Laker Nation

You know life is good when you are watching Mbenga block a shot which leads to a Luke Walton jumper. The Lakers blew out another opponent Sunday night at Staples. This one was a result of great passing and team defense. The Lakers held the Raptors to only 37% from the field and outrebounded Toronto 54 to 36. The Lakers [...]

The Lakers were down big in the second half, but had an incredible run sparked by great defense and carelessness on Dallas's end. The Lakers outscored the Mavs by 14 points in the second half to come away with a 114-107 victory Friday night.

It seems like ever since that second half meltdown against the Hornets, the Lakers have dominated teams in the second half. Tonight was just another example. The Lakers looked decent through the first 30 minutes of the game, but blew it open midway through the third.

While fans didn't get Tacos tonight, they did get another W. Nine Lakers entered the game tonight -- eight of them scored double figures. That is what I call balance!

The Lakers continue to embarrass playoff teams of 2008 with their elite defense and great ball movement. Tonight, the victims were the Nuggets, who were held to only 90 points (FREE TACOS!) on under 43% shooting. The Lakers had 12 steals and 9 blocks.

The Lakers put on another show tonight. The show started with defense as the Lakers held the high-scoring Suns to only 92 points on the road.

Instead of a sluggish start and a strong finish, the Lakers decided to melt down in the fourth and get saved by a miraculous Kobe three pointer.

Another sluggish start. Another entertaining win for the Lake Show! It seems that no matter how terrible this team plays, we can still pull out wins. I know I say it in every post game report, but I love this teams depth. Every game we have different people finishing. Tonight, Lamar and Ariza stepped in to close the game. The [...]

Who would have though the Lakers would finish the game with a 29 point rout after that start? The Lakers got outplayed in the first quarter, but the rest of the game was all L.A.! The Lakers defense for the remainder of the game was some of the best I had seen in awhile. The Lakers once again showed what [...]

When the game started I told my friends, can we at least have it be close, and then just dominate in the end. I didn’t want to see Luke play the entire fourth in a blowout tonight. It turns out I got my wish as the Lakers trailed in the fourth, only to go on a huge run that couldn’t [...]

Tonight in Denver, the Lakers played a bit sluggishly, but forced enough turnovers and grabbed enough boards to win the game.

The Lakers took care of the young Blazers pretty easily tonight with a 96-76 win at Home.

This was an entertaining Friday night game as they closed out the preseason like I hope they pull off Tuesday night vs Portland -- only with Kobe in the lineup.

Welcome back to Laker basketball! It seriously feels like it has been forever. And it looks like the fans of Lakers Nation weren’t the only ones rusty from Laker basketball. The Lakers found a way to turn the ball over 23 times tonight in a poorly executed game. But it doesn’t really matter since it doesn’t count so let’s think [...]
