Pau Gasol

Despite not looking terrific in a 91-79 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in game 1 of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers appear a few tweaks away from being competitive in this first round matchup. Lakers Head Coach Mike D’Antoni said the Lakers didn’t need to make adjustments rather tighten up some of the [...]

Kobe Bryant is omnipresent. The Los Angeles Lakers managed to defeat the San Antonio Spurs sans the Black Mamba, but just because he wasn’t on the court, doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved. He was. Per Janis Carr of the Orange County Register, Kobe spoke with Pau Gasol at halftime and told him to be more [...]

Pau Gasol has a friend in Kobe Bryant. A good one. A mere few days removed from essentially calling himself and Pau an unstoppable offensive duo, Kobe took his support of the seven footer up a notch. Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the New Orleans Hornets, Bryant called Gasol his “dude” and asserted [...]

The going isn’t easy for the Los Angeles Lakers right now.

But then the Lakers lost to the Hawks, Kobe Bryant and all. Bryant has a severely [...]

With a little over 20 games left in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers may have to do something they never do. Lose. The Lakers optimistically like to remind themselves that they are only 13 games out of first place in their division, but they are now 17 games behind the first place team in [...]

Plenty of NBA teams will try to pry Dwight Howard from the Los Angeles Lakes this summer, but the Los Angeles Clippers won’t be one of them. Or will they? Per Chris Broussard of ESPN.com, there have been some rumblings that the Clippers are willing to make some cost-cutting moves in an attempt to lure [...]

Oh, Pau. Somewhere in the back of most of our minds, we thought the Los Angeles Lakers were going to make a trade. Even after general manager Mitch Kupchak said otherwise, there was a part of us that believed Hollywood’s finest were going to do something. Anything. Now, however, it’s become abundantly clear the Lakers [...]
