The Los Angeles Lakers have played their first round series practically to perfection thus far. I think they have done a great job at getting the job done and attacking on the offensive end efficiently enough to be able to maintain a strong hold on the defensive end. Many different blogs and news sites have reported on the Lakers various achievements throughout the season, and many have followed a...

What do Kobe Bryant and Kenny Smith have in common?? They both jump over cars, kinda… There isn’t really much more to say, just enjoy and leave some thoughts! Kobe Bryant on TNT after the Lakers beat the Nuggets last night: ...

I have been an athlete my entire life. I have played all the sports available to me, except for hockey, only because it takes a lot of commitment to learn how to ice skate and shoot a puck which is not as easy as it seems. The concept of working my ass off was one that was always at the top of my mind. No matter what you do, not matter what the goal is, if you don’t work hard enough, you won...

The Los Angeles Lakers will once again face the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center tonight for game 2 of round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. The first game was quite interesting in the first half with plenty of lead changes and lots of back and forth action. The Lakers came out much stronger in the 2nd half behind Pau Gasol and a Kobe Bryant that finally started to drop his shot. The Lakers cruised the rem...

The Denver Nuggets have a great collection of amazing fans. Of those fans, many understand the deep rooted concepts of basketball and many just watch to enjoy. Probably the most well rounded and most educated (basketball and possibly medically) Nuggets fan is none other than the self proclaimed “Nugg Doctor” With the highly anticipated Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets match-up fin...

I am a fan of Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, that one guy with the name I can’t pronounce “Shremp?” and George Karl. I am a fan of all those fans who go out to the games on a nightly basis and cheer for the team in their h...

The NBA Playoffs are underway and the Los Angeles Lakers are ready to go. To win the legendary NBA Title, a team needs 16 wins in the playoffs… how hard can that possibly be? Obviously, a lot harder than we thought! The Lakers finished the regular season with the #1 seed in the Western Conference and were assigned the task of taking on the eighth seeded Denver Nuggets in the first round. Wit...

Wow this has been an incredible game so far. The Los Angeles Lakers opened the game with a strong first quarter taking a 10 point lead and then the Denver Nuggets made a quick run to close the quarter and close the lead to four. With the 2nd quarter starting, the Nuggets were still pushing the momentum they built at the end of the 1st and turned the game around giving the Nuggets an 8 point lead. ...

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom knows the top eight teams in Western Conference are fairly evenly matched. The final regular-season standings support that premise. “The eighth seed could have been the first seed. The second seed could have been the seventh seed,” Odom said Saturday after the Lakers completed preparations for their first-round matchup with the...
