Over the past few days, I’ve questioned when this Lakers team was actually going to play like the season starts next week. It turns out, Thursday night was that night as the Lakers pulled away from the Warriors in the 2nd half to win going away 120-99. It was a strong showing all around as […]
Game Recap
Thoughts On Lakers/Jazz, Part Deux
Hoping does not make it so. You see, I was hoping that after the Lakers struggled to score (save for a Kobe explosion and Pau being Pau) on Sunday, that the Lakers would come out in Tuesday’s game with more focus and a dedication to executing the Triangle. I was hoping that shots would start […]
Thoughts on Lakers/Jazz
Is Phil’s telling Pau that he needs more? If so, last night, Pau gave it to him… The Lakers are looking better by the game even if the wins aren’t coming with the improved performance. So while it’d be a lot easier to say that this team is right on track if the results were […]
Lakers vs. Jazz Preview & Chat, Nuggets Thoughts
The Lakers pre-season schedule is full swing now and with the Shootout format of four teams (Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Nuggets) playing a two games each in two days, the Lakers will finish off their weekend with a game against the Jazz tonight. But before we get to that match up, a few thoughts on Saturday’s […]
Post-Game Thoughts: Lakers vs. Kings
[picappgallerysingle id=”8269009″] Phil was rocking designer sandals with socks tonight and I still can’t watch a game in Vegas without thinking of Kobe’s prophetic dunk in a pre-season game there over a decade ago. More importantly, though, the Lakers are finally starting to resemble the team that has won consecutive titles, defeating Sacramento 98-95 in […]
Thoughts On Lakers v. FC Barcelona
Earlier today, the Lakers took on the European League champion FC Barcelona and lost the 92-88 decision in Spain. While Phil Jackson did put his starters on the floor to end the game, I do not believe the loss requires any cause for concern. Instead of a full on recap of the game, here are […]
Thoughts On The Lakers’ Loss In London
So, the we’ve waited all this time to see the Lakers have their hats handed to them in their first exhibition game of the pre-season. Despite the loss, however, it was good to finally see the Lakers suit up as a unit and play the game we all love to watch, analyze, and critique. So […]
On Top Again
[picappgallerysingle id=”9142977″] Oh how sweet it is. The Lakers successfully defended their NBA championship by beating the Celtics 83-79 in an ugly struggle that was also a beautifully triumphant game 7 of the NBA Finals. And now for the second time in two seasons, the Lakers are the kings of the court, are at the […]
Lakers Live To Fight Another Day
[picappgallerysingle id=”9126941″] Before game 6 there was a nervousness amongst us fans; there was an anxiety. I mean, you never quite know how a team is going to respond in an elimination game. Were the Lakers going to be tight? Maybe they’d be too excited? In what was sure to be an emotion filled game, […]
Lakers/Celtics Game 5: Down, But Not Out
Last night’s loss was tough to stomach. The Celtics didn’t just win, but they controlled the tempo, they dictated the Lakers offense and had their most impressive offensive performance of these Finals, shooting 56 percent from the field including 66 percent in the first half – but it never seemed as if the game was […]
