Lakers vs Wizards – John Wall Gets to Back Up His Own Words From Time to Time
If you ask John Wall about the best point guard in the NBA, the answer you’ll get will be… John Wall. According to his last three games, including his performance, along with teammate Nene, against the Los Angeles Lakers, leading the Washington Wizards to a 116-111 victory, he’s not that far off from the truth.

Kings vs Lakers – The First Winning Streak of the Season
What usually separates the good and bad teams in the NBA, aside from talent, is consistency.

Grizzlies vs Lakers – Zach Randolph Has Fun Against the Worst Frontcourt in the NBA
It’s been a slow and frustrating start this season, but there’s nothing like playing against the no-defense Los Angeles Lakers to make a big man pad up his stats and boost his confidence, scoring 28 points, 14 of them coming in the final quarter, to lead the Memphis Grizzlies in a 89-86 win, hopefully streaming things towards the right direction.

Los Angeles Lakers – Pau Gasol Looking Old and Sad
Don’t be fooled by Pau Gasol scoring 25 points, a season high for him, in the 99-111 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Xavier Henry & Jordan Hill Forced to Carry the Lakers
There’s no order, no plan, to whatever’s happening with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Mike D’Antoni is simply improvising, plugging in players in different roles until something clicks, waiting for you know who to return. It’s not consistent but generally, and especially in their very convincing 116-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, it works best with Xavier Henry and Jordan Hill on the floor.

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

Lakers vs Pelicans – Anthony Davis Rising, Pau Gasol Disappearing
Despite the pre-draft exaggerations, Anthony Davis isn’t the kind of player that turns a franchise completely around. Still, his way to NBA greatness looks clearer with every game that goes by, and as the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Lakers, he makes Pau Gasol like an old has-been as well.

Lakers vs Mavs – Monta Ellis Dominates Against a Sad Looking Team
There’ no use hiding the fact: The Los Angeles Lakers are terrible, no matter how many changes Mike D’Antoni makes in his lineup every game. The Dallas Mavericks on the other hand, winning 123-104, have found the perfect sidekick to Dirk Nowitzki in Monta Ellis, leading 7 players in double figures on an almost perfect shooting night.

Los Angeles Lakers – Xavier Henry and & Jordan Hill Somehow Their Best Players
Seeing the Los Angeles Lakers this season is quite a surreal experience, especially with Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, entrusted to lead the team while Kobe Bryant is away, playing so badly, and players like Xavier Henry and Jordan Hill becoming the most important factors this team has to rely on.
