Quick Thoughts On Game 3 Of Lakers’ Summer League
We hear the term, “It’s just Summer League,” all the time. We try not to overreact on everything. So let’s do our best not to do that. There is hardly anything positive to take away from their 76-66 loss to the New York Knicks. The Lakers offense was as dry as the desert here as […]
Lakers Summer League Recap: Game 3
The Lakers finished their weekend as many who travel to Las Vegas typically do: quietly. They lost to the new York Knicks and aside from a few bursts, were never particularly close.

Lakers Summer League Recap: Game 1
Final Score: Lakers 68, Timberwolves 81 And so went the most-hyped summer league game in recent memory. The anticipation beforehand was palpable, and why wouldn’t it be?

Lakers’ Summer League Preview
Writing about this year’s Lakers’ summer league team brings a bit of a strange feeling.

This season, though, is radically different and […]
Report: Lakers Reached Summer League Commitment with Robert Upshaw
