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...

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...
