Sigh. These winnable games that end up as losses always hurt regardless of expectations. — Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) November 16, 2013 That pretty much sums up how I feel about this game. In what is becoming a trend this season, the Lakers played a hard fought game and kept the contest close only to fall […]
Game Recap
Lakers/Nuggets: Back-To-Backs Are Not Very Kind
The Lakers fell to the Nuggets, 111-99, after blowing out the Pelicans last night. They are now 0-3 on the second game of a back-to-back. After a quick 8-0 start by the Lakers, it showed that the Lakers were on the tail end of a back-to-back. They looked tired in the first half; it was […]
Lakers Use New Formula to Blast the Pelicans
The Lakers have had more exciting wins in this brief season, but none have been more complete and less reliant on extremes than this one over the Pelicans. By finally combining a strong offensive performance with very good defensive effort and execution, the Lakers made up for their loss against this same team last Friday […]
T’Wolves Steamroll Lakers Early, Never Look Back
All of this spells some trouble for the Lakers as they face a team with specific match ups that have been problematic this year. If there are two positions the Lakers haven’t been able to handle well this season it’s been skilled power forwards and shooting guards with size who can really score. The Warriors’ […]
Lakers/Pelicans: Trouble At The Finish
The final score didn’t indicate how close the game was throughout. The Pelicans beat the Lakers, 96-85 online pharmacy purchase aricept online with best prices today in the USA . The overall game was pretty tough to watch; both teams weren’t shooting very well (Lakers shot under 39 percent). But the game never got away […]
Steve Blake Sinks Rockets at the Last Second
Sometimes it is better to just enjoy the moment and skip the analysis. Steve Blake’s last second shot is one of those moments. Whether the Lakers’ players publicly admit to wanting this game a bit more than the others doesn’t really matter. The joy on their faces after Blake sunk his game winner says it […]
Thoughts on General Trends and the Win over the Hawks
Through 4 games the Lakers are 2-2 which, if we’re being honest is a bit of a surprise. After playing 3 contenders to reach the western conference finals and a borderline eastern playoff team, 0-4 wouldn’t have been a surprise and 1-3 would have been viewed as the most likely scenario. The team’s .500 record […]
Back Down To Earth: Lakers Clobbered by the Warriors
As I wrote in the game preview, the Lakers faced circumstances that were far from ideal against the Warriors. Not only were they playing the second night of a back to back after a big win last night, but they were doing so on the road, against a team playing in their home opener, who […]
Lakers/Clippers: Opening Day Stunner
Guys, I can’t comprehend this. And this is Opening Day! Mostly picked by people (including me) to not make the postseason, the Los Angeles Lakers stunned one of the West favorites, the Los Angeles Clippers, 116-103. It was already strange for me that the Lakers kept up with the Clippers in the first three quarters. […]
Wednesday Storylines
After Tuesday’s win over the Jazz, the Lakers only have a single preseason game remaining before the regular season begins. One more game to evaluate players, try personnel combinations, switch up rotations. One more game before the final roster is cut down. One more game where the reasoning of it’s only the preseason applies. In […]
