  • The Game That Lost the Lakers Their Series Against the Thunder

    Andrew Bynum hit a nice shot over Kendrick Perkins with just over two minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The Los Angeles Lakers were up 75-68 in a very low scoring affair in Oklahoma City. Two minutes later, the Lakers were still at 75, Kevin Durant just put the Thunder in the lead. The Lakers are down 0-2, with the chances of overturning looking grim.

  • Thunder That Good; Lakers This Bad?

  • Kobe Bryant Keeps Getting Better, Lakers Keep Getting Worse

    Kobe Bryant didn’t have a Michael Jordan kind of night, as much as he would love to. He didn’t have the support Jordan had, that night against the Utah Jazz. Bryant seemed just as sick and ill, pumped up with IVs, but he alone was no match to the striding Denver Nuggets and Ty Laswon, who tied the series at 3-3, giving us a game 7.

  • Kobe Bryant Won’t Win a Sixth Ring Without Andrew Bynum

    Kobe Bryant won’t be winning a sixth NBA ring this season. Well, at least he’s not supposed to.

    Derrick Rose was sorely missed by the Chicago Bulls, who fell at home, suffering their worst loss of the season, as the 76ers came out of Chicago with a 109-92 win. Rajon Rondo on the other hand wasn’t missed in Atlanta, where Paul Pierce took over for the Celtics in a 87-80 win. Lakers – Nuggets? Same ol’ Bryant, in a good way that is.

  • Derrick Rose is the Most Popular Player in the NBA

  • Best NBA Comics Ever?

    NBA players portrayed as kids – some fun, some annoying, some being bullies, as J.O Applegate imagines and demonstrates how some of the league’s biggest stars would look like, playing together during recess.

  • Kobe Bryant Climbing The Next Step Towards Michael Jordan

    Kobe Bryant is regarded by most as one of the greatest of all time. By some as one of the top 5 players in the history of the game. By a few maybe even as the greatest ever, even greater than Michael Jordan. Winning only one MVP award does damage plenty of theories regarding Kobe, but even that’s explainable.

  • Kobe Bryant Injury Exposes the Weaknesses in Mike Brown’s Lakers

    Kobe Bryant didn’t play for the first time the season, and the Los Angeles Lakers looked terrible. No energy, no defense. The Phoenix Suns handed the West’s #3 team their worst defeat of the season, proving to many just how important the league’s leading scorer is to the team.

  • Bryant & Bynum Dominate Clippers – Lakers Despite Blake Griffin Dunk on Pau Gasol

    Kobe Bryant finished with 31 points, Andrew Bynum with 36. The Los Angeles Lakers beat their little sister 113-108 in a game that had most people talking about Blake Griffin destroying Pau Gasol with another one for the his impressive highlight book. With one less of a position to worry about for the Lakers, who on some nights, when things click on both ends of the floor, look like title contenders once again.
