For my first post in god knows how long, I’m here watching the game breaking down specific plays and analyzing their effects. Lakers win the tip and push the ball inside to give Bynum a chance to get going early. Pau Gasol is called for a three second violation, which has been happening far too often recently. The Lakers need better communication in the post between the bigs to make sure th...

Hello ALL!!! After what has been one of the most hectic times of my life, I am back! It has been a while since I’ve been able to post on here myself and luckily I’ve had some great contributors recently. Now that life has calmed down a little bit, I am ready to provide as much content as possible. As always, I am still very interested in having anyone interested in joining me to contri...

Are you an NBA fan? Are you a Lakers fan? PERFECT!!! This is where you want to be. Due to the recent events that have taken place with LABallTalk.com, including the founder, writer, author, editor, and anything else that has to do with the site, ME, contributing all of his time to the efforts of building Sasha Vujacic’s official site, LABallTalk.com has seen a very big decline in content. Th...

As I have been giving this site my all for the last year and a half, I have hit a bit of a dry spell in the last several weeks. Many of you know that I have committed lots of my time to building Sasha Vujacic’s official site and contribute on a regular basis. Due to various obstacles in life, such as a failing economy and endless midterms, I have not been able to post articles as of late. I ...

Pau Gasol has been selected as the Western Conference Player of the Month for the month of February. The award is presented by Kia Motors and Gasol really did everything necessary to earn it in February. By taking over in the time that Andrew Bynum went down, Gasol has helped the Lakers go 11-3 and improve their standings in the Western Conference. The Lakers have really played on a different leve...

This week has been the toughest thus far for the Lakers post Bynum injury. They won 11 of their first 12 without the big center but have hit a wall. They have lost their last two games to the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. Kobe and Pau have played solid throughout all this however the bench has not been as successful. The Lakers role players have really struggled over the last few games and have...

The All Star break passed and the Lakers still sit where they did prior to it. They are currently ranked #1 in all of the power rankings around the league including ESPN, Sports Illustrates, NBA.com and USA Today. It’s a real pleasure to see them playing this well, especially without Andrew Bynum. Los Angeles has dominated in the month of February and especially in the last week. Pau Gasol i...

The All Star break is over and the Lakers are clearly ready to go to work. There is nothing standing in their way at this point and they will do whatever it takes to win the title. Coming out of the All Star weekend in which Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Derek Fisher participated, the team was fresh and ready to go. Lamar Odom definitely got his much needed rest and Sasha Vujacic took a quick trip d...

The Los Angeles Lakers have announced a trade involving little used back up center Chris Mihm. In their second deal over the last two years, the Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to swap Chris Mihm for a conditional 2nd round pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Chris Mihm played well for the Lakers in 2005 when Shaq was no longer a part of the team, but slowly lost his spot as Andrew Bynum saw more...
