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...

The BUCK FOSTON campaign continues! With the Lakers beating the Celtics in Game 1 by 13 points and leading by as many as 20 in the 3rd quarter, the boys in Purple and Gold are ready for Game 2. There are many things to look forward to in this game, but one of those may be the much anticipated technical foul against Kendrick Perkins that will sideline him for Game 3. Also, keep an eye out on Rashee...

Today the official schedules for the 2009-2010 NBA season were released. This announcement is particularly exciting because it gives us fans an early look at which opponents our favorite teams will be facing and when.  You can find the Lakers schedule released by the NBA. Because the regular season is 82 games long and most of us have lives outside of our NBA fanaticism, it’s difficult to catch...

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...

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...

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...

After completing four lists ranking the top ten point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, and power forwards as they are expected to perform in the upcoming season, I am left with only one list, the list of top ten centers. The list of players that I used in order to compile stats comes from ESPN.com. Unfortunately, during my down time in between writing the power forwards article and the cen...
