It's been a hectic 5 weeks for the Lakers after hiring Mike D'Antoni in place of Mike Brown and Bernie Bickerstaff as their head coach. D'Antoni was pretty much thrown into a blaze of fire expected to extinguish it with a bottle of water. But he's getting to it. While the team is still miles […]

For the first time this season, the Lakers won back-to-back games on the road beating Washington and Philadelphia over the weekend.

Despite being the only team in the NBA that have yet to lose at home and being a game and a half in front of the defending champions for the top spot in the east, the New York Knicks (16-5) will not be the subject of conversation for tonight's first matchup with the Lakers (9-13). […]

After a water break at Staples Center last Sunday, the Lakers (9-12) are back out on the road again for the next 5 games starting in Cleveland tonight.

The Lakers (9-10) are 1-1 in this initial 3-game road trip before heading back home for a pit stop on Sunday against Utah.

21 Turnovers. 20 missed free-throws. 2-point loss. To spectators, 17 missed foul shots wouldn't have been too much to foil a Lakers win (7-8) over the wounded Indiana Pacers (7-8), who were still without their go-to scorer, Danny Granger. But those numbers don't even come close to what the Lakers are really having trouble with […]

The hiring of Mike D'Antoni didn't go well with a lot of people and many Laker fans. His fit with the Lakers has been scrutinized even before coaching a single game. But whether you believe in D'Antoni or not, he is now the head coach and mostly likely here to stay regardless of the outcome […]
