From Dave McMenamin, ESPN Los Angeles: For the second time in five games, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol watched the final minutes of the fourth quarter from the sidelines.

Some Art For Your Walls…
Before we get to our game preview, I thought I’d pass along an offer if you’re looking for a great gift this holiday season. A while back the NBA and Rare Ink announced a collaborative effort to produce some fantastic art pieces on teams and players from the past and present. They really are great […]
Lakers/Grizzlies: Bizarro Game
This game was just bizarre. In the midst of 4 games in 5 nights, it would be tough to expect the Lakers to beat one of the league’s hottest teams, while lacking one of their 4 best players, and having a new coach. The Lakers managed to make it respectable in the end, a 106-98 […]

Every year, it seems, the life of a Laker fan changes yet stays […]

That doesn’t mean, however, that he’s going to quietly fade into the background, even on a team that he described as […]
Conflict Resolution
Imagine watching your dad parking a brand new Corvette in the garage, knowing that it’s all yours, but having to wait six months to get your license. With the strangest summer since… well, yet another strange summer in Lakerland in the rearview, the goings-on of recent months have begun to take root in reality. Learning […]
Lakers Countdown: At #9…the 2010 Lakers
Fresh off a victory in the 2009 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers knew they had a title team as opposed to perhaps just thinking they had a championship roster. With that said, the Lakers wanted to make a small tweak to the roster and ended up perhaps changing the course of their fate with […]

First, let’s get some basics out of the way: The Lakers have a total of 16 back-to-backs. With reports out there that some teams […]
