Tonight’s win in Minnesota wasn’t an easy one to watch. While the 120-117 win is valuable in terms of this team holding off the Mavericks and making the post season, it isn’t exactly the kind of performance you’d like to be seeing heading into the post season either. The first half of the game was […]
Game Recap
Lakers Dig A Hole They Can’t Climb Out Of
Pictured above is the Warriors shooting chart for the first half. As you can see, besides the above the break three from the left wing and the area right above the right elbow, the Warriors were red hot from the field. This hot shooting led to 63 first half points and a 23 point lead […]
Lakers v. Wizards: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
While the Lakers were run out of the building in their game against the Suns, they had been generally playing some very good and fun basketball. After the Lakers loss to the Atlanta Hawks that saw Kobe Bryant go down with an ankle injury in the closing seconds, they played a tough, physical game against […]
Lakers vs. Suns: No Reprieve From Tired Legs
There’s really not a lot to say about this game so I’m going to keep this short. Against the Suns the Lakers played like a tired team. After playing only 7 players against the Kings the night before, the same tactic was tried against the Suns and they simply didn’t have the legs to make […]
Lakers vs. Kings: No Kobe, No Pau, No Problem

Lakers v. Pacers: Lakers Grind Out Ugly Game
Gross. Gritty. Grotesque. Gruesome. For three quarters, the Lakers and Pacers engaged in one of the ugliest games of the season. Both teams were shooting under 40 percent from the field and both teams were shooting lest than 43 percent around the rim. There were loads of bunnies missed right at the bucket way too […]
Lakers v. Hawks: The Lakers Give Away A Winnable Game
Tonight was an absolutely ugly game from both teams. Los Angeles were coming in after a win in Orlando while the Hawks were coming off of a huge loss from Miami, and the game looked like both teams were on the second half of a back-to-back. The Hawks would ultimately win this game 96-92, but […]
Workmanlike Effort Downs the Bulls
Coming into this game I talked about how this game would be decided by which team’s strength won out in the end. Well, it was the Laker offense that handled their business in the 2nd half, leading them to a 90-81 lead that vaulted them into the 8th seed. For most of this game it […]
Lakers vs. Raptors: Another Night, Another Amazing Comeback
For one night, I don’t care that the Lakers started out slowly when they needed to come out crisp and with better effort. I don’t care that the defense still has too many holes and that they don’t get the stops that they need over the course of the game. I don’t care about the […]
Kobe and Dwight Dominate Late, Lead Comeback
20-0. That’s the run the Lakers went on to close out the Hornets over the last 6:46 of the game. The Lakers hit 7 of their last 10 shots while the Hornets missed all 12 of their attempts and committed 5 turnovers. 33-9. That’s the final 4th quarter tally, a combination of fantastic Laker basketball […]
