LA Lakers

November 15, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap Last night’s ‘must-see’ match-up between the LA Lakers and the Detroit Pistons in LA did not disappoint. There were a lot of story lines playing out, from Kobe Bryant and Richard Hamilton getting in each others grillz all night long, to Allen Iverson finally fitting in seamlessly to his [...]

November 12, 2008 – Dr. Dime In the NBA TV broadcast analysis of the Lakers/Dallas game tonight, Gary Payton made some pretty bold statements about Rajon Rondo and his place on the Championship Celtics last season.

October 28, 2008 – Dr. Dime Just hours before the tip of the NBA opening night games, I came across this video via Ball Hype. I believe it is proof that the Los Angeles Lakers are currently paying Andrew Bynum too much money. I believe that the message Bynum is sending the Lakers management is [...]

July 10th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious The NBA moratorium on officially signing free agents or completing any trades is over. The Raptors-Pacers blockbuster swap of TJ Ford for Jermaine O’Neal has been finalized, Baron Davis followed through on his commitment and inked a $65 million contract with the Clippers, Elton Brand signed with the Philadelphia [...]

June 18th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water Coming in to this game most of the discussions I heard regarding the game were about Kobe Bryant. Will he be able to extend the series for the Lakers? Will a win or loss affect his legacy in the NBA? Will Kobe be a passer, or will Kobe be [...]
