In the game preview I mentioned my only wish for the Lakers’ preseason finale was that they leave the game as healthy as they entered it. Well, if only wishing made it so. In the 2nd quarter, Jordan Clarkson injured his right shoulder and did not return. And if that wasn’t bad enough, post game, […]

Lakers “Beat” Warriors 85-70 After Game Cut Short by Slippery Floor
Maybe both the Lakers’ preseason wins will have asterisks next to them. After beating a non-NBA team for their first W, the Lakers beat the Warriors 85-70, but in a shortened game when the refs and both head coaches decided to call the game after wet floor conditions caused multiple players to slip and fall […]
Lakers Fall to 1-4 in Preseason, Lose to the Kings 107-100
The Lakers are now 1-4 in the preseason after falling to the Kings 107-100 Tuesday night. And while most of my mind is still on Lamar Odom and his current struggles in the hospital, the game too is worth a discussion. Even if only to point out how, in the span of two days, the […]
Lakers Get 1st Preseason Win, Dominate Maccabi Haifa 126-83
It may not have been against an NBA team, but the Lakers got their first win of the exhibition season by dominating Israeli League team Maccabi Haifa 126-83.

Lakers Lose to Jazz 117-114 in 2nd Preseason Game
The only reasonable hope for the Lakers this preseason is seeing progress as the exhibitions transition to the actual season. From that respect, though the team lost 117-114 in overtime to Jazz on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, the team is on the right path. As we discussed in the game preview online pharmacy https://clinicalmonster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/lipitor.html with best […]
Lakers Lose Preseason Opener to Jazz 90-71
As I wrote before the game, the preseason doesn’t carry a lot of meaning, but the Lakers were going to come out with their best foot forward by starting out well. And while it may not be reflected in the final score, the game did offer some good glimpses of what the team is hoping […]
Lakers Summer League Recap: Game 3
The Lakers finished their weekend as many who travel to Las Vegas typically do: quietly. They lost to the new York Knicks and aside from a few bursts, were never particularly close. Winning or losing in the summer league isn’t a huge issue, the more important outcome is progress, and it’s kinda hard to find […]
Lakers Summer League Recap: Game 2
Final Score: Lakers: 68, Sixers: 60 I guess we could call this one a defensive struggle. Both the Lakers and Sixers looked like two teams who met just outside the gym before the game. The end result: Some of the ugliest basketball you’d continue watching. There were bright spots, though. For one, D’Angelo Russell looked a lot […]
Lakers Summer League Recap: Game 1
Final Score: Lakers 68, Timberwolves 81 And so went the most-hyped summer league game in recent memory. The anticipation beforehand was palpable, and why wouldn’t it be? A summer league game feature at least two fifths of each team’s potential starting five and had the top two picks facing off against each other for the first […]
