Look. I get the circumstances aren’t that great. The Lakers are coming off a long-ish road trip and this will be their 3rd game in 4 nights. They’re still banged up and both Bron and AD are still not available. The Celtics are playing well, winners of 4 in a row and 6 of their […]
Game Preview
Lakers Game Preview: The Brooklyn Nets
Honestly, if you told me you’ve come from the future and that the Lakers lose tonight’s game against the Nets by 40 points, I would not bat an eyelash. Sure, the Nets are without James Harden (hamstring) but with Kevin Durant returning earlier this week, that blow is softened. Of course, the Lakers are down […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Miami Heat
The Lakers got a much needed win over the Raptors on Tuesday, but in the process have lost Talen Horton-Tucker to a 1-game suspension due to him stepping onto the court during the skirmish that broke out when OG Anunoby decided he was going to dump Dennis Schroder onto the ground after the latter fouled […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Toronto Raptors
After a rough loss vs. the Clippers on Sunday, the Lakers are back action today vs. the Raptors. This is, technically, the 3rd game of the team’s 7 game road trip, but it’s their first of their 5 that will take them up the east coast in games vs. the Heat, Knicks, Nets, and Hornets. […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Milwaukee Bucks
I’m not sure how many of you are parents, but there’s a moment of both excitement and real fear when your baby starts to crawl. You’re so thrilled at the prospect of this incremental step in their development, only to also have a fear set in when you realize that your baby can now move […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Philadelphia 76ers
I’ve not written a game preview in a couple of days for a few reasons, but a key one is because I wanted to see if my initial thoughts on what this team would look like with LeBron joining AD out injured were confirmed or not. Turns out, they have been so far. The Lakers […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Atlanta Hawks
Two of the hotter teams in the league will face off today when the Lakers play the Hawks at STAPLES. Only the Bucks have a winning streak (5) as long as the Lakers (4) or the Hawks (7) in the NBA right now, so I expect a good game — particularly as both teams continue […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Charlotte Hornets
I’m not going to lie, this game concerns me some. The Lakers are undoubtedly playing very good basketball since returning from the All-Star break, looking refreshed mentally and physically. Their offense is humming and their commitment to defense is strong (despite the shootout with the Wolves on Tuesday). The Hornets, however, are also playing well, […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Minnesota Timberwolves
I’m going to keep this brief because, as it does sometimes, life has me a time crunch. The Lakers blasted the Warriors on Monday night, giving them their 2nd straight blowout win over the Dubs and has them generating some momentum out of the All-Star break after beating the Pacers last Friday. Tonight, the Timberwolves […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Golden State Warriors
We’re only a game removed from the All-Star break, but the Lakers are even more banged up than what they were a week ago. In a very good win against the Pacers on Friday, the Lakers lost Alex Caruso to a mild concussion after he banged his head on the ground diving for a loose […]
