There isn’t much I can say about last night’s game that Darius didn’t touch on. The Lakers struggled early, but a 26-6 run in the third led to the 122-99 route of the Indiana Pacers. Kobe still had an off shooting night (five for 14), but got to the line frequently (14 of 15). Jordan […]

Today, the conjectural March toward the playoffs begins. When the NBA first released the schedule, I scanned it loosely until I got to this month, March, where that little @ symbol appeared at a higher rate than it did any other month. Over 73 percent of the Lakers games are going to be on the […]

The Lakers didn’t play their best basketball over the weekend, and during some stretches, they played absolutely terrible, but it’s Monday, and the Lakers finished the month of February with two huge wins against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets.

[…]

There hasn’t been much news on the Lakers front since the team hasn’t played since their Thursday loss to Boston, but we did learn over the weekend that Kobe is (hopefully) on his way back into the Lakers lineup for their Tuesday matchup in Memphis, where the Lakers lost earlier this month. He was able […]

With 2.2 seconds left in the game and the Lakers down one, I was baffled during the timeout. I had NO idea who Phil Jackson was going to diagram a play for – it was definitely Kobe time, but Kobe was in street clothes. And after Ron Artest inbounded the ball, Derek Fisher – who […]
