So the NBA season is once again nearing that point when the top eight sides from the two Conferences (the Eastern and Western ones) progress from these to compete in the knockout play-off tournament, to see who will win the NBA title. A lot of people will have waited until now to put a bet on which team they think will win the NBA, because this provides a better opportunity to see how they are per...

After the first 24 minutes of the NBA season, the Lakers seem to have their gears turning in sync but it is evident that they need to fine tune what will no doubt be a well oiled machine after a few weeks. Having Pau Gasol feed Dwight from the high post along with beautiful bounce passes on the pick and roll from Steve Nash is a dream come true for the man child known as “superman”. ...

The Summer of 2012 has already brought plenty of joy and pleasure to Lakers fans. Few things can be better than enjoying a few drinks with friends, hanging by the pool, celebrating our Nation’s Independence and all of the sudden finding out that Steve Nash is the newest Laker. Steve Nash isn’t just a Lakers though. He isn’t just our starting point guard. He isn’t just the b...

The Lakers have gotten to a good start in the 2012 playoffs. They have taken advantage of home court, going up 2-0 against the sixth seeded nuggets.

Most recently, Coach K is the all time winningest college coach, we tragically lost two Oklahoma State coaches, Jesus is now openly a Broncos fan, child sex abuse has stigmatized two big time college programs meaning Sandusky and Fine are no longer two overlooked coaches. What strikes me where it hurts most is the declaiming...

The NFL lockout is officially over after 18 weeks of chaos, but as most people knew, the odds football would be back was a lot greater than basketball. Jokes have been flying around about how the NBA won’t be back until 2012 or 2013 but we certainly believe and hope that that won’t be the case. As of now, the players have a 57% right to total NBA revenues and when they offered to r...

Who would’ve thought that this Lakers team would lose their first two games at home? Who thought that they would have their backs against the wall against an old Mavericks team? It’s quite depressing watching the Lakers fall apart before our eyes. This situation isn’t a good look for those in purple and gold and knowing that they are playing the most disappointing basketball does...

About time! It may have taken them six games but all that matters is that they got it done. The Lakers finally showed up in games five and six and dominated like they know how. You sensed the Lakers thought they would cruise through the Hornets the way they came out in game one but as the series went on they came out with more and more urgency. They actually decided to wake up,stretch their limb...
