The NFL lockout is officially over  after 18 weeks of chaos, but as most people knew, the odds football would be back was a lot greater than basketball. Jokes have been flying around about how the NBA won’t be back until 2012 or 2013 but we certainly believe and hope that that won’t be the case. As of now, the players have a 57% right to total NBA revenues and when they offered  to r...

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...

Everyone thought the Lakers would demolish the Hornets, especially since their all-star, David West, is out for the playoffs. You’d think the Lakers and their size would prove to be too much for the undersized Hornets but that did not prove to be the case. You’d think the Lakers’ bigs would dominate the paint both offensively and defensively. You’d think that this game woul...

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 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...
