Barnes’ “Perfect Game” lifts Lakers over T-Wolves
Posted on 20 Nov 2010 by Tim Lewis.
Matt Barnes scored 24 points on 7-7 shooting to go along with 7 rebounds and 6 assists as the Lakers completed their 3 game Eastern Conference sweep with a 112-95 win over Minnesota. Barnes' “perfect game” included 5-5 from 3 and 5-5 from the line in just under 24 minutes off the bench. In the last 25 years, only Charles Barkley and Gary Payton have had at least 20 points, 5 reb...

My Favorite Number of the Young Season: 33.4
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Donovan Williams.
33.4. What is that? What does that number represent? Why is it important? 33.4 is the average number of minutes played per game by one Kobe Bryant. That is on average, 5.4 fewer minutes per game #24 is playing this year in comparison to last year. There is plenty to like about that number. It means that we will have a fresher Kobe Bryant come June. It means that the Lakers are taking care of bu...

Lakers Need to Feel Challenged
Posted on 15 Nov 2010 by Donovan Williams.
Typical of the Lakers to get lethargic in the regular season. I won't say they are not trying, but they know there is nothing to play for as of yet. It doesn't mean they don't care. Because you know they do. Lamar's T at the end of the Suns game is a reflection of that. But we all see the slow rotations on defense. The settling for the 3 point shot. It's nothing new for us Laker fans. I am sure...

Lakeshow Hiccups
Posted on 15 Nov 2010 by Arthur Kai.
So week 3 was unkind to the two-time defending champs, as they lose two straight to end the week. Sitting at 8-2 is clearly an unfortunate issue that any other team in the league (except the Hornets 8-0) would love to have. Realistically last week's mishaps or lets call them hiccups, are the exact reason why it's so hard to win 70 plus games in a season. The Mamba and Co. started of the week wi...

Nuggets Rally to deal Lakers first loss, 118-112
Posted on 12 Nov 2010 by Tim Lewis.
It was only a matter of time before the Lakers lost their first game and when you consider they way they have been playing over their previous four, this one was a long time coming. Over the last week, the Lakers struggled to beat Toronto at home, blew out the Blazers with a hobbled Brandon Roy, narrowly escaped with a home win over the lowly Timberwolves, and finally got what they deserved ...

Screw 73 Wins, Show Me the Larry O’Brien Trophy
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Donovan Williams.
There's been a lot of talk over the past week about whether or not the Lakers can reach 73 wins, surpassing the '95-'96 Bulls. Who cares? I don't. The NBA regular season is as worthless as baseball's. Think about it. There are 30 teams in the league and 16 of them will make the playoffs. What a joke. That's like having half of all the Division I NCAA football teams attend a bowl…oh wait, ...

Lakeshow Clockwork
Posted on 9 Nov 2010 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers roll into week 3, undefeated and clicking on all cylinders. Off to a 7-0 start (the best record in the NBA), the attention has shifted from the “Superfriends” in Miami to the two-time defending champions as the team possibly capable of reaching 70 plus wins. Although the talk of 72 wins is premature, subconscious speculation points out how good this Lakers sq...

Lakers Collect Rings and The “W” On Opening Night
Posted on 27 Oct 2010 by Arthur Kai.
The Lakers saw their Tuesday night begin with an innovative ring ceremony, followed by a hard fought opening night win against the Houston Rockets 112-110. Led by Kobe Bryant's 27 point effort and Pau Gasol's 29 points and 11 rebounds, the Lakers were able to make up for a slow start as they began their title defense with a L.A. type of dramatic flare. Adding to the dramatics of the season ope...

Lakers add Barnes
Posted on 25 Jul 2010 by Bryan Gravener.
After a nice season with the Orlando Magic and becoming a free agent this summer, Matt Barnes has found his way to the defending champion Lakers' roster. Barnes played in 81 games for Orlando last season, averaging 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Obviously it looks like Barnes will be a bench contributor, but L.A. prides itself in making good moves during the offseason (just look at ...

Lakers keep D-Fish
Posted on 18 Jul 2010 by Bryan Gravener.
After winning the NBA title in back to back years, the Los Angeles Lakers are making sure that the offseason doesn't become a game of Let's Make a Deal. With Phil Jackson's decision still not etched in stone and Kobe Bryant pushing 32 years of age, the Lakers re-signed wiley veteran Derek Fisher on to his 15th NBA season. Considering health concerns of Andrew Bynum and a bench that can be q...

Laker Fans-Don’t Worry We’ve Been Here Before
Posted on 27 May 2010 by Danny Shapiro.
The Zone!! Not the Zone Defense!!! Seriously? That’s what people are talking about? That the Suns barely won two games at home, shot 40+ more Free Throws than LA in their two wins, got 54 points from the bench in Game 4, and we want to talk about the Suns Defense? What games are people watching? With the exception of Game Four’s 4th Quarter that saw the Suns go on a 18-3 run we have seen ...
