Posted on 11 Feb 2013 by Sean Eckhardt.
It's not very often that Kobe Bryant is the third best player on the court, but that was the case on Sunday in Miami. LA came in desperately needing a win and that will pretty much be the case for the rest of the season. Bryant brought a newly armed Laker squad to the AAA, including Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, with the intention of making a statement that he and his team were not done yet...

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. 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 ...

Mike D’Antoni & L.A. Lakers star in The Italian Job
Posted on 18 Nov 2012 by Cal Lee.
Mike D'Antoni will be calling his first game as the head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Phoenix Suns tonight at the Staples Center. 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.

Lakers / Heat Stoke NBA ’12-13
Posted on 16 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Consider this the year of LeBron. Not because he and his Heat team are a lock to repeat as champs in 2013. Au contraire, the new & improved Lakers will have a thing or two to say about who dons that crown come next June. Rather, it’s because this’ll be the first time in his 10-year NBA tenure that Mr. James can actually enjoy himself on a basketball court. Having garnered that elusive c...

Suns Slowly Flaming Out
Posted on 26 Aug 2012 by Thomas Mitchell.
Hello fellow Suns fans. What a hot and miserable summer it has been, in so many senses. Not only did we lose the best Canadian athlete since Wayne Gretzky, we lost him to those entitled chumps in Los Angeles. What's even more disappointing is that any rational fan couldn't blame Nash for leaving, he was getting diminishing returns from the team every year despite his stellar play. He voiced his...

Posted on 5 Jul 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The 4th of July started with rumors of Steve Nash heading to the New York Knicks in a sign and trade deal that involved Iman Shumpert. The day ended with Nash actually involved in a sign and trade to the Los Angeles Lakers for a bag of chips and some cash. Cynicism aside, the details of the deal are Nash to the Lakers for their first round picks in 2013 & 2015 , their second round picks in ...

Which Sun Can We See In Thunder?
Posted on 7 Mar 2012 by Steven Jones.
The NBA trade deadline is a week away, and everyone with a blog or a microphone knows what the Oklahoma City Thunder need. They only lack a low-post scorer, says Charles Barkley. Maybe a knock-down shooter, opines Bill Simmons. A more unselfish point guard is the elixir, claims a vocal minority of the blogosphere. Tonight's come-from-behind victory over the Phoenix Suns gave Thunder observers a...
