When DJ Mbenga’s agent said that if things
went well, Mbenga would be signed by either the
Lakers or the Heat, he initiated a bit of speculation about what exactly his comments meant. A workout for Miami could hardly suddenly create interest for Mbenga’s presence back in the purple and gold. At ...

TMac is a loser? Seeing TMac hanging his
head as Houston are looking to continue his inability
to push past the first round, one can’t help but question what is it that makes one player an eternal loser and another a winner. I’m not calling TMac a loser here either, but the man doesn’t seem to be able to get the monkey from his back. Other players have had similar labels, whilst some we ...

The first round is over. The Lakers have
swept the Nuggets, and above all - they beat
them the right way – as a team. This series showed to a lot of people just why the Lakers walked away with the West’s #1 seed – team play. They of course played through Kobe, their anchor (as they should), but when all was on the line, they played together to eliminate a 50-win team in a sweep for the ...

So the Lakers did what they were supposed
to do — take care of business at home.
After leaving the Nuggets looking somewhat disoriented (particularly on defense), the series shifts to Colorado. The opener was full of playoff jitters, namely for Kobe Bryant. His shot wasn’t falling in the first game. Here’s what made it change … A smart opponent would count their blessings that Kobe ...

Game 1 is history and what was imperative
tonight was that the Leers held home court advantage.
Denver threw their fair share of changes the Lakers’ way, but it was really up to the stronger Lakers to dictate how this game went and moreover how the series will play out. The big difference quickly from the first game to this one was the glut of outside shots the Lakers pushed the Nuggets ...

I have a love/hate relationship with the playoffs.
I love that it’s the pathway to the Finals,
that the best teams in the league are competing and that every game means something. But I hate the tension, the nervousness, and the worry over little problems maybe becoming big ones and leading to a key loss. When all is said and done though, when the Lakers play with the poise, professionalism ...

It’s time. Time for Kobe Bryant to take
the stage yet again in the post-season. Time for
the Los Angeles Lakers to demonstrate why they are one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. Time to begin the journey for yet another championship banner to hang in the rafters. Sunday morning, the Lakers begin their 2007-08 post-season in the STAPLES Center against a prolific Denver ...

We are just one day away Laker Fans
from Project: We’re officially back b!+(43s. I was thinking
earlier today, what would a Game 1 LA vs Denver trailer look like? All I know is that they should call it “Fade to Black”, cause that is exactly what will happen to teams that try to get in LA’s way. By the time its all said and done, our 16 “track” album, will give Jay-Z’s version some serious ...

Kobe Bean Bryant is the MVP of NBA
basketball. The dust has settled; the smoke has cleared.
The Lakers sit atop the Western Conference. Based on the historical precedents set by past MVP selections, due to his outstanding statistical achievements, impact on the game, durability, winning, and leadership ability, no player other than 24 can legitimately hold up that trophy and deserve ...

With the Dallas Mavericks’ victory over the New
Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night, the Nuggets were ensured
the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Waiting for them at the top of the standings is a new and improved Laker team, holding homecourt advantage in the opening round for the first time since 2004. However, in perhaps the tightest race in conference history, the Nuggets don’t ...

If you predicted this in the beginning of
the season after the crazy summer the Lakers went
through, you would’ve been laughed at. There isn’t anyone in the basketball world, fan, analyst, player, coach or otherwise that would’ve believed that the Lakers could finish as the #1 seed in one of the tightest Western Conference races ever. The injuries, the duress, the unexpected teams coming up

I know when I format my hard-drive the
fan gets hit with the proverbial and the drivers
no longer work and the bios gets upset and I spend the next few weeks trying to undo the world before getting back to the place I was. So if we do what seems to be right by the world and reformat the playoffs does the same thing happen? Does it make teams like San Antonio and Phoenix easier to beat or ...

So the battle for #1, 2 or 3
comes down to this, the last 2 games of
the year. And this one for the Spurs was a big one. With the Spurs coming in hurt, you had to be wary of the wounded animal effect the Lakers have such a tough time dealing with. After the emotional win against the Hornets two nights ago, the Lakers had to dig deep to find the energy to match their performance versus New ...

It’s been a while since I’ve contributed to
the best blog in modern existence. Do I have
a reason for the lapse? Not really. But I felt that after a long absence that it was time to drop the voice of reason upon all of you. I cannot deprive you any longer. The season is almost over, and right now, the Lakers look like they are the Pacific champions. During the summer, virtually everyone ...

In about twenty minutes I have to go
to hospital for an operation. It’s not something I
look forward to - and as an aging baller who had achilles surgery two years ago it was a real fight to get back on the court. So if it’s hard for a (now) amateur baller to get back on the court after a spot of surgery, how hard is it on an NBA star and how to they come back? This is relevant of course ...

It hasn’t been a kind or fun place
for the Lakers for the last 3 years, but
maybe things would change this time. Maybe the Lakers could finally dredge a win out of the Rose Garden and close in on the Hornets for that #1 spot. Or maybe not. Pau’s mobility is an asset that gets overlooked too much. Starting early in the 1st half, Gasol was looking to fill the lane on every break that he ...

After a dissapointing loss to the Charlotte Bobcats,
the Lakers look to get back on track tonight
as take on one of the West’s worst - the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers will once again be without ex-Grizzly, Pau Gasol, as he’s missing he’s 8th consecutive game due to an ankle injury. “I was definitely looking forward to playing,” Gasol said on playing against his former team. “It was ...

The Warrior games are over, the Lakes are
back home, they had a day off and in
roll the Bobcats. It’s not time to relax, but it’s a good game to have off of those scorching competitive games with Golden State, or so you’d think. With the tough back to back with Golden State and having the day off yesterday, the Lakers definitely looked sluggish at the outset. On the other end, that curious ...

When you ask the question of which present-day
NBA player has the greatest work ethic, you get
one answer above the rest. Kobe Bean Bryant. Not to discredit any of the league’s other athletes, but I’ve never seen a player have such a strong devotion to basketball like Kobe Bryant. This, as evidenced by this blog, is to the point of being fascinating. So what better to do than ...
