I’m not going to lie, this game concerns me some. The Lakers are undoubtedly playing very good basketball since returning from the All-Star break, looking refreshed mentally and physically. Their offense is humming and their commitment to defense is strong (despite the shootout with the Wolves on Tuesday). The Hornets, however, are also playing well, […]

I’m going to keep this brief because, as it does sometimes, life has me a time crunch. The Lakers blasted the Warriors on Monday night, giving them their 2nd straight blowout win over the Dubs and has them generating some momentum out of the All-Star break after beating the Pacers last Friday. Tonight, the Timberwolves […]

We’re only a game removed from the All-Star break, but the Lakers are even more banged up than what they were a week ago. In a very good win against the Pacers on Friday, the Lakers lost Alex Caruso to a mild concussion after he banged his head on the ground diving for a loose […]

I’ve no clue what to expect from the Lakers tonight when they return to action vs. the Pacers after a much needed 9 days off over the All-Star break. LeBron James tells us “it’s go time” for him and that he expects to begin his ramp up for the playoffs now. So, that’s good news. […]

Whatever momentum the Lakers had heading into Tuesday’s game vs. the Suns was lost along with the game itself, under a barrage of made 3’s from Phoenix. The Lakers had been playing well, but their defense let them down across the board, from the perimeter to the paint. No one exempt from these issues, but […]

Are the Lakers back? The 4 game losing streak they suffered feels distant now. The 2 recent wins over the Blazers and the Warriors offered a return of what, I think, makes this Lakers team special. The aggressive point of attack defense, the commitment to transition offense, and the constant assault on the rim were […]

The Lakers face off vs. the Warriors on Sunday night, only two days after Dennis Schröder’s return helped the team snap their 4 game losing streak with a win over Portland on Friday. Schröder’s return cannot be overstated in terms of helpfulness and spark provided, and the hope is that he can carry that over […]

I sound like a broken record at this point, I know. The Lakers play the Blazers tonight and, again, it would not surprise me if things do not go well. The Blazers have lost 3 in a row now, but before that they’d won 8 of 9 with two wins over Philly. They’re much closer […]

Look, when the Lakers play the Jazz on Wednesday night I fully expect them to lose. Not only to lose, but to get their asses kicked. The Lakers, as I’ve mentioned multiple times recently, are not good. The Jazz, meanwhile, are playing some of the best basketball in the entire league. Those two things would […]
