Just wanted to say a quick thank you to Rob and Gatinho for filling in for me while I went to bask in the sun. They did a great job with interesting posts. I’m back now, complete with flip-flop tan lines on my feet, and eager to talk Lakers and discuss what NBA All-Star is […]

Aloha
I can’t take these brutal Southern California winters, I mean it barely got up to 65 degrees yesterday. How can a man live in these conditions? So, my family and I are off for 10 days in Kauai, where the low yesterday was 70. While I may watch a Laker game while sipping on a […]
Tickets Wanted
Regular readers and commenters here may recognize Xavier, a Laker and hoops fan living in Barcelona. He’s using his spring break to come to Los Angeles and is going to try to catch a couple of Laker games — but buying tickets while overseas has proved problematic for him. Most of the ticket exchange places […]
Thank You
Today is the two-year anniversary of Forum Blue & Gold, and I just wanted to quickly say thank you to all of you who have made this place a regular stop. The comments that came in last night are a perfect example of why I’m proud of what this little blog has become. In case […]
Courtside Times
Last year Courtside Times was my first read every day on the NBA, a favorite place for smart research and conversation about the league and its players. They also foolishly let me also do some writing. Unfortunately, after a fast start, as the writers on the site got overwhelmed by a multitude of personal things […]
30 Teams in 30 Days
All the best ideas seem like simple ones — there are so many NBA blogs now, so much quality information and different perspectives, why not band together for our own previews of the coming season? Thirty teams in 30 days — an idea to make Morgan Spurlock proud. And so NBA Blog Previews was born. […]
This Is Not the Classifieds, but….
I return from vacation 93 days before the Lakers tip off against the Suns on Halloween night and with very little news to comment on — what little Laker talk out there is not just rumors but pretty much pure speculation. So we’re reduced to talking about Chris Mihm’s golf game. Instead, let me mention […]
Vacation All I Ever Wanted
The theory was to get away from the heat for a week by escaping to the mountains. Except that Big Bear had highs over 100 degrees much of last week. We’re going anyway. The family and I are off on vacation, but I leave you in the very capable hands of Gatinho, who has a […]
Happy Birthday Blog-a-Bull!
Matt was one of the pioneer NBA bloggers, one of the handful of guys I was reading before I started this blog and in part paterened it after. Now his Chicago Bulls blog is turning three, which in the world of blogging makes him like Tex Winter’s age. And like Tex he continues to do […]
Yup, these are my readers
First things first, congratulations to Kobe on his new daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant. I can’t imagine the emotions of his day, winning that game then later that night having his second child born. I couldn’t be happier for him. And if he needs some extra newborn diapers, the wife and I have got plenty. ————————————— […]
