Lakers Extend Skid to 3 Games
Posted on 26 Mar 2013 by Michael Cole.
Most of the game wasn’t that fun to watch… Especially for Laker fans. If you watched the Laker’s game last night, you know of the torture that the team was put through during the first three quarters of the game. The Lakers came into the game currently holding the eight seed in the West and having a two game lead over the Jazz. But with this loss and Utah’s win last night, the Jazz are ...

Kobe enters “mamba-mode” and Leads Lakers to Victory over Mavericks
Posted on 24 Feb 2013 by Michael Cole.
Do you remembers Allen Iverson saying, “Play every game like it’s your last”; well this was that game for Kobe. Almost singlehandedly, Kobe willed the Lakers to victory, finishing with 38 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Many of those points coming in the fourth quarter when Kobe went into “mamba-mode”; carrying the team on his shoulders and willing them to victory. Another player w...

Lakers Extend the Winning Streak to 3 Games
Posted on 30 Jan 2013 by Michael Cole.
If you could describe the game in 5 words… The Kobe Evolution is legit It’s a pretty exciting time for me and all of the other Laker fans in the world. Kobe is turning into an all around player, we have found a temporary solution to the “Gasol conundrum”, and Jamison doesn’t look like he is the oldest player in the world. The win was very big for the Lakers, pushing the win streak to ...

NBA Feeling Lakers’ Pain
Posted on 7 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
“When America sneezes, the world catches cold.” That’s a variant of what Klemens von Metternich wrote about France during the Napoleonic period in the early 1800s.

With his title in tow, LeBron James may be the contented face of the NBA and other clubs can surely pack a punch, but if ...
