On Sunday night, in preseason action, the Los Angeles Lakers fell short in their game against the Sacramento Kings. This game was deemed as "important" by a large part of the basketball universe because it was Dwight Howard's first game in the Laker purple and gold, so a ton of eyes were glued to NBA TV's broadcast of the game. Howard didn't
Wow. So Dwight Howard, the player I can't stand, the man who makes me sick to my stomach, played his first game in LA. Unfortunately he looked great. It was sickening. He played focused and hard and tried to put on a show. It's not surprising that he played hard cause he plays every game his hardest but last season there were times that felt he
So my buddy on twitter posted that an old Western Conference Semi Finals game between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers was on NBA TV. I didn’t have class for another few hours and I love watching these old classic games so I put it on. Midway through decided I’m going to do a past diary on it. Put on the Kings-Lakers game. These
Kobe Bryant is kind of a spectacular person. No, I'm not talking about his moral or ethical views on certain things. None of that matters right now. This is meant strictly in a basketball sense. As you may have heard, in his latest "Kobe" antics, he scored 68 points in a charity game in China. Now, I know that since this was in a charity
I know we're all sick of Dwight. I'm especially sick of him after he just finished destroying my favorite team; but I digress. The other day I was reading the Orlando Sentinel and a writer I greatly respect said Dwight had to get used to being the 4th option. Excuse me, but Dwight is way too good to be the 4th option. I've been watching the
At this point, this debate has been well discussed, analyzed and picked through with a thinned tooth comb. This topic has been on just about every sports radio program, some news radio programs, every TV channel (absolutely every channel) and is the top button issue at every barber shop around the country. And it should be. Let's face it,
"Nash to Kobe!" That's the type of thing you might, before tonight, only hear in an NBA All-Star game. However, tonight we learned that Steve Nash will indeed be going to Los Angeles to join forces with Kobe Bryant. Earlier today it was rumored that the New York Knicks were the front runners in landing Nash, but 4 draft picks over 2
Throughout the condensed 2011-12 NBA season, there have been quite a few injuries because of the grueling 66-games in four months format. Add the Chicago Bulls' superstar Derrick Rose to the list. Of course, we all know the season was irregular because of the lockout that began in July of 2011 and ended in December. Instead of taking its
There isn't a better way for a team's first-year coach to make his presence felt than benching the team's superstar player. However, there isn't a better way to submit termination papers either. Welcome to the Los Angeles Lakkers' Mike Brown's problem. In the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Brown told Metta
It seems fast since the 2011-12 NBA season just started a little over a month ago, but thanks to a condensed season the 2012 NBA All-Star starters were announced today. The city of Los Angeles is the home to four of the Western Conferences' starters as Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum represent the Lakers and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin represent
