The Lakers beat the Nest to end their home streak,

Kobe's triple-double propels Lakers to their 5th win of the season

  Bernie Bickerstaff with the 4-1 record – how about that? It was a good night (perhaps weekend, even)  for the purple and gold. Despite the absence of their new head coach and both their primary point guards, the Lakers continue to rise above the turmoil that has been their early season, in order to play their best on the [...]

Coach Bickerstaff goes out in fashion as the Lakers defeat the Suns, but miss out on Tacos

The Lakers falls in a close one to the Spurs,

  That’s two wins in a row for the Weekend With Bernie project. It’s not much, but at least it’s a streak on the right side of the column.

The Lakers lose another winnable game in Utah, 95-86, dropping them to a woeful 1-4.
