Los Angeles Lakers – What’s Next?

Posted on 30 Apr, 2013, by in Featured

No matter what kind of mutterings you’ll hear, the Los Angeles Lakers failed in the 2012-2013 NBA season, barely making it into the playoffs and getting swept in the first round. Kobe Bryant will be back eventually, hopefully not too far from his ability from before the injury. The biggest decisions for the Lakers remain with re-signing Dwight Howard, keeping (or not) Mike D’Antoni while making up their minds about the future of Pau Gasol, Metta World Peace and Steve Nash.

Kobe Bryant Will Get Mike D’Antoni Fired Through Twitter

Posted on 22 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Everyone knows how serious Kobe Bryant is about his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. It also seems sometimes that out of all that passion comes a destructiveness that punishes those trying to succeed without him, although he doesn’t necessarily mean for the results to happen. Using twitter to interact with the fans during games, something he never managed to do before his injuries, might not be all that positive as some might think. More

Los Angeles Lakers Should Amnesty Kobe Bryant, Not Pau Gasol

Posted on 22 Apr, 2013, by in Featured

People don’t always do the smart things because of, well, less than intelligent decision making. While Kobe Bryant has been the face of the Los Angeles Lakers for over a decade, the Southern California will get over him eventually, like they do about everything, once the team built around others, specifically Dwight Howard, starts winning games at an acceptable rate. Meanwhile, the team is more inclined to release Pau Gasol than the Black Mamba. More

Los Angeles Lakers – Dwight Howard & Pau Gasol Doing it Without Mambas

Posted on 18 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

When the Lakers were at 17-25 three months ago, statistics and history told us there was no way they’d be making the postseason. Three months later, without Kobe Bryant who gave his body up to put them in a position to enter the promised land, Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol are doing just fine on their own. More

Los Angeles Lakers – Dwight Howard is Better Off Without Kobe Bryant

Posted on 15 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The sample size of the games without Kobe Bryant this season is too small up until now (only three), but the early conclusion is that the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t doomed without their alleged best player, especially when his absence makes life a little bit easier for everyone on the floor, and especially Dwight Howard, who like it or not is made to be a star on a team, and not just a bystander waiting for a chance.

The Los Angeles Lakers as a Game of Thrones Like Drama

Posted on 14 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The most interesting take on this weird and probably disappointing season for the Los Angeles Lakers comes from redditor frekkld, who translated the 2012-2013 season into a synopsis of a Shakespearean tragedy, but the tales of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Mike D’Antoni seems to be more fitting to the world created by GRRM in A Song of Ice and Fire, or as most people know it, Game of Thrones.

Los Angeles Lakers – The Torn Achilles Complication

Posted on 13 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Getting off the floor with a win didn’t seem like such a happy occasion for the Los Angeles Lakers, who might have gotten a step closer to securing a spot in the NBA playoffs, but along the way lost Kobe Bryant, who is probably going to be out for a very long time with a probable Achilles tendon tear. Forget about the rest of the season and the playoffs – at his age, this could be something that ends a career. More

Hate or Love Him, Kobe Bryant is a Physical Freak

Even if your favorite sport in the world is doing some Kobe Bryant bashing, the recent runs of games without rest while putting up some incredible numbers which most likely will be able to carry the Los Angeles Lakers into playoffs is one of the most incredible feats one of the best players in NBA history has pulled off, even if it’s not going to end up with a title ring.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Doesn’t Have Anything Left to Give

Posted on 11 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The way things are going now, the Los Angeles Lakers will get into the playoffs thanks to Kobe Bryant simply feeding into something deep within him to play the entire 48 minutes, which nearly wasn’t enough against a team in semi-tank mode, losing nine consecutive games and playing four rookies in the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Finishes What Pau Gasol Started

Posted on 10 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

For about three quarters, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to Pau Gasol to keep them in the game and in the playoff picture. Once the fourth quarter began, so did Kobe Bryant, who saved his best for last, hopefully serving as some sort of metaphor for a season that might end up not being as disappointing as it looked to be heading towards earlier in the year.
