The header basically lays it out for you, but on the odd chance I start getting paid by the word... All indications from Saturday's practice in El Segundo point to the Lakers once again being short Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum for Sunday's tussle with Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets. ...

Gave myself a nice shave of the dome in before heading to the arena tonight. With a machete and some Barbasol, far as you know. More breakdown below. I talked about Kobe's performance above, and will have more on it tomorrow. I'm not kidding when I say it was among the more remarkable I've seen ...

No Pau. No Drew. But both K Brothers. So basically, an even trade off, right? The jabber box is below. AK Lakers vs. Grizzlies

We kicked it around in Thursday's PodKast, it's being discussed in reasonably wide circles around the NBA: The bench is an issue for the Lakers. This is not a state secret, but is counter to the Great Purple and Gold Depth Narrative constructed a couple seasons back, and as we all know those can ...

Ears receive the gift of manna from the heavens, because a new 710 ESPN Lakers PodKast has entered the Internet. And like them gum hawking twins, BK and I double our listener's pleasure with two installments of our voices. At no extra charge, I might add. Because we're givers. Part I -The Lakers ...

Presumably this MRI was read without first being sent to Spain, and word out of El Segundo this afternoon is that Andrew Bynum suffered a strained right elbow in LA's 103-102 win over the Rockets Wednesday night. The LAT's Mike Bresnahan reports Bynum is doubtful for Friday night's game against ...

It was about as pretty as a Lohan family reunion these days, but when the dust settles, all anyone cares about is the final tally. This one wrapped up at 103-102, the Lakers on top and the Rockets just short. I already summarized some high and low points from the contest during the intro to last ...

Well, it took five extra minutes and a lot of anxiety, but the Lakers pulled out back-to-back road wins in overtime, this time against the Houston Rockets. Like the previous night's muddy, often ugly work in Oklahoma City, there were aspects enjoyable, along with some elements I could have done ...

Another one after tonight's game. Probably ten or so minutes after the game ends. It'll run about 15-ish minutes. Also, both the chat and the second half of the live blog will be just me on my lonesome, as BK had to step out. Thus, I GUARANTEE CHATTER WILL RUN SLOW. DON'T COMPLAIN, as it won't ...

But first, some good news. It's being reported by The Times' Mike Bresnahan that Pau Gasol's hamstring has been declared "tear-free" after more test results finally arrived. He's ready to resume basketball activity and has an outside shot at playing this Friday against Memphis and his brother, ...

Let me preface this post by stating that the Ron Artest-Trevor Ariza "swap" isn't a K Brother obsession, even if a string of posts over the last several days makes it reasonable to assume otherwise. It just so happens the particular offseason storyline has popped up organically during some ...

It took an overtime push and a few fortunate breaks, but the Lakers did indeed knock off the Thunder Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, 101-98 the final. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 31 points, Ron Artest put in 20 and found the range on his jumper (6-8 from the floor, 2-3 from beyond the arc), ...

It appears that Pau Gasol's injured hamstring is improving. The LAT's Mike Bresnahan reports Gasol was able to finish what Phil Jackson called a "pretty good workout" Tuesday afternoon after shootaround in Oklahoma City, and while he won't play Wednesday- no surprise- Jackson wouldn't eliminate ...

Well, the score went the right way, but there wasn't much else about the Lakers' 101-98 overtime win against the Thunder in Oklahoma City that'll make them all giddy. For every good thing the Lakers did (forcing 21 TOs, for example) there was a negative counter (25 turnovers of their own, for ...

Word is Kobe Bryant, steeped in flu-like symptoms (Is it flu? Flu adjacent? Scurvy? Pac-Man Fever?*) will be a game time decision. I bet he plays. Yes, flu can make a guy feel lousy, but it doesn't require being strapped to a gurney Hannibal Lecter style, generally what it takes to keep 24 off ...

This just in from the Times' own Mike Bresnahan. Kobe Bryant is dealing with flu-like symptoms as we speak and is considered "questionable" for tonight's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. We'll keep everyone posted as we hear news, but Phil Jackson expects 24 to suit up. "He usually does," ...

If you missed it, Monday evening reader NBA4ever left a very interesting take on the Lakers without Pau Gasol: "...Andrew Bynum might be the Laker’s second leading scorer but he is not a 2nd option. Pau Gasol is the second option, the team flows so much more efficiently going into him. Bynum is ...

I posted the big news- Pau Gasol's MRI- earlier in the afternoon. Beyond that, it was a reasonably light day in El Segundo, as the Lakers were quick getting off the court and to the airport for their flight to Oklahoma City. Still, there were a couple points of note from the head coach, to be ...

No results yet, but that's the big news from practice Monday in El Segundo, ahead of the Lakers' first road trip of the season. Phil Jackson used the word "tear" speaking to the media and a sonogram on Gasol's hamstring may indicate that possibility. "The last diagnostic test we did showed he ...
