Lakers Take Jazz in 5, Move On
Filed in Uncategorized, April 27, 2009, 11:38 pmIt must have been a sad day for Utah Jazz fans. There sat Jerry Sloan, in the modern press conference table with his surprisingly happening purple tie. He spoke of the past and John Stockton, and I saw a grown man almost become teary at how hard John used to set screens (this man must [...]
Kobe Recalls He’s the 2nd Best Shooting Guard Ever, Lakers go up 3-1 Against Jazz
Filed in Uncategorized, April 26, 2009, 2:31 amI’ve sat here and theorized on Kobe Bryant’s leg fatigue all season. Everyone has been looking at Kobe’s “true” age because of his straight from high school jump to the NBA. Everyone (especially me), now should put their notes away. “Black Mamba” will take us to school.
The Lakers beat the Jazz 108-94. Kobe went off [...]
Kobe Loses the Touch, Jazz Win Game 3, 88-86
Filed in Uncategorized, April 23, 2009, 10:47 pmAs Deron Williams made a go ahead fadeaway jumper (Derek Fisher got lost on Willams’ hesitation dribble after his crossover), I thought the game meant good things overall for the Lakers.
After all, Kobe Bryant shot 5-24 from the field, Gasol shot an uncharacteristic 4-10 from the free throw line, and Andrew Bynum “played” 7 minutes [...]
Lakers Go Up 2-0 On Jazz, Utah Has One Hope
Filed in Uncategorized, April 21, 2009, 11:45 pmThe Lakers kept fully flexing their offensive might against the Utah Jazz. Kobe Bryant was there, fake, fake, fake, impossible fadeaway - squish. He finished with a very versatile 26 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.
Odom was a near-perfect 8-9 shooting for 19 points. Gasol an insane 9-11 for 24 points. Shannon Brown provided a [...]
Playoffs Weekend Fun Extravaganza
Filed in Uncategorized, April 19, 2009, 10:45 pmFor NBA fans, there is one phrase that brings excitement to their lives more than any other - NBA Playoffs.
It is the reason we eat, the reason we sleep, the reason we continuously play hypothetical team match-ups in our heads. I woke up with friends to watch the Celtics get introduced to the phenom that [...]
Lakers VS Jazz Playoff Preview Fun
Filed in Uncategorized, April 15, 2009, 12:15 amIt was a strange premise for a game. The Utah Jazz, looking to beat the Lakers to have a chance at finishing the 7th seed so they could avoid the first round 1 VS 8 matchup against Los Angeles.
What about the Lakers, you ask? Don’t they want to let the Jazz win, considering how tough [...]
Lakerhead Daily Fully Endorses LeBron James As MVP
Filed in Uncategorized, April 12, 2009, 11:03 pmThose who know me know I don’t just bleed purple and gold. I bleed Kobe & Bryant. Me and Kobe go way back. I watched a high school kid come into the NBA and lay fire to it. After watching the singular force known as Michael Jordan play so ruthlessly and so elegantly, I dreamed [...]
Lakers Can’t Win in Portland
Filed in Uncategorized, April 10, 2009, 10:22 pmThere has always been something about the Lakers playing in Portland in the regular season that the team has not been able to get over. Perhaps the great fans and playoff atmopshere are just too much to take when L.A. knows that it’s not the playoffs.
The Blazers beat the Lakers tonight in Portland, 106-98. The [...]
It’s Bynumania!
Filed in Uncategorized, April 9, 2009, 11:00 pmThere is one word to sum up the return of Andrew Bynum from 10 weeks of recovering from a torn MCL. Miraculous. How else could you describe 16 points, 7 rebounds, and freeing Pau Gasol to be Pau Gasol at power forward against a red hot Denver Nuggets team (Lakers win, 116-102)?
With Andrew coming back, [...]
Lakers Out-Offense the Kings
Filed in Uncategorized, April 7, 2009, 8:38 pmThe Laker defense just wasn’t there again in Sacramento. As the Lakers went down by 11 points in less than 7 minutes, the Lakers called a timeout.
I would pay large amounts of money to be a fly on that Laker bench for that timeout. Phil Jackson must have ripped the team. It worked….sort of. The [...]
