The BUCK FOSTON campaign continues! With the Lakers beating the Celtics in Game 1 by 13 points and leading by as many as 20 in the 3rd quarter, the boys in Purple and Gold are ready for Game 2. There are many things to look forward to in this game, but one of those may be the much anticipated technical foul against Kendrick Perkins that will sideline him for Game 3. Also, keep an eye out on Rashee...

The Lakers look like the team they were when they were steam rolling the rest of the league earlier this year. They don’t need to run much of their offense, since they can get the ball to the post so easily. Robin Lopez is a game changer, and needs to play much more. He had a +2 point differential – which is next to impossible for a starter on a team that lost by 21 points. ...

Today the official schedules for the 2009-2010 NBA season were released. This announcement is particularly exciting because it gives us fans an early look at which opponents our favorite teams will be facing and when.  You can find the Lakers schedule released by the NBA. Because the regular season is 82 games long and most of us have lives outside of our NBA fanaticism, it’s difficult to catch...

Alright, NOW I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it all. The Lakers were a great team last year. They won the NBA Championship. With that said, there were very few interviews that took place that were “fun” with the exception of one or two about Lamar’s candy eating habits. Now that the infamous Ron Artest has joined the Lakers, the team will not only be very good on the court,...

This is a great video that I found posted on the Lakers official website. The cameras followed Ron Artest the entire day from the moment he arrived at the Lakers practice facility in El Segundo, to the moment he left. It was clearly a crazy day for him including meeting many staff members present at the facility, going through a photo session, answering questions for the media, signing his contrac...

It’s official. The Los Angeles Lakers have signed Ron Artest and resigned Shannon Brown. The press conference with Ron Artest and Mitch Kupchak took place today. Artest will wear jersey number 37. Where did this number come from? The story goes as follows: Artest opened up the number game to his fans. They posted various numbers and the lucky fan that won was the one that picked #37. Why was...

The Lakers are set to play the Houston Rockets tonight to start off a very tough portion of their season. The upcoming stretch will most likely be the toughest four game stretch of the season as the Lakers face the Rockets, Spurs, Magic, and Cavaliers. Once again, I contacted one of the great SB Nation blogs, this time The Dream Shake, a Houston Rockets blog. They have a great site and a loyal fan...

The small forward position has evolved over the years to become completely different than it’s original intent. I strongly believe that the shooting guard and the small forward spot have switched. In fact, every position has just become one based on size and not ability. As the position rises from the 1 spot to the 5 spot, the size of the player grows as well. Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, ...

Sharim Abdur-Rahim of the Sacramento Kings has announced that he will be retiring from the NBA due to a persistent right knee injury. The Kings have filed with the NBA to try and get the salary of Abdur-Rahim wiped off the books for this season. Unfortunately, it is unclear whether the request will go through because the retirement takes place so close to the start of the upcoming season. If the l...
