It’s quite depressing watching the Lakers fall apart before our eyes. This situation isn’t a good look for those in purple and gold and knowing that they are playing the most disappointing basketball does...

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...

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...

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...

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. ...

With the Lakers blowing their chance to open the gap between themselves and their top competition, they folded in a depressing fourth quarter and allowed the New Orleans Hornets to easily dominate them by shooting 37 free throws. Luckily, the Lakers have a back to back and ready to take on the Warriors. This will be a great opportunity to get over the loss quickly. The Warriors however cannot be t...
