In last night’s game against the Houston Rockets, Kobe Bryant recorded his 18th triple-double of his veteran career. Not only was the Black Mamba being his usual self being a scorer and hitting the most difficult shots, but he was also grabbing rebounds and dishing out assists. Most of his assists came from Dwight Howard being active and catching Kobe’s lobs.
When the Dwight...

Video: Kobe Bryant’s no-look dish to Dwight Howard for the slam
Tweet The Los Angeles Lakers are finally on a roll. The high-profile team has gone 4-1 since firing head coach Mike Brown, and appear to be playing with a lot more energy since scrapping the Princeton offense and just playing basketball.

D'Antoni's gone, but the offense is here
LOS ANGELES Ten games into the season, it's probably safe to say that the Lakers have arrived. Or they've returned, depending upon your point of view.

Andrew Bynum Has Setback on Return
Howard Smith-US PRESSWIRE
Though his hairstyles are continuing to get more and more interesting, Philadelphia 76ers fans won’t be very pleased that they may have to wait even longer to see their star center in Andrew Bynum to make his debut with the team. The All-Star center recently told the Associated Press that he suffered a “setback” on his return date to the court...
Will Dwight Howard get in trouble for pulling a Rondo wearing upside down NBA logo headband?
One of our twitter readers Mike Gomez brought this pic to our attention. Interesting. Funny how Rajon Rondo isn't allowed to "disrespect" the Laker legend Jerry West, but a Laker is. Could have just been an accident, but if he does it again the NBA better be on Howard and the Lakers. Speaking of Howard and the Lakers the damaged goods they traded, Andrew Bynum, had...
Nets-Lakers Preview

State of Lakers: Change for the better?
LOS ANGELES "Brown is a good coach 314 regular-season wins don't lie. He actually has a full season this year to show it. Let him."
I wrote that at the end of last week's "Three Thoughts." I didn't know it was also going to be the end of Mike Brown. But I still stand by what I wrote Mike Brown is a good coach.
He's just not the right coach...
Kobe walking the fine line between embracing Mike D’Antoni and wanting another title run with Phil Jackson
New Lakers coach, Mike D’Antoni, held his first practice on Thursday a day after arriving in L.A.

The Internet’s Love Affair With Andrew Bynum, Human Cartoon Character
"Sweet gloves, bro."NBA legend and TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal, in his neverending quest to completely besmirch Dwight Howard, once said that Andrew Bynum was the best big man in the league. But since he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in the blockbuster deal that sent Howard from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers, I’m pretty certain that Shaq doesn’t...
