Lakers Analysis

Ranking the Lakers Needs at the Trade Deadline

February 3, 2020 by Darius Soriano

lakers trade deadline marcus morris

The NBA Trade Deadline is Thursday and the Lakers have holes on their roster. Normally, then, you’d expect them to be active in trying to fill in the gaps on a team that is near the top of the league in terms of record, but on that has also had some high profile losses vs. […]

Are the Lakers Really Built for the Playoffs?

January 23, 2020 by Darius Soriano

lebron james anthony davis lakers game day

There is a certain type of team that is “built for the playoffs”. That team normally not only full of veterans, but ones who have a lot of postseason experience. It’s normally a team that has at least one, and usually two (or more), superstar players. It’s normally a team that can adjust its style […]

Measuring Stick Games and Falling Short

December 27, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-clippers-lebron-james

The Lakers lost to the Clippers 111-106 on Christmas Day, their 4th straight defeat overall and their 2nd straight loss (in 2 games) to the Clippers. The loss leaves the Lakers in an interesting position of being the top team in the west record wise, but, from an optics standpoint, clearly behind the Clippers (and, […]

On the Lakers Losing Streak…

December 23, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-lebron-james

The Lakers lost again on Sunday, a 128-104 drubbing at the hands of the Nuggets. Without LeBron James and with Anthony Davis suffering/dealing/playing through a knee issue in the 3rd quarter, the Lakers hung tight for two quarters and then lost grip of the rope vs. a very good Denver team. I could get more […]

The Lakers are Beyond the Burden of Proof

December 11, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-mavericks-lebron-james-anthony-davis

Six straight seasons in the lottery make you question1and very cynical about nearly everything about the NBA team you root for. Losing to that level is a petri dish for uncertainty in a fanbase; it’s the response to the poor decision making that, in the aggregate, lead to the results that torpedo you to the […]

20 Stats from the Lakers First 20 Games

December 3, 2019 by Darius Soriano

laker-film-room-podcast-lebron-james-anthony-davis

The 20 game mark is usually a good time to take stock in a team. About one-fourth of the season is complete, so while the sample size is still not where we’re comfortable making definitive conclusions, it is large enough to give us real insight into what a team is and can be. So, with […]

Showing Some Love for Danny Green

November 21, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-danny-green

Danny Green averages 8.6 points a game. He grabs you 3 rebounds a night and it takes him two games to dish out that many assists, on average. On some nights, you might not even know he played if all you did was check the boxscore the next morning. Oh, what’s that? Danny Green had […]

Kyle Kuzma Nearing Return and it’s Perfect Timing

October 31, 2019 by Darius Soriano

The Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting that Kyle Kuzma will make his season debut in the Lakers matchup with the Mavericks on Friday. The Lakers have mostly played coy when it comes to an exact date Kuzma would be back, but Kuz himself seemingly endorsed Charania’s report on twitter Wednesday: It’s easy to argue the […]

Lakers vs. Clippers Post Game Thoughts

October 23, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-clippers-recap-lebron-james

The world is not ending, I promise. Well, at least the Lakers basketball world is not. The Lakers lost a basketball game on Tuesday night to the Clippers by 10 points, 112-102. There was a lot of hype and excitement surrounding this game — opening night, LeBron and AD vs. Kawhi and the new look […]

2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers Season Preview

October 21, 2019 by Darius Soriano

lakers-season-preview-lebron-james-anthony-davis

Championship or bust. This has long been the mantra of the Los Angeles Lakers. When you have 16 Larry O’Brien trophies as an organization (dating back to the team’s days in Minneapolis), this makes sense. That said, when you have now gone 6 straight seasons without even making the playoffs, it is sort of comical […]
