[picappgallerysingle id=”7626748″] Coming into this game, with the playoff seedings pretty much set and the Lakers knowing who they’d face in the first round (and that they wouldn’t catch Orlando for the league’s 2nd best record), I think the only thing that all Lakers fans were hoping for was an injury free game. Well, they […]
Game Recap
Lakers/Kings: Shannon & Sasha Steal The Show
[picappgallerysingle id=”8423498″] Coming into this game, we all knew that the outcome didn’t count towards anything and that it may affect the intensity level of the players. So, in a game that felt like a scrimmage, it’s only appropriate that two of the Lakers back up players stepped up their games. Pau Gasol may have […]
Lakers/Timberwolves: Sometimes Talent Is Enough
[picappgallerysingle id=”8299217″] Coming into the game it was obvious that the Lakers had too much talent for the Timberwolves to handle over the course of an entire game. Which, for a Lakers team that hasn’t put together a complete 48 minutes in some time, was the perfect combination of factors that led to this uninspiring […]
Lakers/Nuggets: A Missed Opportunity
[picappgallerysingle id=”8042538″] If this game could be explained in two words they would be the ones that are in the title of this post: missed opportunity. On a night where Kobe or Bynum didn’t play, the Lakers still had a lead in the final five minutes and couldn’t close out the game. Instead, Denver seized […]
Lakers/Spurs: Ginobili Ruined Easter
For the second straight game, the Taco Unit was in for the Lakers to close out the game, Kobe struggled with his jump shot and Pau Gasol put up good numbers. Also, for the second straight game in Staples Center, one of the Western Conference’s top 2 teams left the arena with a loss – […]
Lakers/Jazz: Odom Overwhelms Utah
[picappgallerysingle id=”4673661″] Ahh, the sweet taste of victory. After two straight defeats and losing three of four games, it definitely feels nice to get a win. It feels even better to beat the Jazz – one of the better teams in the conference and the team that held the number two seed coming into tonight’s […]
Lakers/Hawks: No Effort, No Fundamentals
The Lakers began this road trip winners of six straight, looking to close out the regular season on a high note as they have in the past during championship runs. They went into San Antonio and began the trip with a great win without Andrew Bynum – and the second half of that game was […]
Lakers/Hornets: Kobe & Pau All Alone In Loss
[picappgallerysingle id=”3216358″] (Yeah I went with an old school ‘Zo picture here. What can I say, I’m in that kind of mood. That look on his face is just like mine…) After game four of the 2004 NBA Finals, Phil Jackson said something along the lines of “we wasted one of the great games from […]
Lakers/Rockets: Some Offensive Wrinkles Return
When you watch an NBA game and already know the outcome, you get to look at what happens in the contest in a bit of a different light. In the case of the Lakers/Rockets game, I already knew that the Lakers had beat the Rockets 109-101 when I hit the play button on my DVR […]
Lakers/Thunder: Pure Awfulness
[picappgallerysingle id=”8348949″] Well, well, well. The Lakers really know how to take the wind out of the sails of a winning streak. Three days after having one of their better wins of the season, the Lakers come through with one of their worst games in recent memory. The closest comparison is probably the Bobcats game […]
