Los Angeles Lakers

The Phoenix Suns continue to make difficult decisions surrounding the team’s status at point guard. If the team isn’t being goaded into trading Steve Nash, it’s throwing a pile of money Goran Dragic’s way. And now, Phoenix has opted to place Kendall Marshall, their rookie facilitator outside of the rotation. According to Michael Schwartz of [...]

You would think after acquiring Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, the time for the Los Angeles Lakers to remain outside of the rumor-mill had finally come. Apparently not. Los Angeles improved their roster by leaps and bounds this past summer, adding not only the likes of Howard and Nash, but also the offense-heavy presences of [...]

Last season saw Dwight Howard undergo constant chaos. Yes, most, if not all of it, was his own doing. Regardless of the frustration surrounding Howard’s last year in Orlando, there is something we should know as fans: It wasn’t an easy year for Howard either. “There was a practice where I couldn’t even bend over. [...]

Is Kobe Bryant a liar? No, not that we can prove. That said, don’t bother buying into the self-imposed retirement talk. Bryant, a five-time NBA champion, made it clear that he may have no intention of playing beyond the life of his current contract, which expires after the 2013-14 campaign. From Ken Berger of CBSSports.com: [...]

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the biggest fan of Dwight Howard. From who the real ‘Superman’ is to ‘who’s the better center in the NBA?’, the two have had more than a little to say about each other. Frankly, Shaq has been the one doing more of the provoking. Though his aggression towards Howard seems relatively passive [...]

Dwight Howard was on the court Tuesday, participating in his second straight contact-drill filled practice. These are the first few on-court tests since Howard went down to an injured back, requiring surgery. Though he participated in essentially all drills-including offensive and defensive skeleton sets-Howard was held out of the night session 5-5 scrimmage. There are [...]

September 18, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The Miami Heat make everyone look old. I mean, everyone. They make dynasties look antiquated before they’re even officially dynasties. Every fast break, every globetrotter alley-oop attempt was a slap in the face against which teams had no defense. For every game played against the Heat last year, it [...]

September 17, 2012 – Rob De France 7’1, 325 lb. rapper, actor, TNT analyst, and 15-time All-Star, the always irreverent Shaquille O’Neal criticized Dwight Howard’s move to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move which so closely mirrors O’Neal’s own defection from the Orlando Magic 16 years earlier. Howard can only hope to enjoy similar success [...]

September 11, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The off season has seen no regression for the Heat’s Chris Bosh. The newly minted NBA champion has been talking lately about gaining some weight in order to facilitate a move to the center spot. “Chris Bosh is adding bulk (six pounds of lean muscle) to prepare for the [...]

September 10, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim As part of the core of perhaps the NBA’s most despised team, Dwyane Wade knows a thing or two about “making it work”. Despite acquiring the league’s best big man and one of its best floor generals, skepticism abounds among the NBA’s elite when it comes to the Lakers. Kevin [...]
