Los Angeles Lakers – Easy Win Doesn’t Mean Much
When it’s too easy, you can’t take too much out of it. The Los Angeles Lakers won their first game of the season, taking off tons of pressure from everyone’s shoulders; from Mike Brown to Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard. The weak, surprisingly soft Detroit Pistons were exactly what the doctor ordered.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Can’t Change
It’s too strong. The will to win takes over any rational thought of trying to work through the process of making the new Princeton offense work, even at the cost of an 0-3 start.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Can’t Be Surprised With Criticism
The Los Angeles Lakers keep talking about patience, keep asking for it.

Good and Bad From the Kobe Bryant Dictatorship With the Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, taking him to 29,283 points in his career, all with the Los Angeles Lakers. You said Kobe Bryant? You said records, this time one that belonged to Michael Jordan, as Kobe Bryant became the all-time leading scorer for one franchise.

Kobe Bryant Refuses To Make Fourth Quarter Benching an Issue
Kobe Bryant wasn’t happy after the 102-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, and just because the Los Angeles Lakers lost the game. Not just because instead of backing the sudden talk of championship material with a win over a good team, the Lakers folded, at home, only their fourth loss of the season.
