The Lakers got waxed by the Raptors on Sunday night, losing 121-107. The game actually wasn’t even that close — Toronto jumped ahead 41-10 early in the game and ended up with a 42-17 lead at the end of the first quarter. After losing a couple of games in the final 5 minutes this season, […]

Lakers Game Preview: Season Opener vs. the Blazers
First off, my apologies for the lack of posts. I’ve written about this some on twitter, but my family has been dealing with a serious health situation that has been a truly difficult time for me personally. I’ve not been able to write much, if at all, during the past few weeks and that’s impacted […]
Lakers Lose to Nuggets, Open Preseason 0-2
The Lakers played their 2nd preseason game on Tuesday, again vs. the Denver Nuggets. And, again, they lost. This time, however, did not mirror the 124-107 blowout from Sunday. Tuesday’s effort was much better and closer to what the Lakers are trying to build towards. They led for most of the night and it wasn’t […]

This makes the days leading up to the draft […]

Lakers Game Preview: The Orlando Magic
After a brutal loss on Monday where a Damian Lillard explosion in the 4th quarter sunk them, the Lakers are back in action tonight against the Orlando Magic. Winners of 17 of their last 25 games, you’d think the Lakers are in a position to easily win a game vs. a bad Magic team that […]
20 Stats on the Pre-ASG Lakers
57 games are in the books and the Lakers are 7 games out of the playoffs. In a year without any incentive to lose but also without a realistic shot at the playoffs, it’s a year to focus on growth. Many seasons are defined by winning or losing. For LA, this one is different. The process […]
