Much is talked about the Lakers and their efficient triangle offense, the post play of the bigs, and of course the lethal Kobe Bryant. However, the defense of the defending champions should not be overlooked. The Lakers have arguably the best defense in the league. The Laker ...(more)

With the trade deadline roughly two and a half months away rumors are starting to trickle in pertaining to possible roster moves ect.  The Lakers clearly have a deficiency in terms of bench depth/production, an area that for all intents and purposes is the only chink in their armor outside of aging ...(more)

I know this already aired a couple of days ago, but I only just now came across it and felt compelled to share it with the board.

There was an odd little piece from Laker LAT beat reporter Broderick Turner that just got posted about Sasha Vujacic lamenting the fact that he's been relegated to "garbage time" minutes as the 3rd string back up to the shooting guard position, behind Sha ...(more)

they are showing our beloved defending world champions on TV tonight on NBA.TV.  I didn't get the NBA league pass this year thinking we'd see our Lakers on TNT, ESPN and NBA.TV a majority of the time.  How wrong I was, so far anyway, but at least I get to see them live tonight.  Quit showing the crappy teams on ...(more)

Livendienla couldn't use his season tickets to last night's game against the Hornets, so he graciously offered them to me.  Thank you very much Livendienla, we had the greatest time!  This was the first time I've been to a Laker game since they played at the Forum.  My friend that went with me had never seen a Laker game ...(more)

I'm expecting a visit from punchline during this thread.


Good win by the Lakers against the Hornets.. The bench struggled in the 4th quarter, but the important thing is that our starters got a nice rest.

Still no Pau Gasol and were still doing good without him. Man Lakers is going to win it three to five years.  In what was billed as the biggest challenge for the Lakers in the early going, the defending champions answered in resounding fashion, thrashing the ...(more)

Ever since the Lakers traded Shaq away and gave full reign to kobe i never thought anyone would be as important to the success of the franchise than kobe.  But after seeing how the lakers have played without pau and how they played with him against Chicago I am a believer that ...(more)

it's time for Derek Fisher to be relegated to the bench.  It pains me to say it because Fish has been nothing but class and professionalism since he became a Laker in 1996.  Coming out of a small college and overachieving to become a 4-time world champion are obvious testaments to his work ethic and commitment.  ...(more)

The way I see it, it's a no-brainer that the Lakers should sign Iverson, to join what is already the greatest show on earth. It's really a no-lose situation. The upside is, Iverson is still a pretty good offensive player, and would be a huge upgrade over Farmar, Sasha, Brown, even Fisher. Iverson would likely mellow out & except a reduc ...(more)

It was a long time ago, and I think it shows how much he's maturing as he gets older.

We're all grown men, we can take the good and the bad about our team, without going all Che-Ne on everyone.

I'm did the Prediction contest and didn't see the Hornets game thread. So i'll start it since dpwtv might be out of town still.

I really like the way Kobe shot the ball against the Nets. Did anyone else notice he had Slower release and a higher arch on his threes? Looked goo
