Game Preview

The Lakers continue their road trip tonight, not yet fortunate enough to escape Texas after being blasted by the Mavs on Tuesday. No, they stay in the lonestar state to do battle with the Houston Rockets who have a ton of talent and expectations to match. So as the Lakers look to find an identity […]

The Lakers lost a winnable game on Friday, falling to the Spurs in the closing minutes as the gap between execution and which team’s best players were able to make the key plays bore out. The Spurs had Tony Parker orchestrating the team’s offense and either scoring or creating good looks for his teammates. The […]

Through two games – one great win, one terrible loss – we’re starting to learn some things about these Lakers. Some of those things, we already had hints of from the preseason. This team will compete until the final buzzer regardless of the scorer, they’ll have their issues defensively, they will be very reliant on […]

The Lakers, after a somewhat surprising win over the Clippers last night, are back in action this evening. Starting the season with a back to back is never easy, but traveling to Golden State to play a very good Warriors team in t heir home opener adds variables that make this match up even more […]

The regular season is finally upon us. There’s no more waiting to see what this team can do when the games start to matter. No more waiting for how the players perform when the action turns more serious. No more waiting to see what, if anything, the coaches have held back. This is what we’ve been […]

Tonight marks the end of the Lakers preseason campaign. They’ll be going into the season with a wee bit more momentum than they had last year as they failed to win a game before the start of the season. With three wins under their belts this year, tonight’s focus won’t be on adding another tally […]

The Lakers finally return to action tonight, having (hopefully) recuperated and overcome the jet-lag after returning from China on Friday night. The team takes the floor against the Jazz for their first of two games — the 2nd is on Thursday — to close out their preseason action. That’s right, the regular season is just […]

The Lakers’ time in China is coming to a close. On Friday morning (4:30am PST, to be exact), the team faces off against the Warriors in Shanghai with a return to the states shortly after. I’m sure after spending a week in China the team is ready to come home, despite some adventurous immersion into […]

The Lakers are back in action tonight, this time brining the show on the road to Las Vegas to face the Sacramento Kings. Or maybe we should call them Shaqramento. No, that sounds silly. Never mind. Anyways, this is the last preseason game stateside as the team will soon depart for China to finish off […]
