Lakers’ Season Ends with a Whimper
From the very beginning (when THE trade was made – before a game had been played) I knew, and I often wrote, that this Lakers’ team, even when at full strength, was not a championship caliber team, that Deee-Wight was … Continue reading
Can the Lakers Come Back from the Brink, Like Boston? No, No They Can’t
After being thoroughly outplayed in three games, the Boston Celtics would not say die, and came back today to outplay the Knicks, and win just about wire-to-wire, 97-90. Down three games to none, can the Lakers do the same today … Continue reading

No Kobe, Now or Ever?
Anyone watching the Lakers closely over the past few weeks has seen an overmatched, out-of-sync team, being virtually willed to one victory after another, by the play and by the inspiration of Kobe Bryant. The team is composed of a … Continue reading

Athletic Clippers v Old and Slow Lakers – No Contest
Sunday’s final 2012-2013 match-up between LA’s two NBA teams looked just like the early games from the start of the season, when the high-flying Clippers brought “showtime” back to Los Angeles basketball, running and jumping the “Old and Slow” Lakers … Continue reading

Lakers Return to Form as Deee-Wight Leads Surge to Oblivion
As the emotion following the death of Jerry Buss and of the fifteenth “New Start” of the Lakers‘ season diminish, the team returned to form in Denver last night, being thoroughly outplayed in every aspect of the game. The Nuggets … Continue reading

At the NBA Break in LA
As the All-Star break is racing by and the trade deadline nears, there is lots of talk of NBA trades, many involving the Clippers, and most of those involving Eric Bledsoe. Lakers’ trade talk is quiet, and that is an … Continue reading

Lakers’ Grammy Tour Off To A Thud
As we kinda thought, rumors of the Lakers’ rebirth have been overblown. With last night’s start of the “Grammy Tour” in Phoenix, the Lakers reverted to the team we envisioned in early fall and that we watched through the first … Continue reading
“New” Lakers, “Old” Clippers?
So the Lakers’ new season began (for what, the third or fourth time since October?) with two wins, and all Lakersdom is awash in glee. Enjoy it while you can. Onlookers say they see a new attitude, and granted the … Continue reading
It’s Time To Trade Dwight Howard
I’ve written extensively about the unmotivated, lackadaisical, and ineffective performance of Dwight Howard, and about how he, among other Lakers, does not fit the Mike D’Antoni system. Since the trade that brought him here was made, I’ve been saying that … Continue reading

Pau Rewarded For Season’s Best Effort – the Bench
Coming off his highest scoring game of the season (10 of 15, 25 pts), Pau Gasol was rewarded with a seat on the bench. Yea, the irascible Mike D’Antoni, whose run-and-gun system matches the Lakers’ personnel so well, now has … Continue reading

Hothead Howard Responsible for Raptors’ Rampage?
So, a mere 72 hours ago, I wrote about how the “Old and Slow” Lakers would actually have a chance to beat Miami. What a call that was. Now, thanks in part to the hothead Deee-Wight Howard and his getting … Continue reading
