No one really believes and trusts the NBA officials, or the league itself, with David Stern sitting on top of the mountain. When you see the kind of calls the Los Angeles Lakers have been getting or getting away with in recent games as they attempt to make the final spot into the NBA playoffs, you can’t help to think that there’s some foul play involved, or at least wouldn’t be surprised to hear about something along those lines going on.

The most important thing? The Los Angeles Lakers won another game, on the road of all places, to stay in the race for the final ticket the NBA has to offer in the Western playoffs. Things of less importance all have to do with Kobe Bryant, not resting a single minute, moving up the NBA’s all time scoring list, shooting terribly from the field while posting assist numbers to make us think he’s a “team” player.

With 30 points in a much needed win for the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant moved up another spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain and ending up, for now, with 31,415 points, leaving him behind only Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. More
Any time the Milwaukee Bucks really needed a shot, they got it. Larry Sanders played like an NBA All-Star with the amazing defensive duo of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol guarding him, while the perimeter defense of Kobe Bryant, who left the arena on a crutch, helped Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis look like the best backcourt duo in the NBA More
Ricky Rubio was right to claim he was fouled by Kobe Bryant on the final play. The Los Angeles Lakers almost let another one get away from them with some more horrendous defending, but their star player, along with a dominant performance from the rest of the “stars” – Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and yes, even Pau Gasol, helped them escape with a win and a playoff ticket still in hand.

Four left in the race, only one of them comes out. While things are set and done in the East except for a few positions, the final eighth spot for the postseason in the Western Conference is up for grabs, as the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz and even the Portland Trail Blazers (yes, still) are fighting for the final playoff ticket left to hand out.

For a moment, it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers found the right formula to put their season back on track. But that was only a mirage, and the losing crept back to their recognized pace, despite a healthy and scoring Kobe Bryant. The Golden State Warriors have their own issues and standings to worry about, and Stephen Curry made sure they kept their distance from the biggest disappointment in the NBA. More
If anyone thought that Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol coming back to give the Los Angeles Lakers their “dream team” look once again, joining Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Metta World Peace, think again. The road to the playoffs which seemed to be suddenly turning right for them took another bad turn with a surprising home loss no one accounted for, making things for the big finish a lot more complicated More
A little bit of insight on how the mind of Kobe Bryant works was given to the world from the mouth of Antawn Jamison, who used his experience in the NBA in general, and specifically after playing next to Gilbert Arenas in the time from before his Los Angeles Lakers tenure. More
The easy thing to say after the Phoenix Suns wiped the floor with the Los Angeles Lakers? Kobe Bryant didn’t play,and you can’t win without him forever. The truth? The Suns simply eliminated Dwight Howard in the paint, forcing the Lakers to try and win through jump shots, which ended up being a miserable failure. More
