So apparently the Superbowl was the the most VIEWED event in televised history. I had the game on too, but I don’t remember WATCHING more than about 5 minutes. Same goes for the dreadful commercials. Why is that? 1. The Superbowl is lame (it just is). 2. The Halftime shows are awful (The Who were [...]

Dare I? Yes. The last two Laker games without Kobe Bryant, out with a left ankle injury, have been two of the most fun games I’ve seen from LA in a long time. Is the game super clean? No. Are there bad plays? Yes. But is there more ball movement? Oh yes. Is there effort? [...]

Artest is replacing Ariza as the Lakers defensive wiz. He brings more muscle, more offense (which we don’t need more of) and more unpredictability. The Laker Nation is well aware that Artest is an improvement in overall skills over the very talented Trevor Ariza. The Laker Nation is also well aware that Artest has been [...]

I’ve gotten some flack for not writing about the Lakers amazing run to the 2009 championship. But really what is there to say, I knew they would do it all year! (honestly there were moments I had my doubts. Just ask BSlim.)
The Lakers were tested in the second and third round against Houston and Denver. [...]

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written and I hate to disappoint the .00000000001% of the Earth’s population that actually care about what I have to write but I was preparing for the worst. I had dug myself a 50’s style nuclear bunker stockpiled with Guiness Stout and Firestone Pale Ale (for the [...]

It’s easy to answer when you look at the way the Laker’s are rolling so far in the 2009 playoffs. There’s about 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter of game 2 against Utah. Kobe’s got 3 points and 5 assists and the Lakers are ahead by 12. 
But if Kobe had numbers like that his [...]

 It is no coincidense that the Lakers are in the top 4 dream finals matches. We WANT to see the Lakers in the Finals. NBA fans either love them or hate them. And hate them so much that they don’t care who they play as long as they lose. But they might be disappointed this [...]

While making some good grub for the Editor and myself, the Lakers decided to play championship level defense. Well… not for the whole game but at least when it counts. They have yet to show that they can play that defensive level for the whole game but they did shut the Spurs down in the [...]

While trying to generate work for myself, I forgot to set the VCR to record the Lakers road game against the Rockets! I think that has only happen twice in my life!  Well, they won… but I didn’t get to take any part in it.
Yeah, I may not always watch the game live, but I [...]

Sorry y’all. I’ve been MIA. My life has been in a little slump lately and eerily mirrors that of the Lakers. Let’s take a closer look.

Got a job – At one point I was a member of the working class before that damn recession bit [...]
