The Lakers six game road trip has come to an end and it was an epic one. Going into this trip, we all thought the team could go 6-0 if things go right for them. With the Boston Celtics coming up against us on the second of a back-to-back, and the Cavs at home with a perfect 23-0 record as our last game was sure to be difficult. Things only got worse though as the trip started. Andrew Bynum went do...

Clever name? I don’t know. I was thinking of the various events in Boston history with some friends, including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Somehow, i turned the Boston Tea Party into the Boston Streak Party, an interesting title representing the Celtics previous 19 game winning streak and 12 game winning streak. Both streaks ended with the Lakers showing who’s boss an...

Tonight is the night. The second of two games against the defending champions and the Lakers first return to Boston. Last time they were in this stadium they lost by far too many points (we won’t mention any numbers). This time around, let’s hope they can manage to play a bit better. When these two teams faced up earlier this season on Christmas Day in Los Angeles, the Lakers came out...

The Los Angeles Lakers are randomly scattered on all the different power rankings. With the various injuries and events recently going down with the Lakers, next week will be even crazier. Kobe and the Lakers managed to go down to the Charlotte Bobcats early last week, but at least they redeemed themselves by going 2-0 thus far on their 6 game road trips with back to back wins over the Wolves and ...

An interesting week. Start things off with a big win over the Cavaliers. Follow it up by Bynum scoring a career high 42 points against the Clippers. Step it up by winning another game the next night against the Wizards. Blowing out the Spurs on Sunday really puts a nice statement on the season for now as the Western Conference race seems to pretty much be over. The Celtics have found their groove ...

The Lakers toughest four game stretch of the season is over. After playing  a back to back in Texas against Houston and San Antonio, then hosting the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers last night, the Lakers are 32-8. They currently site 1/2 a game behind Orlando for the NBA’s best record, and are 1/2 a game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, the game between the Lakers and...

After a great recent stretch for the Lakers of beating the Hornets, Celtics, Blazers, and Jazz, they are the only remaining team in the league with only 5 losses. The Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and even Orlando Magic have managed to lose to sub .500 teams dropping them below the Lakers. The Lakeshow is now in control of their own destiny while the others trail for home court advantage. I...

The Los Angeles Lakers have finally taken over the league. The Lakers started the season 7-0 and 14-1 having the least amount of losses in the league. Things went downhill for a few weeks as the Boston Celtics went on a 19 game winning streak and put together an amazing 27-2 record. The Lakers were the ones who stopped them and the Warriors added another loss the following night to the Celtics los...
