You know how on Christmas Day you open that one present that makes you ohh and ahh (and makes you wish you’d bought that person something better than a salad spinner), but three months later its another present that you use every day. Well, while the Lakers and Heat provided the ohhs and ahhs on […]

In an absolute rip-off of the Sports Guy, here is my minute-by-minute diary from Christmas Day. (Well, not the entire day, unless you want to read about how many times you have to change a six-month-old’s diapers in an afternoon. This just covers game time, sparing you some ugly descriptions of smells.) 12:10: I sit […]

Near the end of the Christmas Day game, I expect to hear Al Michaels utter this sentence: “Our Chevrolet player of the game is Dwyane Wade, who opened a lot of eyes with his 38-point performance today.” Shaq is going to have some 5.0 on the Richter Scale buy amaryl online https://integrimedical.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/amaryl.html dunks. Kobe is […]

Whether you came here as a regular reader or just wanted to find out more about Kobe’s shoes, I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday. Enjoy the food, family, gifts and the game today. I just want to take this chance to say thank you to the loyal readers I’ve picked up — […]

Two things, from different coasts, worth reading out there this morning: First, from the Los Angeles Times, there is a great piece about the marketing of the NBA and the fine-line it walks trying to court the youth hip-hop generation and the white-bread suits that purchase the luxury boxes and $200 seats on the floor. […]

Not only was Caron Butler ejected for his punching foul against New Orleans guard Dan Dickau (great porn stage name, by the way), but with that will come a one game suspension. There’s a very good case to make that Butler did nothing to earn a suspension — Dickau took Caron down from behind, intentionally […]

We know two things for sure heading into tonight’s game: 1) The Hornets are the worst team in the NBA, and very likely will be without their best player online pharmacy albuterol no prescription pharmacy . 2) The Lakers can’t afford to look past anyone. The Lakers are 2-0 against the Hornets this year and […]

Starting at center for the Miami Heat, out of Louisiana State University, Shaquille O’Neal….. And your reaction is? Assuming he plays (and after all his hype I’m sure he will), I’m curious to see what we will hear when Shaq is introduced in Staples Center just after noon Christmas Day, and what happens when he […]

Big six-game home stand and the Lakers are now 0-2. And a painful 0-2 because both games were teams the Lakers need to beat. As I am really swamped at work today (maybe it slows down in your office for Christmas, but not around here), today’s post is a collection of notes and observations. Please […]

Back in November, the Lakers went into Memphis for the second half of a back-to-back and produced one of those complete dud games that leave us all shaking our heads. Much like Friday night. Tonight, they catch Memphis in a back-to-back, but that’s not necessarily good news — Memphis is 4-2 in those second games. […]
