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...

As usual, this David Thorpe chat was full of stupid questions and short answers. I really wish he supplied us with some answers that met something once in a while, but I suppose he makes the big bucks to not say much at all. There were only two questions related to what you wanted to see, so let’s keep it at that. Pierre (Sacramento): Hey Dave, Merry X-mas to you and yours. I was watching a ...

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...

The following are the questions and answers related to the Los Angeles Lakers asked during today’s chat on ESPN.com with Chad Ford. JSJ: Chad, with Odom’s struggles and the LAKERS hole at their starting SF spot, is there a chance we see them move Lamar (& his expiring contract) for a better fit at the 3 spot like Gerald Wallace, Mike Miller, or Tayshaun Prince? The LAKERS need a be...

Tonight is the final game before the highly anticipated Christmas Day game agains the Boston Celtics. This four game road trip has been disastorous and not a single fan can be happy how it’s gone. The trip started off with back to back losses in Florida to the Heat and the Magic. After a day off the Lakers faced the Memphis Grizzlies last night and were barely able to pull out a win. To me, ...

It has been reported that Jordan Farmar has met with doctors in LA and has been recommended to have surgery performed on his knee. With a torn meniscus in his knee, Jordan was forced to sit out the last two games and will also sit out tonight’s game against the New Orleans Hornets. Phil Jackon had his comments regarding the injury. He has made it known that he personaly believes Jordan shoul...

As the season progresses, the Lakers seem to be progressively playing worse. Everytime they have a challenge, they fold. The only really impressive recent victory came over the New York Knicks last week. Besides that, the two losses to the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic were both inexcusable. The following are the ranking that each site gave the Lakers and the short explanation: ESPN.com - 3rd - Get...

I have been following the career of Jordan Farmar since his early days in middle school. I am one year younger than him and have been in school with him for most of my life. Starting off the the playgrounds in 6th grade and watching him become the best player in LA City while he was a senior at Taft High School, I enjoyed watching him progress from childhood playground baller to teenage scoring st...

The following is a direct excerpt from Lakers.com: “Lakers guard Jordan Farmar suffered an injury to his left knee in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game in Miami. Farmar had an MRI on Saturday in Orlando, which showed a tear of the lateral meniscus in his left knee. He will fly back to L.A. on Sunday where he will undergo examination by team doctors on Monday. The team will issue an...
