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 Lakers had a chance to pretty much wrap up the series by winning game four on the road in New Orleans. They could’ve been up 3-1 going back home but they for some reason were not motivated enough to get it done. They now face an uphill battle since the Hornets now have enough confidence knowing that they can compete with the two-time defending champs. Chris Paul had a monster game despit...

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 way the lakers are playing in the last 5 games is disgraceful with the lack of effort being shown on the court. It seems as though they have forgotten to play defense and believe that TO’s count for something positive. In the past 5 losses, the Lakers have accumulated an astronomical 80+ turnovers, thats more than 16 a game. 16+ turnovers a game! During the Lakers 9 game win streak 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 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...

The key to this series rests on who is going to be tougher, who is going to get down and dirty, and who’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. Kobe and Pau Gasol have gained a leg up on the big 3 and Rajon Rondo. But this series is far from over. ...
