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 way the lakers are playing in the last 5 games is disgraceful with the lack of effort being shown on the court. It seems as though they have forgotten to play defense and believe that TO’s count for something positive. In the past 5 losses, the Lakers have accumulated an astronomical 80+ turnovers, thats more than 16 a game. 16+ turnovers a game! During the Lakers 9 game win streak they...

The Lakers are looking tired after losing their second in a row to the Jazz on Tuesday night. In the two losses, they have a combined 39 turnovers, and that’s definitely not championship basketball. They put themselves in a close game against a young Jazz team who didn’t make the playoffs this year and couldn’t pull through. Kobe wasn’t aggressive enough in the first half o...

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...

It’s a clean sweep folks. After a ridiculous 6-0 road trip throughout the Eastern Conference, the analysts unanimiously believe the Lakers are the team to beat. The road trip included wins over the Boston Celtics who were riding a 12 game winning streak and was followed up by a stunning performance in Cleveland ending the Cavaliers 23-0 home game streak. The Lakers also secured tie breakers ...

The Los Angeles Lakers are randomly scattered on all the different power rankings. With the various injuries and events recently going down with the Lakers, next week will be even crazier. Kobe and the Lakers managed to go down to the Charlotte Bobcats early last week, but at least they redeemed themselves by going 2-0 thus far on their 6 game road trips with back to back wins over the Wolves and ...

An interesting week. Start things off with a big win over the Cavaliers. Follow it up by Bynum scoring a career high 42 points against the Clippers. Step it up by winning another game the next night against the Wizards. Blowing out the Spurs on Sunday really puts a nice statement on the season for now as the Western Conference race seems to pretty much be over. The Celtics have found their groove ...

This will be an open thread moving along with the tempo of the game. I will comment on the top plays of the game. Normally, you would see a live blog happening, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to set that up and am limited in availability. As we, the Lakers, take on the San Antonio Spurs for the second time in two weeks, we look for our first win against them. After Boston destroye...

The Lakers toughest four game stretch of the season is over. After playing  a back to back in Texas against Houston and San Antonio, then hosting the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers last night, the Lakers are 32-8. They currently site 1/2 a game behind Orlando for the NBA’s best record, and are 1/2 a game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, the game between the Lakers and...
