My Favorite Playoffs MomentBy Daniel Sagal on May 31st, 2010 | 1 Comment
Usually when one sits down to watch a Lakers game, they prepare themselves for an incredible show by the one and only, Kobe Bryant. This show, however, had a very different feeling to it. At times it felt like a sporting event. At times it felt like a concert. At times it felt like a movie. At times it felt like a commercial. Regardless, I can’t put into words the way I truly feel about this... -

2010 NBA Playoffs: Who Can Stop the Lake Show? Game 2 Suns at LakersBy coachnick on May 22nd, 2010 | No Comments
I couldn’t keep watching this game after the first quarter because the Suns defense is so bad. The two main culprits are Jason Richardson and Amare Stoudemire – if I were Alvin Gentry, I’d bench them for 2 role players that will score 15 points each and play solid team defense. The Lakers have two long forwards who really play defense right – other teams wish they had even ... -
2010 NBA Playoffs: Game 1 Lakers vs. Suns – Kobe and the Lakers Cause Sun Spots for Nash and StoudemireBy coachnick on May 18th, 2010 | No Comments
The Lakers look like the team they were when they were steam rolling the rest of the league earlier this year.
