Nobody shows more pride in the teams he played for than Magic Johnson. Green and White and Purple and Gold are what he bleeds (and soon to be Dodger Blue, too). The former Los Angeles Lakers great is deeply passionate about the team he led to 5 NBA Titles, and is extremely upset with their terrible play this season. A team full of All-Stars and future Hall-of-Famers cannot seem to find their way, and Johnson ripped into them on Twitter, leaving no stone unturned: I’m tired of blaming the coach, the responsibility is on the @lakers players. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 7, 2013 .@dwighthoward has to stop complaining and start dominating on offense….@paugasol has to stop playing soft and get back to 18pts & 10rebs! — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 7, 2013 .@kobebryant is having a an MVP type season but the team needs him to be a better leader…@stevenash scoring more and… say.ly/xwO4UvY — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 7, 2013 .@mettawor...

POTD 1/8/13: James Harden on Robert Sacre

I was sincerely pulling for Robert Sacre to have a good game in his first start in place of the injured Dwight Howard… mostly because I wanted the Lakers to win, because that just would’ve been funny. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. Sacre did score 10 points, but, as the Lakers got blown out 125-112, he grabbed just three rebounds in 27 minutes and played Washington...

Just so everyone is aware, the Los Angeles Lakers lost, again. They were beat up by the Rockets and their problem may have been due to the lineup they put out on the court. The team is missing Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, and we all know that Kobe Bryant can be a ball-hog at times, but this was taking it to another level. For what it is worth, this was Chris Webber’s suggestion H/T Game On!

Things are not going as planned this season for the Los Angeles Lakers, and fans are none too pleased. The Lakeshow have managed a paltry 15-18 record even with the additions of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. While we believe that it is easily no one player which is the root of the problem, this plea to have Gasol fired is pretty phenomenal. The icing on the cake is the Sarah McLachlan...

What’s the best assist in Steve Nash’s career? This one from last night in Houston during the Lakers 125-112 loss. Even on a milestone night where he eclipsed the 10,000 career assist mark, the magician pulled a fast one on teammate Metta World Peace. After exiting the huddle Nash wiped his nose/mouth, both arms and both armpits.

The Dwight Howard experiment has gone very wrong in LA, so far. Is it because of his back, the coach, Kobe or Dwight himself is anyone’s guess.
It could be a combination of all that.
Things will go from bad to worse if his shoulder injury is anything serious. Here is what Dwight had to say.
“I would like to play but I just want to make sure that my shoulder is good to go,”...
