Lakers Push Back, Beat Nuggets 96-87 to Win 1st Round
That’s why they play seven games. As lame as the Lakers looked on occasion, they had enough superior talent to make up for their problems. The Nuggets have as many good players as the Lakers have, but…Read More
Lakers Leave Odor After 113-96 Loss to Nuggets
I just finished watching the Clippers lose at home to the Grizzlies. Thus the Clips have done exactly what the Lakers have done, that is, go ahead 3 games to 1, then lose two straight to force a Game…Read More
Lakers Stumble at Home Against Nuggets, 102-99
Earlier this season I’d have been all over Kobe for taking 32 shots, with Gasol taking only 11 shots and Bynum a ridiculous eight shots. But the team is different now. The main problem isn’t Kobe’s…Read More
Lakers in Control with 92-88 Win in Denver
Like most of the Laker wins this season, it was nothing to write home about except that it was a win, and a road win in the playoffs. Okay, wow. The main difference in this one was that the Lakers…Read More
It’s Still A Series–Nuggets School Lakers, 99-84
What other team in the league has the capacity to look like NBA champions one night and the Washington Generals the next night? Come to think of it, lots of teams fall in that category. It was the Lakers’…Read More

Lakers Outlast Nuggets in Game Two, 104-100
Game One was over from the jump. The local lads hit hard early (27-14 after the first quarter) and then,…Read More
Lakers Start Playoffs by Swatting Nuggets, 102-88
This was no contest, but one assumes that George Karl learned something this afternoon. If so, the Nugs…Read More

Lakers Stun Thunder in Double-OT, 114-106
Wow. Okay, enough gushing. This was a great win for the Lakers, the best of their 41 wins this season.…Read More

Suns Blitz Kobe-less Lakers, 125-105
For most of the season, the Lakers faced teams who were missing at least one of their key players because…Read More

Bynum Tossed, Lakers Lose to Rockets, 112-107
With 1:18 left in the third quarter, Andrew Bynum picked up a technical foul. Just before returning to the floor to start the fourth quarter, Laker coaches reminded Bynum not to get a second technical…Read More

Lakers Impress in 113-108 Win Over Clippers
I haven’t been impressed by a Lakers win in quite awhile—and it’s only happened four or five times this season. Last night was one of them and, given the situation, the most impressive of all. Sure,…Read More

Lakers Stumble Past Warriors, 120-112
Need I even point out that Stephen Curry was out with a bad ankle and that their high-scoring off-guard (Ellis) was traded for a guy (Bogut) who won’t be able to play until next season? Or should I…Read More
Lakers Steal One from Hornets, 88-85
The Hornets got a lot more out of last night’s loss to the Lakers than the Lakers did in winning. Against all odds–with the worst record in the West, without four members of their first-string,…Read More

Lakers Edge Warriors, Get Run Over by Thunder
Lakers 104, Warriors 101 First, some thoughts on the Warriors game that the Lakers won on Tuesday night in Oakland. Kobe was at it again, taking 24 shots. Pau had to play 39 minutes to do it but managed…Read More
Lakers Get Outgun By Now-Healthy Grizz–102-96
No, the Lakers didn’t look very good last night, and Memphis did look very good. And it’s all no big deal–although it is for the Grizzlies because, after the top three teams in the West, there…Read More
Lakers Shoot 58%, Outgun Mavs, 109-93
Even at full strength, the Mavs aren’t very good, though you can’t dismiss a team with Dirk, Kidd and Terry. The Mavs are respectable and dangerous, but no longer “elite.” Especially without their…Read More

Kobe Fiddles While Rockets Burn Lakers, 107-104
Yo, Kobe, you’re killing your team. I have no problem saying that, even if media types—and coach Brown– all dance around the subject in mortal fear of actually critiquing Kobe’s game. What…Read More

Lakers Streamline Their Roster, Then Win One, Lose One
Lakers 97, T-Wolves 92 The trading deadline brought the Lakers a new look and renewed hope for an NBA title. Don’t ask why the Cleveland Cavaliers thought it was clever to send Ramon Sessions (and Christian…Read More

Lakers Plod Past Hornets in OT, 106-101
That’s three overtimes in two back-to-back road games, wins that overcame a 17-point deficit in both cases. Also in both cases, Andrew Bynum served notice that there’s a new sheriff in town. Gee, the…Read More
