The Los Angeles Lakers won their 4th straight game on Friday night, and 8th in their last 10, with a 108-103 road victory over the Chicago Bulls. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look at Brandon Ingram’s success from mid range against the Bulls (with a little help from Luke Walton), […]

Kyle Kuzma Takes Over
There is no quicker way to this old fan’s heart than leading the Lakers to a win over the hated Celtics in crunch time. With 17 of his team-high 28 points, Kyle Kuzma did exactly that in a dramatic 108-107 victory on Tuesday night. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look […]
Talking Nerdy with Luke: Who is His Offensive Coordinator?
First, a bit of context. Luke Walton’s offense is divided into two parts, based on whether or not the offensive possession was preceded by a whistle. This is true of most, if not all of the offenses in the NBA. If the Lakers get the ball off of a defensive rebound or a steal, they’re […]
Clarkson Stays Hot as Randle Cooks Porzingis
With their 127-107 win over the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers have suddenly won 6 out of their last 8 games, including a 5-game winning streak at home. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look at Jordan Clarkson’s efficient 29 point, 10 assist performance after a […]
Jordan Clarkson & The Skeleton Crew
No Lonzo Ball. No Brandon Ingram. No Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. No problem. Jordan Clarkson led an improbable cast of characters to a 99-86 victory in front of a raucous Staples Center crowd on Friday night, snapping the Los Angeles Lakers’ 8-game losing streak without Ball. In this installment, I take a look at Clarkson’s phenomenal performance […]
Josh Hart – The Young Professional
Josh Hart has gone from being the 30th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft to a core member of the Los Angeles Lakers’ rotation in short order. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a deeper look at the young guard from Villanova and find a player well beyond his years, with a […]
Lakers Podcast – We’re Going Streaking!
The last month of the Lakers’ season has been quite the rollercoaster ride, as they brushed up against the longest losing streak in the franchise’s history just 10 days ago, which was then immediately followed by their longest meaningful winning streak in 5 years. In the latest episode of the Laker Film Room Podcast, Darius […]
Lakers Rally, Extend Winning Streak to 4 Games
It’s been a while since we had a winning streak that we all could enjoy. The Lakers won 5 straight near the end of the 2016-17 season, sending many faithful fans into a panic because the team was jeopardizing their Top 3 protected draft pick in exchange for a relatively meaningless surge during garbage time. […]
Lakers Upset Spurs, Win Third Straight
What a fun night. The Los Angeles Lakers snapped their 9-game losing streak on Sunday night against the Atlanta Hawks, and followed that up with a solid win against the Sacramento Kings, but hadn’t gotten a convincing win against a quality opponent since beating the Houston Rockets on Kyle Kuzma’s big night. They got exactly […]
New Starting Lineup Thrives in Lakers 99-86 Win Over Kings
Many of us figured that the starting lineup at the beginning of Training Camp would be Lonzo Ball, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, and Brook Lopez. It took a while, but it finally arrived last Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets. While it was less than inspiring that evening, that group has performed much more […]
