Lakers-Nuggets Series Preview: Davis v. Jokic, DLo vs. Murray, LeBron vs. the Odds, and more!
The overwhelming consensus has the defending champion Denver Nuggets winning their first-round series against the Lakers, and relatively easily. And it makes sense why, given all their credentials and that Nikola Jokic/Jamal Murray pairing. But the Lakers have played extremely...
04.18.2024
Why the Lakers Have a Better Chance to Beat the Nuggets Than People Think
Everyone has the Nuggets beating the Lakers. Everyone. And why not? Denver are the defending NBA champions. They're elite. And they've won seven straight games over the Lakers. The same Los Angeles Lakers that were a bit of a basket...

The Lakers Beat Pelicans 110-106, Advance to Face Nuggets in the First Round of the Playoffs

04.16.2024
Play-In Preview, Lakers Vs. Pelicans: Can LeBron Stop Zion Again? Who Stops Anthony Davis?
The Lakers spanked the Pelicans on Sunday to earn their way to the 8-seed and... a repeat of Sunday's game in New Orleans. This time, however, the winner of the game advances straight into the rest of the postseason, finishing...
04.15.2024
Lakers Dominate Pelicans, 124-108, Rematch Tuesday For Seven Seed Play-In.
The Lakers played about as poorly as a team can Friday in Memphis without actually losing. Sunday, they made up for it in a huge way. Win, and the Lakers would solidify an 8-seed, and a chance to get into...
04.13.2024
Undeserving Lakers Escape From Memphis With a 123-120 Win Over Grizzlies.
They didn't deserve it, but the Lakers got the win anyway. Against a Memphis Grizzlies team that had 13 players on the injured list, eight players in uniform, and zero players who started the season playing meaningful minutes for an...
04.12.2024
LeBron, Anthony Davis Travel for Lakers-Grizzlies. Plus, Should Darvin Ham Shorten the Rotation?
Given the disappointment of Wednesday's results and the box it puts the Lakers in from a standings perspective - they're far more likely now to be a 10 seed than anything else - there was at least some speculation that...

04.11.2024
Is It Fair for Lakers Fans to Criticize Anthony Davis for Missing the Warriors Game?
Anthony Davis has been outstanding for the Lakers this season. He's put up numbers. He's been available, piling up minutes despite a variety of ailments. He's anchored a Lakers defense that often becomes catastrophically bad without him available. But the...
04.10.2024
With Anthony Davis Out, Lakers Lose 134-120 to Golden State Warriors... Likely to Finish 10th In the West.

Lakers Face Must-Win Game Against Golden State Warriors... Plus, What's D'Angelo Russell's Future with the Team?
Things are getting really tight in the Western Conference, and number of combinations and permutations when it comes to potential end-of-the-year standings could make your eyes bleed. The Lakers could still finish anywhere from 6th (with a lot of help)...
04.08.2024
Anthony Davis Re-Injures Eye During Lakers' 127-117 Loss to Timberwolves, Fall Back to Nine Seed
LeBron James (flu-like symptons) was already out of the lineup Sunday for LA's matchup against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves at the Crypt. Still, they got off to a great start, led 37-33 after the first quarter, and kept the lead...
04.06.2024
Davis, LeBron and Russell Shine as Lakers Beat Cavaliers 116-97, Move up to 8 Seed for Play-In.
Thanks to an excellent road trip and a well-timed skid from the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers showed up at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday with a chance to move, however temporarily, into the 8th spot in the Western Conference. That would,...
04.05.2024
Rui Hachimura Has Juiced the Lakers' Offense, and Michael Cooper May be Entering the Hall of Fame.
The path this season for Rui Hachimura hasn't exactly been super duper smooth. There have been injuries, inconsistent performance, and extremely inconsistent stretches of playing time. His path to the starting lineup at the beginning of last month was somewhat...
04.04.2024
Lakers Finish 5-1 Road Trip with 125-120 Win Over Wizards. Jarred Vanderbilt Close to Return?
When you get to the last game of a six game road trip, there are all sorts of ways to view the game. Some might land on "just win, style points don't count," especially given the Lakers were playing on...
04.03.2024
Lakers Roll Raptors 128-111, 4-1 on Road Trip... But Will They Ever Move Up in the Standings?
The Lakers this season have generally played to the level of their competition. That's a nice thing in games against, say, Milwaukee or Oklahoma City. But it's been an issue against the lousy teams in the league as well. Tuesday...
04.02.2024
The Lakers Are Winning More Games, But What Have We Really Learned About Their Postseason Potential?
Even as the Lakers are winning more games (7-3 over their last 10, 18-8 over their last 26), it's still a little tricky to figure out exactly what they are. How good are they? Are they more contender than pretender?...

