three game winning streak after defeating Detroit, Golden State, and Sacramento at Staples Center. Two of those opponents may have been inferior, but beating the Warriors was a huge confidence booster for the team. What’s great for the Lakers is that they’re finally receiving great play from Pau […]

The Lakers coming in: The Lakers are coming off one of their better weeks of the season, getting some much needed rest and winning their only two games (their first back to back wins of the year) during that stretch. The team also saw Kobe return to practice, though that was only a temporary return […]

The Lakers ended their two-game losing streak last Sunday after getting a pretty convincing home victory over the Detroit Pistons, pushing their record to 5-7, which is where we should expect them to be for a team that’s been playing without their best player. Speaking of their best player, Kobe Bryant has begun practicing this […]

The Lakers coming in: After losing to the Grizzlies on Friday, the Lakers fell to 4-7 on the year. The loss also marked the 4th loss in the team’s last 5 games with three of those losses coming by double digits (though, to be fair, the loss to the Pelicans in New Orleans was much […]

The Lakers ended their two-game losing streak last night after getting a pretty convincing home victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, pushing their record to 4-5, which isn’t bad at all for a team that’s been playing without their best player. The main takeaway from last nights game was that Mike D’Antoni made another change […]

The Lakers (3-5) will look to bounce back from an ugly loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight when they take on the new-look New Orleans Pelicans (3-4) at Staples Center. The Lakers will be playing without Steve Nash for the first of what could be many games; Nash saw back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins on […]

The Lakers return home tonight after a road trip that pretty much exemplifies the team they’ve been this year. After a dreadful loss to the Mavs, the Lakers surprised with a great win over the Rockets and then played a hard fought game that went against them late against the Pelicans. Sitting at 3-4 on […]

Tonight, the Lakers are on the second of a back-to-back against the New Orleans Pelicans following a huge, emotional win. This isn’t the first time that the Lakers have faced this situation as the Lakers won on Opening Night against the Clippers at Staples only to travel up north to Golden State, which resulted in […]
