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.

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.

Dwight Howard Has Missed More Free Throws This Season Than Steve Nash Has In His Entire 17 Year Career

Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s hard to say if this stats is a praise to the free throw shooting accuracy of Steve Nash, or a jab at the ability of Dwight Howard to convert his trips to the line, as the Los Angeles Lakers center has already missed more shots from the line this season than Nash has during his entire NBA career, spanning nearly 17 seasons.

Los Angeles Lakers – An Old & Lazy Bunch of Players, Not a Team

Posted on 29 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

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

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Cheats His Way to Victory

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

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.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant & Pau Gasol Don’t Make a Difference

Posted on 23 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

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

Los Angeles Lakers – Who Knew the Phoenix Suns Played Defense

Posted on 19 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

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

Goran Dragic Pulls Off the Assist of the Season

Posted on 19 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s going to take time, maybe forever, until Goran Dragic is loved by Phoenix Suns fans like Steve Nash was and still is, but that doesn’t mean Dragic can’t get the upper hands in an individual battle between the two, using Nash’s open legs to deliver what is probably the best assist anyone has seen this NBA season.

Los Angeles Lakers – Enjoying the Life Without a Leader

Posted on 18 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

No one will ever dare say out loud that the Los Angeles Lakers are a better team without Kobe Bryant, but at least they can without him, or even Dwight Howard having some impressive day in the paint. Despite playing with only 7 players, they had no problem getting another win that brings them closer to the postseason, maybe even as something more than the 8th seed. More

Los Angeles Lakers – Nothing Can Thrive Next to Kobe Bryant

Posted on 17 Mar, 2013, by in Featured

The intensity can’t be matched, in games or in his desire to remain on the court despite injuries that come & go. Kobe Bryant is the undisputed king and ruler of the Los Angeles Lakers, and until he leaves or retires, nothing can grow to its full potential next to him. More
