The Lakers take on the Kings tonight and, after an unfortunate toe injury in his debut vs. the Bucks on Wednesday, Andre Drummond will not play. With Drummond out, we’re about to see the same Lakers we’ve seen since Gasol returned from COVID, which will be a useful group, but one that will be offensively […]

Lakers Game Preview: The Milwaukee Bucks
I’m not sure how many of you are parents, but there’s a moment of both excitement and real fear when your baby starts to crawl. You’re so thrilled at the prospect of this incremental step in their development, only to also have a fear set in when you realize that your baby can now move […]

Andre Drummond is officially a member of the Lakers now, signing his deal on Sunday after clearing waivers earlier in the day. Drummond went out his business of winning the press conference on Monday, saying all the right things about his excitement about joining the team and how he envisions contributing, particularly on defense.

Lakers will Reportedly Sign Andre Drummond
After snapping their 4 game losing streak by beating the Cavaliers on Friday, the Lakers are going to get former Cav Andre Drummond in the buyout market per reporting from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski: Getting Drummond without having to give up anything off your roster is, to put it mildly, a very good thing.

Lakers Game Preview: The Philadelphia 76ers
I’ve not written a game preview in a couple of days for a few reasons, but a key one is because I wanted to see if my initial thoughts on what this team would look like with LeBron joining AD out injured were confirmed or not. Turns out, they have been so far. The Lakers […]

On Losing LeBron James
LeBron James is out indefinitely after suffering a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s loss to the surging Hawks. Solomon Hill clipped his leg when trying dive for the ball and Bron crumpled to the floor in pain, yelling in a way I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll make no judgment here on Hill’s play, […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Atlanta Hawks
Two of the hotter teams in the league will face off today when the Lakers play the Hawks at STAPLES. Only the Bucks have a winning streak (5) as long as the Lakers (4) or the Hawks (7) in the NBA right now, so I expect a good game — particularly as both teams continue […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Charlotte Hornets

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, […]
Lakers Game Preview: The Minnesota Timberwolves
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 […]
