Here’s something I didn’t think I’d write this season: The Eastern Conference leading Orlando Magic are in town. Literally from worst (21-61 last season) to first. (On a side note — the Eastern Conference may have the NBA champs but my feelings about it from the past couple of seasons have not changed: It remains […]

On Tap: The Los Angeles Clippers
At least this time around the media isn’t building this game up as some sort of “Battle for L.A.” But don’t think the game’s not important — the Clippers are one of the teams the Lakers could be fighting at the end of the season for a playoff spot. Be the game in December or […]
It’s Friday, I’m in Love
No reason for the headline, other than a chance to quote The Cure online pharmacy augmentin with best prices today in the USA . What follows is an assortment of thoughts on a Friday morning: * I know it’s early, but for the record: At 10-8, the Lakers are ninth in the Western Conference right […]
Are the Lakers More Primetime or Daytime?
A couple of posts down, the comments section on Karl Malone’s non-return to the Lakers included, in part, a discussion about the frustration some of us have with the ongoing soap opera surrounding the Lakers. Personally, I’m done with the Kobe/Shaq feud, the Buss/Shaq feud, the Kobe/Malone feud and the rest of the Hatfields and […]
Where’s the Clutch?
Last night, in the fourth quarter at Staples Center, one team had another gear left, took control of the game late and came out with a close win. We Angelinos had become spoiled in recent years because that team had always been the Lakers — and with Kobe still around we expected much the same […]

One and Done
No need to worry about who gets bumped off the roster when Karl Malone comes back — he’s not.

What’s Under The Tree For Laker Fans
Are you finished shopping for the holidays? If you’re Jewish your time is up, the rest of us have 18 days left until Christmas. I guess I need to start making out my list of who to buy for. We Laker fans went into this season not sure what we would be getting for Christmas. […]
Mini-Rant
Sunday night’s big ESPN “Sunday Conversation” with Kobe, Shaq, Phil and Dr. Buss talking about the change over in the Laker was almost everything I have come to expect from ESPN — over-hyped and providing nothing new of substance. I just want to know how I can get those five minutes of my life back. […]
Kobe’s Got A Brand New Backup
It’s official — Kareem Rush is no longer a Laker. In his place, at least in the short term, that roster spot will be filled by Tony Bobbit, who tore up the summer league in Long Beach and was the last cut from this year’s roster, although he isn’t considered a long-term solution for the […]
