January 1, 2018 by Pete Zayas

The Los Angeles Lakers have been difficult to watch with Lonzo Ball out of the lineup, and both they and the Houston Rockets entered New Year’s Eve on 5-game losing streaks. Despite being without Ball, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Brook Lopez, the Lakers mustered up an energetic performance before falling in double overtime, 148-142. In this […]

Lakers Data Report: Rockets Game

January 1, 2018 by Cranjis McBasketball

It’s been… a while since we’ve had a Lakers data report. If you wish to see the data for any specific game, you can always take a look at the Laker Game Data spreadsheet I use to obtain the information used in these reports. But new year, new Cranjis. LA finished their 2017 year with […]

The Lakers face the Rockets tonight, in a battle of the losing streaks. Both teams have lost five straight. One of them will drag a six game trail of futility into 2018. Houston went from the best team in basketball to a dumpster fire over the last five games. A loss to the Lakers will […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are normally excellent at switching on screens, but the Houston Rockets are uniquely equipped to attack that. In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look at how Houston utilized their numerous shot creators to render that strategy ineffective, what the Lakers tried to do to counter that, and […]

In a game that was likely lost the moment the schedule came out, the Los Angeles Lakers (8-15) dropped their 5th straight contest to the visiting Houston Rockets (18-4), 118-95. After arriving in Los Angeles around 1:00am last night on the heels of a deflating loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers got off to […]
