Unfortunately, Mr. Chad Ford was only willing to get through one Lakers related question today, and it wasn’t even directly related to the Lakers. O’ well, here it is anyway. Rodney-O (Fresno, CA): Wat’s crakin’C-Ford? Wat is your opinion on Hollinger seating the Lakers as #3 in his rankings I mean come on I know they fumbled the ball a little so to speak and lost 5 games b...

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a big week this week and are now 25-5. They have proven everyone wrong and have proven to themselves that they can beat the best. Christmas Day was a date marked on their calendars long ago. The rematch with the Boston Celtics was something every Lakers fan drooled about since we lost to the men in green in last year’s finals. The 39 point defeat was difficult...

Every once in a while, die hard fans are forced to not only cheer for their own team, but cheer against the other teams. Often, cheering against other teams even takes place when youre team isn’t the one playing them. For example, the Boston Celtics came into Los Angeles on Christmas Day with a 19 game winning streak, an NBA record making 27-2 win-loss record, and a head up high attitude. Th...

As usual, this David Thorpe chat was full of stupid questions and short answers. I really wish he supplied us with some answers that met something once in a while, but I suppose he makes the big bucks to not say much at all. There were only two questions related to what you wanted to see, so let’s keep it at that. Pierre (Sacramento): Hey Dave, Merry X-mas to you and yours. I was watching a ...

First off, I’d like to wish everyone a great holiday season. To all that are celebrating, Merry Christmas! The day has finally come. We have all been waiting for this for so damn long. The last time the Lakers played the Boston Celtics, Doc Rivers became the first NBA Head Coach to have Gatorade poured all over him and the Lakers left Boston with a 42 point loss feeling like there was no pur...

Tonight is the final game before the highly anticipated Christmas Day game agains the Boston Celtics. This four game road trip has been disastorous and not a single fan can be happy how it’s gone. The trip started off with back to back losses in Florida to the Heat and the Magic. After a day off the Lakers faced the Memphis Grizzlies last night and were barely able to pull out a win. To me, ...

ESPN has JA Adande working a chat room with many NBA fans on their website. Most of you know these chats take place on a daily basis with all the various NBA analysts employed by ESPN. Today’s chat featured Adande, a former Lakers analyst with the Los Angeles Times. The following are the questions and answers that were regarding the Lakers. Michael Oakland, ca: True or False: Trevor Ariza is...

It’s been hovering over the Lakers since last year’s loss to the Boston Celtics in the finals. Are the Lakers tough enough? I think so, allow me to explain… Here is an e-mail I recently got from reader Greg: I saw how Boston and Detroit beat us, we need a foward with toughness and a bit of scoring to replace Radmanovic  someone like Haslem from Miami, or we will repeat last year...

The Los Angeles Lakers are now the only undefeated team in the National Basketball League. Prior to last nights victory over the New Orleans Hornets, the Lakers shared the undefeated title with the Atlanta Hawks. Yes, the Hawks, that team in the Eastern Conference that hasn’t done anything in years. The 6-0 Hawks faced the Boston Celtics last night in Boston and thought that they were ready ...
