Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:11:18 +0000

What if...

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:03:44 +0000

What if... the addition of Ron Artest to LA actually works? if Andrew Bynum doesn't get injured, and continues to work well in tandem with Pau Gasol? Kobe Bryant continues to be able to take over games seemingly at will? Shannon Brown enters the Dunk contest? the Celtics actually ...

Kobe's You've-got-to-be-kidding-me shot...

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:34:00 +0000

Man... this was unbelievable. Happened during the Lakers' demolition of the Thunder (101-86). Not an accident - have a look at his face: full of intent. Gets bumped out of position on a drive (should have been a foul), and shoots over the top of the backboard... Amazing.

A Stern Vision

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:50:00 +0000

LeBron James' call for #23 to be retired in recognition for Michael Jordan's contributions to the NBA have set about a flurry of discussion. On LBJ's motivation for the change...and on whether Jordan deserves it. And the thing is, that whilst His Airness may have been the most prominent ...

Bloguin NBA-a-thon #1

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:00:00 +0000

There are quite a few "Blog Carnivals" around. Celebrating a common thematic/sport, it's an excellent way to cross-pollinate audiences. Given the amount of NBA blogs on Bloguin, and the depth of quality within that group - a few decided to begin the Bloguin NBA Carnival, which will be named ...

When 23 isn't more than 6

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:35:00 +0000

Not long after declaring that he would not discuss his impending free agency, LeBron James announced that from next season he would be changing his number from 23 to 6. The reasoning behind said change was that he wanted to pay homage to Michael Jordan by not using #23, and using #6 in homage ...

Rising Suns in LA

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:01:00 +0000

Phoenix have been on a tear. There isn't a single team in the NBA that are in better form now (tho' a few might argue to be equally good). They come into town on the back of a 20 point thrashing of Nawleans, and should be more than eager to take on the Lake-show in LA. So, what do they ...

#2 - NBA Power Rankings

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:22:00 +0000

There have been very few constants thus far in the NBA season. Only LA/Phoenix... maybe Boston? Promises to be a great match-up tomorrow between the Lakers and Suns (hopefully Andrew Bynum laces up the big boots)... With Malice Power Rankings... 1. LA Lakers - No Gasol, no Bynum ...

There are 5 points on an All Star

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:38:31 +0000

The NBA unveiled the All Star ballot today, and each and every fan should go there and vote! ***** Fortunately for Lakers fans, 5 Lakers managed to get on the ballot. Guards Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest, forwards Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom... and center Andrew Bynum make up the 5 LA ...

Thus far...

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:25:00 +0000

The NBA season is only a few weeks old, very early days. Still - definitely not too early to ask "what do you think?". And I did just that: asking three of my fellow bloguinites their thoughts on the season as it stands so far. Here's what I asked: - What teams have surprised you thus ...

Lakers beat Grizz - highlights

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 10:30:00 +0000

A really undermanned Lakers squad (sans Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum) had a good run against the Memphis Grizzlies, running out with a 114-98 win. The bench was actually surprisingly good - with good performances by Josh Powell (13 pts); Jordan Farmar (9 points)... and a slue of other efforts ...

LeBron to LA? Err... Sam Smith? You're nuts.

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 06:42:05 +0000

Sam Smith of Bulls.com states: "Well, at least I'm fairly sure now where LeBron James is going to be playing next season. Los Angeles, most likely with the Lakers." ( Will LeBron join Kobe in L.A.? ) Say what? I would hazard a guess and state that the one destination that we ...

Usher gave us his first impressions on the Western Conference last Monday - here's what he thinks on all things Eastern... Boston Celtics Easily the most impressive side so far. They're looking amazing at the moment. Though, they looked damn good this time last season as well. ...

Good old-fashioned virtues...

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 08:30:00 +0000

Early days - LA's played 4 games, winning 3 and losing 1. Now, whilst quite a few fans were mortified over the loss to Dallas - at home no less - ... thus far - I like what I see. Looking at the games we've played thus far, we have: a win vs LA Clippers (99-92) a loss against Dallas ...

All roads lead through... (NBA Pacific Div. previews)

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 11:53:43 +0000

This is the last of the blog previews for the now-already-started NBA season - of course a Celtics blog would organise the Lakers to be last (and after we've begun!)... I kid, I kid. Hey, if there wasn't a bit of healthy angst between the Celtics and the Lakers, the earth would stop turning! ...

Usher's Take (Western Conference)

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 00:59:55 +0000

Here we go with a look at what's happened thus far in the Association. Early days yet, but Usher calls it as he sees it. Dallas Mavs Impressive so far, seems to suit the up-tempo offense they've implemented. They look a lot deeper than last season. Positives - Marion looks like ...

Every now 'n' then, someone offers me something that's well worth putting up - despite the team it's for. Someone who's often contributed to some of the stuff I put up here is a Magic fan (and runs by the pseudonym '46')... given how desperate I am to put up something today - I have ...
