The Lakers had a chance to pretty much wrap up the series by winning game four on the road in New Orleans. They could’ve been up 3-1 going back home but they for some reason were not motivated enough to get it done. They now face an uphill battle since the Hornets now have enough confidence knowing that they can compete with the two-time defending champs. Chris Paul had a monster game despit...

Put all worries to rest as the Lakers won their first game of the 2011 playoffs at home on Wednesday night. In game one they played no defense and let the Hornets pick and roll their way to victory but i guess Phil really handed it to them after because they actually played big in game two. The Lakers’ big men used their size and length effectively this game on both ends of the court. They...

Everyone thought the Lakers would demolish the Hornets, especially since their all-star, David West, is out for the playoffs. You’d think the Lakers and their size would prove to be too much for the undersized Hornets but that did not prove to be the case. You’d think the Lakers’ bigs would dominate the paint both offensively and defensively. You’d think that this game woul...

The way the lakers are playing in the last 5 games is disgraceful with the lack of effort being shown on the court. It seems as though they have forgotten to play defense and believe that TO’s count for something positive. In the past 5 losses, the Lakers have accumulated an astronomical 80+ turnovers, thats more than 16 a game. 16+ turnovers a game! During the Lakers 9 game win streak they...

The Lakers are looking tired after losing their second in a row to the Jazz on Tuesday night. In the two losses, they have a combined 39 turnovers, and that’s definitely not championship basketball. They put themselves in a close game against a young Jazz team who didn’t make the playoffs this year and couldn’t pull through. Kobe wasn’t aggressive enough in the first half o...

The Lakers persist to do what they do best after trumping the Mavericks 110-82 on national television in what proved to be quite an entertaining game despite the blowout. The first half was exciting and had a playoff atmosphere with both teams going at it back and forth with constant lead changes. There was an edge to both teams knowing that this game was for 2nd place in the Western Conference. A...

The Lakers have a nice flow going since the all-star break, winning 15 of their last 16 after losing 3 in a row including a loss at Cleveland. They really have bounced back for the spring time looking unstoppable with Kobe making sure he gets his votes for MVP. The rest of the starters are playing well, especially Andrew Bynum who’s looking fit for the playoffs putting up double-doubles in 6...

Even though the boys in Vegas are slating the Miami Heat as the team to beat in NBA Championship betting with +170 odds to win, the team that the sharps and the handicappers are relying on are the Los Angeles Lakers at +300. One thing about Miami’s number you have to keep in mind is that it’s not just based on the talent of LeBron, Dwyane and Bosh – it’s also based a little bit on fear and...
