Tradition!!

So I’ve slipped on posting a bit as of late and here is why: I’m gonna be a Pop real soon. The wife is pregnant and due in a few weeks and much of my time has been dedicated to making my home baby safe. But something came up that had me quite disturbed. It [...]

The 7 most obvious Game 7 storylines

With a game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals scheduled Thursday night between the Lakers and the Celtics here is a list of the most obvious storylines… 1. This will be the 17th Finals Game 7 in the NBA history. You can’t ask for more NBA excitement. 2. Lakers versus Celtics. ‘Nuf said! 3. Kobe’s [...]

I Love Derek Fisher

Thank you to Slim the Editor for the reminder that as a WC Bias contributor and the sole Laker fan on the site that I need to drop my two cents on tonights big Laker win. So here are a few thoughts about LA’s big win. 1. Kobe may be battling Magic and West for [...]

Public Safety Announcement

I would like to make a short Public Safety Announcement to all my fellow Sports Fans (including Boston Fans). The NBA Playoffs are on and Summer is here, hence BBQ time. So while you are dishing up some delicious meat product, make sure there is  plenty of safety served as a sidedish. This occurred to [...]

Lakers VS Suns: Gonna Be FUN!

With LA and Phoenix to play against each other in the Western Conference series, we look back at some of our fondest Lakers/Suns moments. Granted the series won t be the same without Raja Bell choking Kobe or Kwame Brown “destroying” Amare Stoudemire, this is still going to be a slugfest that we haven t [...]

Most viewed but not the most watched.

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 [...]

Could the Lakers be more fun to watch without Kobe Bryant?

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? [...]

No Ariza! Say it aint so!

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 [...]

Laker Nation Celebrate!

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 [...]

Lakers finally take out the Rockets, I can come up for air.

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 [...]
