Lakers Look Limp, Must Wins With Backs Against Wall
Who would’ve thought that this Lakers team would lose their first two games at home? Who thought that they would have their backs against the wall against an old Mavericks team? 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 [...]

Lakers Look Like Champs, Await War With Mavs
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 [...]

Lakers Need To Wake Up To Win
The Lakers had a chance to pretty much wrap up the series by winning game four on the road in New Orleans. They could’ve been up 3-1 going back home but they for some reason were not motivated enough to get it done. They now face an uphill battle since the Hornets now have enough [...]

Sixth Man of the Year Helps Lakers Redeem Game One Embarrassment
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. [...]

Lakers Can’t Defend Pick and Roll, Get an F for F-fort
Everyone thought the Lakers would demolish the Hornets, especially since their all-star, David West, is out for the playoffs. You’d think the Lakers and their size would prove to be too much for the undersized Hornets but that did not prove to be the case. You’d think the Lakers’ bigs would dominate the paint both [...]

I’ll Take the Laker Turnover, With a Side of L’s, but Please Hold the Home Court Advantage
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 [...]

No Win, No Problem
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 [...]

My Favorite Playoffs Moment
Usually when one sits down to watch a Lakers game, they prepare themselves for an incredible show by the one and only, Kobe Bryant.
This show, however, had a very different feeling to it. At times it felt like a sporting event. At times it felt like a concert. At times it felt like a movie. [...]
