Sasha out 10-14 days

Posted from Lakers Blog 37 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

I'll have more details in a bit, but quickly wanted to let people know that Sasha Vujacic is going to be shut down from roundball activities for anywhere from 10 days to two weeks. Further testing on his sprained left ankle revealed an avulsion fracture, which, in layman's terms, means that part of ... (original story)

Because it's apparently the hip thing to do

Posted from Lakers Blog 37 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

Let's talk a little Lamar Odom, shall we? 48 hours or so have passed since LO officially signed off, if need be, on being a Queens-bred version of Manu Ginobli or Leandro Barbosa (which may open the door for a preseason-successful Vlad Radmanovic to retain his starting gig, although that's hardly se...

Really, there aren't many other storylines of import

Posted from Lakers Blog 38 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

Which is why Lamar Odom continues to dominate purple and gold headlines. Sunday, before coming off the bench in L.A.'s exhibition win against the Kings in Vegas baby!, LO told the media that if his role is indeed that of a sixth man - and it isn't yet - he's on board: "You only get one or two shots ...

Preseason Game Three Chat: Vegas Baby!

Posted from Forum Blue And Gold 39 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

After all the time Kobe has spent playing basketball in Vegas the last couple of summers with Team USA, will that give him a home court advantage tonight? Whatever Kobe does, what I think we’re all looking for is growth, improvement, signs of thing gelling together. As this is the third game for t... (original story)

Mo LO

Posted from Lakers Blog 39 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

As mentioned in yesterday's practice report, talk again surfaced about the best role for Lamar Odom this season. Could, perhaps, that snug fit come as a sixth man off the pine? Phil Jackson used LO off the bench for much of yesterday's workout and after some sluggish possessions, the versatile forwa... (original story)

What happens before Vegas doesn't stay in El Segundo

Posted from Lakers Blog 40 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

Thus, I'm at liberty to provide tidbits from today's practice before the Lakers head to Sin City for two days of roundball. The afternoon featured a lot of half court scrimmage court played with an increased physicality at the behest of Phil Jackson. Having sufficiently run his teams' legs off on Fr... (original story)

Simmons on Baylor

Posted from Lakers Blog 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

With Elgin Baylor now out as Clippers GM, there's been a lot of reflection on his work as an executive (not very good, though constrained by near impossible conditions for most of his tenure) and how even if the Clippers were smart to officially hand Mike Dunleavy the management job he's been doing ...

Did We Learn Much?

Posted from Forum Blue And Gold 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

That looked and felt like an exhibition game. Guys getting tried out at new positions (Ronnie Brewer at the four?), turnovers everywhere, sloppy defense. This whole game was played at a preseason pace with preseason energy and preseason lineups, so there is only so much you can take away from it. Bu... (original story)

Lakers Preseason Game 2: Welcome To Fresno

Posted from Forum Blue And Gold 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

Just a few things to look for as many of us bounce back and forth between the Dodgers and the Lakers tonight. • Will we get to see Gasol and Bynum on the court at the same time? I hope so. We need to at some point. • Lamar Odom. One preseason game is less than meaningless, [...] (original story)

DailyHoops : LA Lakers

This little gem would qualify. The notion that Magic Johnson "faked" having HIV is, on its best day, shamefully ludicrous. But hey, at least these guys were being "edgy." As we all know, that's what matters most in today's media. Their station issued the inevitable "we regret these statements" state... (original story)

The Lakers, Hollinger style

Posted from Lakers Blog 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

There are folks who dig the numbers-centric take on NBA roundball by ESPN's John Hollinger. There are others who think the stats monger can stick his PER where the sun don't shine. And then there's me, who takes his results with a grain of salt but typically finds them interesting, even when I disag... (original story)

Sun Yue, high achiever

Posted from Lakers Blog 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

Forget the Chinese Magic Johnson comparisons. At least in regards to significant others, Lakers rook Sun Yue is more like the Chinese Marko Jaric. In other news, Phil Jackson, who missed Tuesday night's preseason opener with swelling and pain in his legs, was back at practice Wednesday, and wasn't i... (original story)

Purple, Gold and Blue alert!

Posted from Lakers Blog 41 days ago
DailyHoops : LA Lakers

It'll be a fairly Dodger-centric (that whole "playoffs" thing), but I'll be sure to get into some Lakers with Beto Duran of 710 ESPN. If you have a free moment, swing on by. AK (original story)
