Just when you thought it was safe to assume anything in the NBA Playoffs, things have just got crazy!
If LeBron James’ future employment options were threatening to take attention away from this season’s Playoffs, then the events of the past 48 hours have closed that book for now. The Phoenix …
As a quasi-Laker fan I’m happy to celebrate the dominance that LA has enjoyed over the past couple of seasons. I enjoy watching Kobe Bryant reaching even higher than we thought the top of his game reached. I enjoy watching Phil Jackson play the NBA the same way a cat …
The Los Angeles Lakers are easily the best team in the Western Conference at the quarter-mark of the NBA season. They have compiled an 18-4 record which includes the 8 point loss they suffered tonight in Utah. Of the next 7 teams in the West, I don’t believe any of …
J.A. Adande has a great piece on ESPN today about Kobe Bryant and his elevating game at age 31. Kobe, much like the only shooting guard ahead of him on the all-time pecking order has found a way to provide efficient scoring as his legs start to fade due to …
Having watched a few Laker preseason games last week, I’ve come to a disturbing conclusion…

That was the score when Orlando’s soul was broken and the curtains were drawn on their 2009 season. The LA Lakers were in the middle of an 18-0 run that snapped the neck of the rabbit and set the top hat on fire in Orlando last night. The only smoke …
I’m not sure whether you’ve been asleep or somewhat comatose for the past week or so, but the wins in Games 5 & 6 against the Nuggets didn’t just “happen” as the NBA promo would like you to believe.
Adjustments were made, defensive assignments were altered, attacking options were broadened. You …

The Magic will taste victory in six games. Part of my predicition could be my complete dislike of Kobe, but the majority is based in the regular season.
I will grant you that Jameer Nelson was a large part of the regular season sweep that the Magic put on the Lakers, …
