Laker Nation

The Charlotte Bobcats brought their 11 game losing streak into Staples, and it took nothing short of a furious run by the Lakers to fend them off, 101-100.

Two wins in a row for these Lakers, and though it’s nothing relatively impressive, we’ve learned this season that we must appreciate small glories, and a two-win streak is just that.

Smiling faces - all it took was a victory. No matter the opponent…no matter the arena – when you’ve lost four in a row like the Lakers have, getting any win means something.

In their fourth loss in a row, the Lakers, again, fell behind to start the game, and had no choice but to play catch-up to give themselves a chance to win.

Are the Lakers the most embarrassing team in the NBA? After yet another disappointing loss, this time to the (4-17) Cleveland Cavaliers, unfortunately they could very well be.

Darren Collinson threw a pass and Dwight Howard jumped in, intercepted the ball and threw it over his head as he fell into the first row of seats at American Airlines Center. It resulted in a tip-in by Darius Morris, which gave the Lakers a 100-71 lead halfway through the fourth quarter. Up by almost 30-points and still playing defense [...]

It might be improper to quote him in light of recent events, but Phil Jackson once said that there’s a lot more to winning championships than just talent and hard work. He said there’s a bit of luck that comes with it as well. In short, various circumstances have to intersect for a team to win it all in the [...]

Just when you thought it was safe to get excited…the Lakers lose to a sub-.500 team. It’s a familiar scenario, yes? No matter who the Lakers are coached by and no matter who is on the roster, when the time comes to play a bottom-dwelling team, that team somehow finds their inner beast and makes it a point to play [...]
