Who would’ve thought that this Lakers team would lose their first two games at home? Who thought that they would have their backs against the wall against an old Mavericks team? It’s quite depressing watching the Lakers fall apart before our eyes. This situation isn’t a good look for those in purple and gold and knowing that they are playing the most disappointing basketball does...

About time! It may have taken them six games but all that matters is that they got it done. The Lakers finally showed up in games five and six and dominated like they know how. You sensed the Lakers  thought they would cruise through the Hornets the way they came out in game one but as the series went on they came out with more and more urgency. They actually decided to wake up,stretch their limb...

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...

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...

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...

Tonight is the night. Rematch! The Los Angeles Lakers host the Miami Heat at Staples Center. The Lakers will be rocking their special Sunday white home jerseys and the Heat will be in their away red. This game will see plenty of firepower as the best player on the best team in Kobe Bryant will face up against the leagues leading scorer Dwyane Wade. Last time these teams met was just a few weeks ag...
