Popular LA Lakers



What Can/Should We Expect?

It’s about five weeks until the Lakers head into training camp. Five weeks with really no basketball to speak of as we watch the start of football (both American and in Europe) and writers and bloggers start working on team previews. And when those previews come out, a lot of people are going to p... (original story)

Forum Blue and Olympic Gold

The Original Dream Team: Wilma “La Gazzella Nera” Rudolph and Cassius Clay dominated the headlines when the Olympics returned to Greece. The men’s team that the US sent would be overshadowed by these dynamic characters, but included 10 players that would eventually spend time in t... (original story)

Sun Yue: The Lakers' Buster Keaton

For those not familiar with the comedy legend (he's basically before the entire blogosphere's time), Keaton made his name off a blend of physical comedy and deadpan expression. And while I can't speak intelligently about Sun Yue's pratfall prowess, I witnessed today the rookie's ability to express "... (original story)

Questions of the day: On the Olympics, gold and priorities

There were mini-waves kicked up yesterday when it was reported Kobe Bryant said that, on the Importance-O-Meter, an Olympic gold medal trumps an NBA title. Why? "You're playing for your country. You're not playing for a region, a state … you're playing for the United States of America and that has... (original story)

Old school

Not the kind that involves your boy Blue (although that's pretty damn entertaining in it's own right). Instead, we're talking about a pairing of squads that takes one back to the days of yore (and provides us with an opportunity to use the word "yore"). We're talking a time so long ago tha...

Live from Staples- Lakers vs. Nuggets, Game 2

What's more exciting than Game 1 playoff action? Game 2 playoff action! Especially when Jeffrey Osborne sings the National Anthem. AK with the first quarter. FIRST QUARTER 10:57 - After seeing the first Laker possession evolve into a series of start stop passes and LO eventually putting up a prayer ... (original story)

Lakers/Spurs Game 4 Chat

Tonight could be one of the best and most entertaining games of the playoffs — I just have that feeling. Coming back home, the Spurs opened up the motion in their offense — that got some role players like Brent Barry open looks. They also had a fantastic game from Manu Ginobili, one that must ha...

Game Live Blog

Well, I guess it wasn’t technically live, unless you were at nomuskles house. He put together one of his popular live blogs of game one, so here it is in its entirety. Enjoy it and enjoy the win, even if it was not perfect or pretty. Playoff wins against quality opponents should not be taken [... (original story)

Great expectations

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Join us for Purple, Gold, and Blue at 11 am. We'll be talking Lakers-Celtics Finals with our guests, David Neiman of SportsHubLA.com and Gary Dzen of the Boston Globe Celtics Blog. Click on the show widget at the side of the page, or go straight to our show window by clicking here.... (original story)

Samurai Ronny

I mentioned yesterday (as perhaps the only major outlet to break this news, I might add) that Ronny Turiaf practiced with his hair out and wild, a decision I thought he made simply to let his braided hair breathe. As it turns out, there was a method to his madness. The do is braided again, but pulle... (original story)

Lakers/Nuggets Game 3 Chat

As we enter game three, I think the cliché fallbacks about effort and focus are appropriate here — the Lakers know how to beat the Nuggets, now they just need to do it in a more hostile environment against what will be a motivated Nuggets team. The Lakers have counted on windows of Nuggets disint... (original story)

In case you hadn't heard, it's Lakers-Celtics

Which, in case you haven't heard, is a matchup capable of invoking the proverbial trip down Memory Lane, a voyage that doesn't even require any actual walking or driving, just a basic cable subscription. The pairing of these particular teams is also bar trivia fodder for the ages. Hell, it's even go... (original story)

Live Blog Game 2

Once again Nomuskles took the time, so here is his live game blog. Pregame: Everything has been said about this game that can possibly be said. Let’s get to it! Oh wait. I almost forgot. I think the Lakers will lose this one, although I hope not. 1st Quarter Denver remains in their powder blues. ... (original story)

You Like Me

You really, really like me. Seriously, I am touched to have won the “Sixth Blogger of the Year” (best team-focused blog) in the Hardwood Paroxysm recent NBA blogger voting. Especially when I think of all the fantastic blogs I read and think, “Man, I wish I was that good.” Th... (original story)

Why games are played at night on TV, not on the radio at 1:58 pm PST

I was on with Steve Mason today, who asked for my prediction about Tuesday night's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. Having guessed Lakers in seven before the series started, I figured this would be a hard fought, knock down, knuckle dragger, very tight at the end, but eventually won by the S... (original story)
