Ironic that this post arrives on a day with almost no Lakers coverage (a little L.A. Times here, a little Daily News there) but an exceptional day illustrates a saturated seasonal norm. After Sunday's win over Golden State, I arrived at Fish's locker as he wrapped up a response to another writ...
A few thoughts about what could lie ahead during tonight's action... The "Great Discombobulated Battle of Aught Nine?" Lamar Odom's bone bruise (fingers crossed his knee is more "day-to-day" than "month-to-month") coming on the heels of Luke Walton's sesamoiditis forces Phil Jackson t...

Three Good: Kobe Bryant: Is there such thing as a quiet 31? If so, we saw it tonight. Kobe played an exceptionally controlled brand of basketball, racking up his points on only 15 shots from the floor and 10 trips to the stripe. He distributed (five dimes), pilfered (four steals), and general...

It's our once-weekly gab at the ESPN studios. Henry Abbott of ESPN.com's fantastic True Hoop blog calls in to talk the Lakers' seemingly absent leadership, Greg Oden, and basketball blogs worth reading besides ours. Plus, I share my "bro-ment" with Stephon Marbury at halftime during Tues...

The purple and gold 710 ESPN era (technically still in the making, but nonetheless very exciting, at least for us) is kicked off with a visit from the iconic, ridiculously cool-voiced Lakers P.A. announcer Lawrence Tanter. One of those proverbial "dudes you'd pay just to hear recite the pho...

Much talk these days among Lakers fans has centered around the slump currently endured by the heavily exalted Bench Mob. A recent three game roadie saw Trevor Ariza, Jordan Farmar, Lamar Odom and Sasha Vujacic (the "made men" in this particular crew, if you will) become repeat offenders i...

It takes some cash to take the family down to Chick Hearn Drive for a Laker game. There's the price of tickets, parking, a couple beers, a soda pop or two, some popcorn, and maybe a souvenir hat or something. For some fans, they might only be able to afford one game a year. Should you fall into that c...

If you need to decompress after watching the Lakers nearly blow a game to the Wiz, slip on the ol' ear phones, kick back and listen to the latest K Brothers podkast. We made our first international phone call (!!!) to talk with Canadian Tas Melas of The Basketball Jones about Lakers and Celtic...
