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. In the same vane, when the Los Angeles Lakers are under-the-weather all of basketball feels a tad queasy. 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 ...

Posted on 19 Dec 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers managed to narrowly escape the Staples Center last night with a 101-100 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although he has been with the team since last Thursday, Tuesday night's game was the first he was able to coach from the bench, due to him recovering from knee replacement surgery he had two weeks prior to him taking over the reigns of the Lakeshow. Iro...

The expectations of success for the embattled head coach will be at its highest since his hiring was looked at as a means for Jim Buss to snub legendary head coach Phil Jackson over coaching this talented squad. Everyone in the NBA community knew the ...

On Sunday night, you saw the potential of what type of ...

Thunder Blow Lakers Out of OKC
Posted on 22 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presti famously learned his craft as an underling for the San Antonio Spurs. R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich, among others, taught Presti how to thoughtfully construct a team. When given his own team, Presti ingrained the Spurs Code, got lucky with a few ping-pong balls, and set about building his house from the foundation up. Now, he gets to test his te...

Game 2 Slips Through Lakeshow Fingers
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers squandered a huge opportunity to steal Game 2 on the road, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 77-75. Up by seven points with 2 minutes left in a gritty matchup, the Lakers allowed the Thunder to go on an 8-0, thanks to turnovers, a Black Mamba disappearing act to end the ball game, and Steve Blake's Derek Fisher impersonation gone wrong (missing a 3-point attempt that wo...
