It’s not going to be a walk in the park like it was back in 2000-01. It’s going to be a grind to the end. With fellow contenders in the West Denver Nuggets and the Celtics, Cavs, and Magic all lying in the East this year will be much tougher than last year. And that…
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…
A lot of things have changed over this off-season. Teams have new looks with new rosters. Some of the games’ elite teams have stacked up their rosters to try and compete for a championship. NavjotEnt over at YouTube has created a sick mixtape featuring these teams and players that are making this upcoming season as…
If Houston can follow through and beat Portland in the first round, the Rockets will meet up with the Lakers … giving Tracy McGrady some hope that even while injured this postseason he can make a title run, right? Well, McGrady was asked while on an Atlanta talk-radio station for his NBA title pick, and…
This is something that I damn proud of; especially with no Andrew Bynum: ESPN: The Lakers became the first team in NBA history to win back-to-back games, both on the road, against teams with .800-plus win percentage at least 40 games into the season.
The Cavaliers have been dominent at home this season, a perfect 23-0 at home and completely blowing teams out in Cleveland. But today was a different story. After beating the Celtics in Boston last Thursday night, the Lakers follow-up their big win with yet another big win…

Well, Kobe gets no love these days… Your thoughts? FoxSports: “Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak has done such a good job of stockpiling talent, I’d argue that LeBron James could compete for a title — and probably win one — with the Lakers’ second team. That unit features Lamar Odom, who’s way more talented than any…
LOS ANGELES – The Cleveland Cavaliers came to Staples Center flexing their muscles as the team with the NBA’s best overall record. Besides that, the Cavaliers had beaten the Lakers in the past five regular-season meetings, dating back to the 2005-2006 season. The Lakers put an end to the aforementioned shenanigans Monday night and in…
