  • 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?

    No one was surprised that the Oklahoma City Thunder won Game 1, at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. But by 29 points? Without anything too special from Durant, Westbrook, Harden or anyone else? Is that really the gulf between the two teams.

  • 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. The Thunder and the Spurs are better teams than the Los Angeles Lakers, and the problems the Nuggets are presenting to the Lakers suggest that this team just doesn’t have what it takes to go all the way in the 2012 NBA Playoffs.

  • Nuggets Over Lakers – JaVale McGee Makes All the Difference

    JaVale McGee didn’t get the start, but he got to play for 28 minutes, making the most of them, finishing with the impressive stat line of 16 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, helping the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 99-84 and get back into the series, making it 1-2 Lakers.

  • How Long Should Metta World Peace Be Suspended By the NBA?

    Metta World Peace, the player formerly known as Ron Artest, is in a place he knows all too well. With everyone wanting to see him suspended for a very long time for his hit on James Harden during the Lakers’ win over the Thunder on Sunday night.

  • Metta World Peace Elbows James Harden; Ejection Now, Suspension Later

    Metta World Peace or the player formerly known as Ron Artest actually went back to his Artest days, branding a great game of basketball between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder with a disgusting and impossible to understand elbow to the head of James Harden, which took Harden out of the game and got MWP ejected to an ignorant stadngin ovation.

  • 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.

  • The Lamar Odom Failure is Mark Cuban’s Fault

    Lamar Odom is a failed experiment this season for the Dallas Mavericks, something Mark Cuban should blame mostly on himself, because of actually completing the trade many doomed as a failure from the start and because of his behavior towards Odom during the season, obviously not helping to improve the situation.

  • Lamar Odom and the Dallas Mavericks Don’t Surprise Anyone by Parting Ways

    Lamar Odom was going through his worst season since being traded from the Los Angeles Lakers (who he never wanted to leave), by his demand, to the Dallas Mavericks, where his on court and off court problems have led to the mutual decision of parting ways, as the Mavs fight for a playoff spot and Odom left pondering on the future of his NBA career.
