Yesterday we told you that we were bringing on Pete Zayas (writer + video god) and Grant Goldberg (social media jedi) as full time contributors to FB&G. I’m beyond excited to have both in the fold and think their additions will help grow and improve the site over the long term. That said, staffing aren’t […]

Site News: Changes at Forum Blue & Gold
Nearly 8 years ago, in January of 2010, I took over Forum Blue & Gold from Kurt Helin. I read that sentence now and still wonder where the time went. Nearly 8 years of coming here, my second home, every day to write, discuss, argue, agree, and just hang out with all of you. And […]
Help Support Forum Blue & Gold
Honestly, I feel a bit weird about this. I run this site because I love to. I love basketball, love the Lakers, love to talk about them, love to write about them, and love to engage with the community of posters here at FB&G. I would not continue to pour time and resources into the […]
Happy Thanksgiving from FB&G
I just want to take a moment to offer all of you and yours a happy Thanksgiving from FB&G. The Lakers may not be a very good team right now, but those of you who follow the site and are part of the community, who make this site what it is continue to make the […]
A Call for Contributors
Forum Blue & Gold was founded a little over a decade ago with the intention of being a place where fans could discuss, and the writing would focus on, “on-the-court Laker analysis and information, not the off the court soap opera that dominates the local and national media.” I’ve no clue if our old buddy […]

Fast Break Thoughts
For your weekend pleasure, some random musings (and a couple of updates) from around the basketball world and, of course, the Lakers. Let’s get to it… Dave captured the mood perfect in his Friday Forum, I think. We’re all a bit salty after a preseason lacking any wins. But saltiness is always best mixed with […]
Some Site News…
Later on today (at what exact time, I’m not yet sure) FB&G will be going through some server updates that will take the site off line for a bit. I’m told that it can take up to a full day to complete this work but I hope that it won’t take that long to work everything out. […]
We’re Back…
If you tried to access the site earlier today you’d have found that the internet gods had struck with vengeance and fury to down FB&G like one of Jason Terry’s unforgiving jump shots in game 4. However, I’ve since paid my pennance and the site is now back up and ready to go. We’ll have […]
