Why waste time — who do you have in your Final Four? I’ve got Florida, Kansas, Georgetown and Texas A&M, with Kansas beating A&M in the finals. There is no shortage of information on college teams out on the Web, but if you want some of the stats I use here to help with your […]

The Kevin Garnett Blogger Derby
What would, or should, the Lakers offer to get KG? It’s a question the Lakers could face this summer, because it’s not hard to see Garnett finally going to management and asking out. I still doubt he does it, but it could happen. So, what would you give up? I’m asking because this blog has […]
Preview & Chat: The Dallas Mavericks
Lakers are back home. Since the team on the court has been hard to watch of late, maybe we should just focus on the top 10 Laker fans in the crowd. It was the best of times. Back in January, the Lakers played maybe their best game of the season, going on a late 10-4 […]
Short Term Fixes
The Lakers need a rainout. But since even Crash Davis can’t get the Lakers one, the team is looking at a couple other ideas, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Sherridan (insider). Let’s take a quick look at them. One, starting Kwame over Bynum. “Andrew didn’t get anything accomplished out there tonight,” Jackson said. “Andrew needs to […]

The Kobe question. With the roster around him depleted and inconsistent, how long does he continue to show the trust in his teammates as he has all season? How long before he reverts to last season’s Kobe just to win games? I don’t really have an answer for that, but Phil Jackson has said Kobe […]
First Draft Thought
Since last night’s game is not worth discussing on any level, and others already are doing a great job finding the video evidence to question the Kobe suspension, I figured this was a good time to look ahead a little and see who the people who follow this stuff have the Lakers taking in the […]
No Kobe, the Milwaukee Bucks and Frustration
Tonight could get ugly — Kobe has been suspended for tonight’s game by the league for the play on Jaric. While we could well argue that the league should just allow people to hit Jaric (Clipper fans will back that up), there was little doubt this was going to come down today. This play was […]

What’s up with Luke? Turns out he has tendonitis in his ankle. In a radio interview this morning (one that was a classic example of why it is hard to listen to sports talk radio in LA) he said he was relieved by the diagnosis because it could have been worse. Don’t expect him back […]
Fast Break Thoughts
Lots of notes and random thoughts in a grab bag today: • We learn the fate of Lamar Odom today, and there will be an update here as soon as word comes down. That said, I’m not optimistic, and neither is the Will Carroll, who made a comment here: Unfortunately, I don’t have the same […]
Preview & Chat: The Phoenix Suns
Who gets the playing time with Odom out? Odom is out for at least this four game road trip, so who gets the minutes? It will depend on the matchups, but with Cook the only healthy four (and he plays more like a three) I would expect Phil to try to go small more, maybe […]
