Who Will Save The Lakers?

The blowback from the unofficial, yet obviously done, Kevin Garnett deal is going to reach all the way across the country to Los Angeles. The Lakers, the jilted lover in this situation, have yet to do anything to make Kobe Bryant happy. Remember all of Kobe's bluster and idiocy...

Lakers-Nuggets Game Four: Denver Rebounds, and Rebounds, and Rebounds

Tonight in Denver, in a game where the home team got little from their best player, the Nuggets more or less ran the Lakers out of the building, because the Lakers are just that gutless, and didn't need the game, or much want it. That may sound harsh, or dismissive of a great night...

Lakers and Rockets Remind Us That It's Just Playoff Basketball

It is odd that in the hours leading up the the Rockets-Lakers Game 2, several of my co-workers and I were discussing how the NBA is changed. There weren't any flagrant fouls. Hard fouls were normal and a vital part of the game. Nowadays, people get bent out of shape about the smallest...
