As you read this, the Lakers are back in the states after a week long trip to China. The trip was eventful in many off the court ways, but on the court the team lost both contests to the Warriors, including yesterday’s blowout defeat that saw a close game at the half deteriorate into a […]
Game Recap
Thoughts from China, Lakers vs. Warriors
The Lakers played their first game in China early in the a.m. PST, losing to the Warriors 100-95. The loss drops the Lakers to 2-3 in the preseason, but the record isn’t really something that concerns me. In fact, I don’t have too many concerns about this team as they progress through their prep to […]
Picking Out Trends from Preseason, Win Over the Nuggets
The picture is far from complete, but after three preseason games we’re starting to get a clearer view of this incarnation of the Lakers. The win against the Denver Nuggets was an entertaining one that featured some good play up and down the roster and ended when a unit of deep reserves and Steve Blake […]
Lakers Beat Warriors in Preseason Opener
The Lakers started out their preseason with a win against the Warriors, downing the Dubs 104-95. The game was choppy in areas — the Lakers scored the first 7 points of the game and immediately gave up a 15-0 run; they also had an awful offensive 3rd quarter where they couldn’t hit any outside shots […]
Lakers Lose In Summer League Quarterfinal Against Warriors
The Lakers played one hell of a Summer League game against the Warriors that got the crowd poppin’. Still, the Lakers fell short, 83-77, after the Warriors’ Kent Bazemore went off for 26 points. The Lakers played really well in the second quarter, possibly their best in Summer League. But they fell apart in the […]
Lakers Beat The Clippers In Third Summer League Game
Once again, we have to emphasize that this is a Summer League game. Albeit a little more sloppy than their game against the Blazers, they beat the Clippers, 78-65, in the same manner they beat Portland. They were all over the place on both ends of the floor, especially with the pressure defense that seemed […]
Lakers Take Care Of Blazers In 2nd Summer League Game
Let me reiterate that it is Summer League. But the Lakers Summer League team looked really good out there as they beat the Blazers, 81-63. Just a few notes out there. *Robert Sacre looked really good as an anchor of the defense. He hedged very well against shooters and did a nice job protecting the […]
Lakers/Spurs: Mercy Killing, Swift And Quick
What else is there to say? The Laker season has come to a merciful end after the Spurs put the brooms on them, 103-82. It goes without saying how disappointing this season has been; it’s definitely the most disappointing Laker season in my lifetime in terms of what was expected out of them. As for […]
Lakers Lose Again, Trail 0-3 to the Spurs
I can’t say I’m surprised by the result — especially since I wrote as much in the game preview — but I can say I’m a bit surprised by some of the details of the outcome. The Spurs did what they were supposed to do in this game, so give them credit. They blew out […]
