As I mentioned earlier, the Lakers face the Hornets tonight. With a 2-0 lead in the season series, the Lakers look to win the third of four games at Staples Center. The Hornets are currently 20-10 with the 2nd best record in the conference. The bad news about having the 2nd best record is that they have 5 losses more than the 1st place team, the Lakers. I sent over a few questions to Ryan of Horne...

Tonight’s opponent: the New Orleans Hornets. The Hornets, led by Chris Paul, Tyson Chandler, and David West come into Los Angeles with the 2nd best record in the Western Conference at 20-10. In the previous two meetings of the season, the Lakers walked away with easy wins and they look to do the same tonight. To prepare for this game, I contacted the great fellas over at Hornets 24/7 and At ...

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, ...

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...

The Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards have made some changes. Not with each other, but through other NBA teams that felt the trades were fair enough to contribute to these two teams. The first trade that went through was by the Washington Wizards and also included the New Orleans Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies. With Gilbert Arenas out of the line up and the team struggling in the Eastern Conferen...

The Los Angeles Lakers are now the only undefeated team in the National Basketball League. Prior to last nights victory over the New Orleans Hornets, the Lakers shared the undefeated title with the Atlanta Hawks. Yes, the Hawks, that team in the Eastern Conference that hasn’t done anything in years. The 6-0 Hawks faced the Boston Celtics last night in Boston and thought that they were ready ...

As the Lakers go for a 7-0 start, they face the New Orleans Hornets, in New Orleans, who have every intention of breaking them down. The Hornets are looking like the 2nd best team in the Western Conference at the moment and want to make sure to provide the Lakers everything they can handle. My quick prediction: The Lakers will dominate this game by coming out strong and proving that they are the b...

Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that James Posey has agreed to terms with the New Orleans Hornets. The proposed deal is supposedly a four year contract worth $25 million. The Hornets were able to acquire the services of Posey simply based on the fact that no other team was willing to offer the forward a four year contract. At age 31, Posey will play through his mid 30’s with this contract...

The Los Angeles Lakers claimed their spot in the Western Conference Finals last week on friday night at Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The series between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers was a rather intense one and provided for plenty of excitement. Throughout the series there were many issues that came up for both sides, particularly that of the officiating at the two differ...
