Los Angeles Lakers – The Easiest Game Out There
Everyone with some connection to the Los Angeles Lakers always says that this franchise is about winning NBA championships, nothing else.

The truth comes out when you don’t have time to think or analyze things. Mike D’Antoni speaking against Los Angeles Lakers fans was what he really felt.

Los Angeles Lakers – Can’t Decide Whether They’re Tanking or Not
With or without Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers just aren’t looking like a team that’s good enough to rise above mediocrity (at best) and make it into the playoffs through the very difficult and competitive Western Conference.

Los Angeles Lakers – The Writing Was on the Wall
Surprised that the Los Angeles Lakers have been looking this bad early this NBA season?

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Isn’t Changing Anytime Soon
The Los Angeles Lakers like to distinguish themselves from the rest of the NBA, by never thinking about taking a “year-off” in order to better prepare for the future.
