  • 2012 NBA Playoffs Diary – Day 2

    Chris Paul wasn’t having a great, memorable night, but he played well enough while carrying a groin injury to lead the Clippers through one of the franchise’s most incredible playoff wins, coming back from 24 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 99-98, hitting the winning free throws, calm and cold as ice.

  • 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.

  • 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. Meaningless to tell you the truth, unlike the Lakers winning 104-101 against the Warriors, Bryant venting some anger at Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum gets the Mike Brown bench treatment.

  • How Far Can the Lakers Go With Kobe Bryant?

    Kobe Bryant wants that sixth NBA championship ring more than anything. Just like the six MJ has. On some nights, like the Lakers’ 109-93 win over the Dallas Mavericks, it looks like the Lakers have found the right direction to go with. The right kind of blend, of inside-outside basketball, with #24 excelling in the clutch.

  • The Lakers Finally Get it – Give the Ball to Andrew Bynum

    Andrew Bynum finished with a season high 37 points, combining for 71 as Kobe Bryant scored 34, leading the Los Angeles Lakers on back-to-back road wins (only second time this season) with a double overtime victory 116-111 over the Memphis Grizzlies, putting the Lakers at the third spot in the Western conference, at the expense of their hosts.

  • Kobe Bryant Actually Shares the Ball With Other Lakers in Crunch Time

    Kobe Bryant did the unthinkable. No, he didn’t ask for a trade to cancel out his no-trade clause, although it’s been a nice urban legend making it’s way around the NBA. Bryant actually gave up on being selfish and instead of taking the final shots in the Los Angeles Lakers 97-94 win over the Boston Celtics, he prefered dishing assists to Andrew Bynum.

  • Kobe Bryant Can’t Be Slowed Down by Masks

    Kobe Bryant played with a mask on his face, suffering from a broken nose, post-concussion and a stiff neck, all thank to Dwyane Wade, which didn’t stop him from leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 104-85 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves with 31 points.

  • Andrew Bynum Proves Lakers Have More Than Just Kobe Bryant

    Andrew Bynum had another impressive double-double performance, being the best player on a 96-91 win by the Los Angeles Lakers in Dallas against the Slow and old Mavericks, actually enjoying the fact that Shawn Marion completely shut down Kobe Bryant, allowing Pau Gasol and others an opportunity to shine.

  • Bryant Stops Scoring and Lakers Keep Winning

    Kobe Bryant couldn’t help himself but continue and throw over 20 shots, limiting himself to “only” 22 field goal attempts and 14 points, making only 7 of his shots. For once this season, he gave up on the tough last shot, finding Derek Fisher who hit the winning three pointer win 3 second to go, beating the Dallas Mavericks 73-70.

  • Kobe Bryant Hogs His Way to Another Lakers Win

    Kobe Bryant isn’t slowing down despite his injured right hand, scoring 39 points to lead the just above average Los Angeles Lakers in their 97-90 win over the Golden State Warriros, his third straight 30 point game in four nights, while the Lakers go 2-1 in these games.