LeBron James Hits Nine 3's, Scores 40, (Sloppy) Lakers Beat Nets 116-104
After dropping Friday's game to the Pacers in Indiana, the Lakers restarted their roadtrip in Brooklyn with a clear mandate - sweep the final three games, all coming against weak teams. And on the one hand, the Lakers did some...
03.30.2024
BONUS: Lakers Lose In Indiana, Waste an Opportunity to Gain Ground in the Western Conference
In Memphis, the Lakers couldn't miss. Friday in Indiana? How does 16.7% from three point range sound. They held a Pacers team that hung 145 on them at the Crypt a week or so ago to 109 points, but because...
03.29.2024
D'Angelo Russell says he wants to remain a Laker, and Gabe Vincent Reportedly May Return Sunday vs. Nets

03.28.2024
LeBron Returns, Rui Hachimura puts up 32 as Lakers Beat Grizzlies 136-124.
Was it a perfect game? Not as much as a 136-124 score might indicate. At one point in the third quarter, the Lakers pushed their lead to 27, creating a potential opportunity for the starters to rest for basically the...
03.27.2024
The Lakers win 128-124 in Double OT over the Bucks, without LeBron. Signature Victory of the Season?
Game of the season for the Lakers? That's up for debate and personal taste, but there's no question Tuesday's 128-124 double overtime road win over the Milwaukee Bucks, short LeBron James no less, is on the short list of signature victories...
03.26.2024
LeBron Doubtful for Tonight's Game vs. Bucks... and Can the Lakers Catch the Suns?
The Lakers kick off a six game road trip tonight in Milwaukee. Normally this sort of thing would be looked on with some bit of dread, especially given that the Lakers have been a horrible road team all season. And...

03.23.2024
Lakers Beat Sixers 101-94, Behind 23/19 from Anthony Davis. D'Angelo Russell sets Franchise Record.
It was not exactly the sort of inspired, confidence building effort the Lakers probably hoped for, but in the end it was enough for LA to get what it needed—a win. They beat the visiting, and badly slumping, Philadelphia 76ers...
03.22.2024
Should the Lakers Make Cam Reddish a Starter Again? Plus, Back Surgery for Jalen-Hood Schifino.
The Lakers still have designs on moving up in the Western Conference, and the narrowest of windows in which to get it done. There are opportunities. The Suns, for example, have an insanely brutal schedule over their last 10 games,...

On Monday, we discussed how the Lakers were entering a critical stretch of games that could make or break the quest to, at minimum, maintain the nine seed in the play-in standings, if not actually rise higher. Why? Because most...
03.18.2024
Has the LeBron James/Anthony Davis Window Closed for the Lakers?
The Lakers had a lousy weekend. Saturday's game was marred by an eye injury to Anthony Davis, one that has him listed as questionable for tonight's game at home vs. Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Lakers lost to Golden State, and the...
03.17.2024
Lakers Lose 128-121 to Golden State Warriors, Drop to 10 Seed, Anthony Davis Suffers Eye Injury
As far as Saturdays go, this was not a good one for the Lakers. They lose 128-121 at home to the Golden State Warriors, in a game that was filled with frustrating reviews, shot clock problems and a first quarter...
03.15.2024
Lakers May Be Locked Into the 10 Seed, Plus D'Angelo Russell Speaks Out About Darvin Ham and More

03.13.2024
Lakers Vs. Kings Preview: Can Anthony Davis Finally Beat Domantas Sabonis?
The Lakers have struggled with the Kings for a while now, and a big part of that is the success Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis has had against Anthony Davis. Why has Sabonis (who certainly has success against... most everyone) fared...
03.12.2024
Can the Lakers' Newly Great Offense Make Use of Spencer Dinwiddie? Plus, Kobe's Statue has Typos!
Remember when the Lakers had a terrible, terrible offense, and the only way they could score was in transition or at the free throw line? Well, that's not an issue anymore. The Lakers have, particularly since reconfiguring the starting lineup...
03.11.2024
Historic Performance from Anthony Davis Leads Lakers Past Timberwolves, 120-109
Minnesota came into Sunday's game against the Lakers at the Crypt down two of their bigs - Karl Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. That meant Anthony Davis was in position to, and NEEDED to, dominate. And dominate he did. AD's...
03.09.2024
D'Angelo Russell Puts up 44 Points, Anthony Davis Guts Out Shoulder Injury as Lakers Beat Bucks, 123-122

Has Darvin Ham Lost the Locker Room (Again), as Lakers Get Ready for Huge Game vs. Bucks.

Kings-Lakers Preview: A Must-Win Game To Avoid Play-In. Plus Gabe Vincent Back in March?

Davis, Russell, Defense Dominate as Lakers Blow Out Thunder 116-102

LeBron James Scores 19 in Fourth Quarter, Fuels Lakers' 116-112 Comeback Win Against Clippers
