Thanks to some big plays down the stretch by both Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest, the Lakers were able to sneak out of Boston with a 90-89 victory over the fierce rival Boston Celtics. With under a minute to play Ron Artest makes a tough basket going to the rim with 2 defenders in his…
The Eastern and Western Conference All-Star Reserves were announced yesterday and course like every season, there are notable players who were snubbed while others should never have made the list. I’m going to leave any arguments concerning the Starters out of this blog post, since you really can’t hold any selective group of people accountable…
I always find it interesting how every season, NBA experts always find a way to jump on some other bandwagon than the one’s that are actually the best in the league. Experts and fans are always so quick to count out teams early in a 82 game season, and even quicker to anoint some new…

Yes you are seeing this correctly. You are not dreaming. Kobe Bryant has beat the buzzer for the 3rd time this month with a game winning 3-point shot to beat the Sacramento Kings 109-108. It’s being called the Miracle on New Years Day by the Lakers Nation. A miracle indeed considering the horrible play of…
While everyone is quick to point out the Lakers efforts or lack their of in their loss to the Cleveland Cavs on Christmas Day, I have a different take. I watched the game just like i’m sure many of you did. I was astonished by the number of bad calls (or non calls) in both…
