The Lakers and Hot November Starts
Wed, Nov 26 | The Lakers Nation
Basketball-Reference.com: I probably don’t need to tell you this, but I’m going to anyway: the Los Angeles Lakers are torching the NBA right now. They’re currently 12-1, they rank 3rd in the league in offensive efficiency with an ORtg of 111.4, and they have the NBA’s best defense (96.5 DRtg)...

Lakers try to maintain reserve power on road
The Lakers boast one of the NBA's best second units, but the players, and Coach Phil Jackson, recognize they'll face much greater challenges outside the friendly confines of Staples Center. The Lakers' "Bench Mob," as they have dubbed themselves, might have their mettle tested this wee...

Fisher weighs in on Marbury mess
Derek Fisher has more than enough to keep him busy with the Lakers, but as president of the NBA Players Association, he has diverted a bit of that focus to the morass of issues swirling around the Knicks and embattled guard Stephon Marbury.

Whatever happened to Joe Crawford?
Crawford is officially a free agent, meaning any team in the NBA could pick him up. No. I don't look back,'' Crawford said. ``I'm happy I went to the Lakers and I thank them for giving me a chance. They saw something in me and they gave me the opportunity to find out that I can play with NBA players and...

Continue reading ‘Phil Jackson wants more from Kobe Bryant than another ‘81” Jackson says last season's NBA Finals proved the value of a team-oriented approach, which trumps personal scoring records such as the one Bryant had against Toronto two season ago.

Worst Draft in History?
So I'm watching the Lakers-Raptors game here at Staples Center, excited to see just how good Chris Bosh is this season in person and witness the development of Toronto's Andrea Bargnani, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NBA... You don't find anyone who has remotely developed into an impact pl...

Lakers breeze to 12-1 with 120-93 romp over Nets
Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, right, is guarded by New Jersey Nets' Vince Carter during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles, Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008. Gasol, who had 24 points and 12 rebounds against the Nets last February in his Lakers debut following his acquisition fr...

Opinion: FB&G: Fast Break Thoughts
One, Sacramento played three bigs - Brad Miller, Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson - who can shoot from the outside. Because of that, Lakers bigs had to go out to the perimeter with them, and that took them out of good help positions. Stu Lantz talked about this during the broadcast, and he’s ri...

Opinion: Reaction to first loss mixed
The Lakers didn't practice Saturday, so there's nothing new to report. There was quite a bit of reaction from Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Jordan Farmar after their first loss of the season Friday, however. Here's a copy of the... Jordan Farmar agreed that the Lakers' poor defense cost them.

Opinion: Cru’s Corner: Lakers vs. Rockets (Game 5 11/9/08)
When the game was over, the Lakers were looking down the throat of another unexpectedly huge blowout. This time it was of a team that had all of its major weapons ready to go. There’s no, “Yeah, buts” in this game. Battier or not, his presence wouldn’t have made up for the 29 points the Lakers thro...

Opinion: Crucifido’s Corner: Lakers Vs. Kings [Pre-Season Game 3, Oct. 12th, 2008]
Following the Lakers to Vegas were the ever-dwindling Kings of Sacramento. At this moment in time, a good team for the Lakers to tune up against. But really Vladi played a solid game as the first 3 in the rotation. I’m sure next game will see all 3 of the bigs start but for his turn Radmanovic did ju...

Opinion: Mile High Malaise: Lakers Flatten Listless Nuggets
Kobe Bryant passed early (six first quarter assists) and scored late (11 third quarter points) as the L.A. Lakers dismantled the Denver Nuggets 102-84 to take a 3-0 series lead. Bryant finished with game-high totals in points (22), assists (eight) and plus/minus (+21, tied with Derek Fisher) while tying for the team lead in rebounds (seven). He shot 9-19 from the field. Even more significant than Bryant's impressive numbers is the way that he controlled the game--and has controlled the entire series so far--with his scoring and passing; the Nuggets have tried several different defensive schemes but nothing they have done has stopped him individually or slowed down the Lakers collectively. Bryant simply reads the situation, shoots whe...

Cru’s Corner: Ka-Pau! Lakers Go 12 - 1
The Nets were on a roll and the Lakers are hot – so it promised to be a better game than the Kings one. The bigs (in the first half) were asleep on help inside again. Neither Pau nor Bynum was rotating over to seal off (this time) some baseline cuts that got the inside way too confused for how talente...
