It’s as simple as that. Kobe went Kobe on them. Yes, you read that right, he went Kobe on them. What does it mean to go Kobe on them? Simple. It’s when a guy name Kobe Bryant plays consistently throughout the game, dishes out 13 assists, pulls in 7 rebounds, and when the game is on the line, makes a fade away jumper. Hopefully that explains it better. If not, you can take a look at how...

Last night was just another typical Lakers game. The game gets under way, they instantly fall behind by about 6 points and can’t seemingly run any offense while the Warriors run fastbreaks to perfection. The game slows down a bit, the Lakers find their rhythm, and so long to the Warriors. Golden State fans took their seats and stayed very quiet for the next 10 minutes until the Lakers were d...

It’s been a while since I last hosted a live blog but I’m looking forward to getting back into them. To be honest, I’ve been forced to miss a lot of games this season so it makes it a bit difficult to host a live blog when you watch the game recorded about 12 hours later. Either way, without any further introduction, here is the live blog for the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the ...

After putting together a review of 2008 for each Lakers player, I’m now prepared to put together new year’s resolutions. What should each player look to do better in the coming year is the question at hand. I hope that I have the answers. Trevor Ariza - Trevor is obviously the best slasher we have and his passing is becoming a lot more crisp as well. The part of his game that can reall...

Eric, Redlands: David, Why do you think Kobe doesn’t amass more assists, given his more unselfish play the last 1 1/2 seasons? I watch a lot of Laker games and he seems to find open teamates a lot. What’s the deal? David Thorpe: It’s a great question, because I agree with you that he often finds guys impressively. I think he is just such a special scorer that he can always creat...

The 2008 calendar year is coming to and end and this is a great time to review the various accomplishments of the Lakers players. The purpose of this article is to go down the list, review the stats of each player from the end of last season to the first third of this season, and summarize what the year has been like. Trevor Ariza – Trevor joined the Lakers midway through last season when th...

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...

Without Pau Gasol in the line up due to strep throat, the Lakers found themselves down 15 points at halftime. No, they weren’t playing the Celtics, they were playing the New York Knicks. Yes, its true, the Knicks are a lot better then they were last year, but they are still sub .500 and don’t deserve to score 65 points in the first half at Staples Center. As of late, the Lakers defense...

This Thanksgiving I sit around and gather my thoughts… what am I truly thankful for this year? With an economy that has gone to shit, a family life that has fallen apart, and a love life that has been full of drama, there are truly only two things I am thankful for. The first is of course my friends. The people that I see everyday and make memories with on a daily basis. There is always some...
