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.

I have never read a story so well put together, so charmingly written, so sensitively edited, and so TRUE. Bill Simmons has long been my favorite writer as he manages to find a comedic approach to present his case in regards to various sporting events throughout the world. I read them all and always enjoy. This article however, is on an entirely different level of writing. This article exposes the...

So the biggest deal in the NBA today seem to be whether Zydrunas Ilguaskas will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers after sitting out for thirty days. After being traded from the Cavs to the Washington Wizards, as the primary piece of the puzzle to bring on Jamison alongside Lebron James, Ilguaskas has been bought out by the Washington Wizards. According to league rules, he is allowed to openly nego...

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...
