by Adam Rose What's better than 20 Laker
Girls? 500 prospective Laker Girls. While the Kamenetzky brothers
were busy this weekend (probably out saving the world with Jordan Farmar), one of their fellow LA Times bloggers discovered another good reason ...

And One

As most of you know, Coby Karl overcame
cancer twice before making it to the Lakers. That
victory is one he shares with his dad, who also beat the disease. Chris Tomasson of The Rocky Mountain News wrote a touching profile of their battle. It includes words of praise for the rook from Derek Fisher, who certainly knows how this situation can affect a family. AK

There were serious questions, however, about who would
take this eventual 120-109 Lakers win. Perhaps inspired by
the presence of Eddy Curry, mutual defense took a holiday in the first, second and third frames. In particular, the quarter before Big ...

We've mentioned the stint Jeannie Buss did on
The Dog Whisperer- seriously- a couple times on the
site, but have never actually posted the footage. It's particularly entertaining to watch PJ, who I believe, zen as he may be, seems ready to call ...

I mentioned yesterday (as perhaps the only major
outlet to break this news, I might add) that
Ronny Turiaf practiced with his hair out and wild, a decision I thought he made simply to let his braided hair breath. As it turns out, there was a method to ...

Obviously there was much to talk about after
the Lakers dropped Game 2 of the NBA Finals
to the Celtics in Boston Sunday night, 108-102. Click below to read some of the reaction. BK

Or a cellie with a clock. Or a
sundial. Something to help him keep track of the
passing hours, because the lack of timeliness just cost him a starting job tonight against Dallas. When asked about any lineup changes for the game, Phil Jackson talked...

Or does it feel like the NBA is
hoping that if they put if off long enough,
fans will forget there's supposed to be an MVP and they'll escape the awkwardness of having to present it to expected (and currently humiliated) winner Dirk Nowitzki? Last ...

The Lakers' second half swan dive didn't just
cost them a crack at a higher playoff seed,
but also a legitimate shot for Kobe Bryant to win the MVP. When the Lakers were 26-13, looking like a team that could hang with the Houstons and Utahs in the ...

Not to be a total downer, but the
lofty dreams Lakers fans have conjured over the highly
successful first 37 games of the season- I'm talking about winning the Pacific, maybe even the Western Conference- are officially out the window with the injury ...

Arguably more than any franchise in sports, the
Lakers have a gift and flair for drama. And
this 108-104 OT win over the Mavs featured more drama than those chicks on "The Hills" after one too many appletinis. Seven lead changes. Fifteen times knotted ...

Injury news out of El Segundo after Thursday's
practice wasn't overwhelmingly good. Chris Mihm looks surprisingly spry
after having a big honkin' surgical screw removed from his foot and could return starting in April. After that, though, the news ...

NOTE: AK had some serious tech issues both
at the Arena and the hotel. Thus, there's a
lot that didn't make it in, or did... but perhaps rather less elegantly than he'd prefer. That which is missing he'll try to deliver Wednesday. But more on that in ...

For one night at least, one in a
row sounds a lot better than three in a
row. Vlad Rad, LO (still sick, but still playing), Kobe, Fish, and Turiaf start for L.A. BK with the first. FIRST QUARTER: First trip down, Lakers get the ball in deep, but ...

It didn't come quick. It didn't come easy.
And it didn't come without a boatload of three
balls getting hoisted and drained by both sides (interesting nugget of trivia to come later). But when the dust finally settled on the five minutes of extra ...

I'll give Denver credit. They managed to do
something that honestly I didn't think they had in
them- play 48 minutes of hard (though not necessarily smart) basketball, and even come from behind to close the game in the second half. They were spirited ...

There will also be forfeits for whichever teams
face Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals and finals.
Ridiculous. Were I a Suns die hard, I'd be especially furious right about now. AK

Because tonight's 100-92 win over the Spurs, a
victory that vaulted the Lakers into the NBA Finals,
was hardly secured by what they did over most of the opening half. In fact, the first 20 minutes or so came pretty close to guaranteeing a Game 6 on ...

Those inhabitants of the Laker Nation with a
natural inclination for worry will not sleep well after
the Lakers hit the famous parquet floor in Boston with a thud, dropping Game 1 of the NBA Finals to the Celtics, 98-88. It was a night with few ...

The Lakers looked pretty loose today after practice.
Focused and ready to play Game 2 on Sunday,
but certainly not freaking out over what happened last night. The feeling was that they simply didn't perform at the level to which they're capable. Yes, ...
