RECAP: Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers

October 21, 2018

The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets both suffered losses in their first games and were both looking for their first win. This was the first home game for LeBron James’ Lakers, and the buzz was high in media across the NBA. The visiting Rockets are the top-tier of the West, while their hosts last night are stuck in the middle of the pack.

Los Angeles Lakers: 2018 Season Preview

October 16, 2018

Relevancy has really been an issue for one of the most storied franchises ever in sports because the Los Angeles Lakers have failed to make the playoffs for the last five years and last season was no different.

Why Lonzo Ball Can Still Live Up to the Hype

September 2, 2018

The Lonzo Ball story is already unlike any other in NBA history. From the moment he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers a little over a year ago, the point guard was destined to endure the most scrutinized rookie season in recent memory. The pressure he was under is typically reserved for the league’s superstars, not teenagers who have yet to play a single professional game.

Entertaining Cavs-Lakers Clash Bodes Well For Both Sides

July 21, 2018

The cynical, stereotypical view of the NBA Summer League is that it offers no real indication of how teams will perform when the season starts for real in October.

Kawhi Must Recognize Opportunity in Toronto To Realize LA Dream

July 20, 2018

A little over a year ago, Kawhi Leonard had it all. Entering the 2017 playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs forward was considered the best two-way player in basketball and seemed destined assume the mantle as the leader of the most successful franchise in the NBA since the turn of the century. When he averaged 27.8 points per game on 52% shooting through the opening two rounds of the postseason, everything was going according to plan.
