The panel debates the potential of teams like the Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, and Memphis Grizzlies to challenge the Thunder in the playoffs. They also explore the struggles of…

After the loss to the Clippers on Sunday, the Lakers spoke frankly about the reality of their situation. "We don’t have a huge margin for error. Nor can we create that margin organically,” said JJ Redick. "That’s how our team is constructed. We don’t have room for error — for much error," said LeBron James. From a practical standpoint, both agreed …

The Lakers barely escaped disaster against the Nets on Friday night, but it was pretty clear they'd need to play significantly better to have a chance to beat the Clippers. Didn't happen. The Lakers were outplayed on both sides of the ball almost from the jump, and while they tried to make a push in the second half, the game was too far out of hand…

Lebron lead the Lakers with 25 pts, 11 asts and 2 3's 19 for Hachimura and A.D. had just 16. The Lakers edged the Clippers in fastbreak points 15-13. Clippers lead by as many as 26. Nice performances from Ivica Zubac 21pts and 19 boards, James Harden also had a double double 21 pts 12 asts Norm Powell had 22 and Kawhi Leonard in 24 mins looked real…

The only thing worse than barely winning one of the ugliest basketball games the Lakers have played in years is barely losing one of the ugliest basketball games the Lakers have played in years. The Lakers used 38 points from Austin Reaves (13-23 from the floor) and 29 from LeBron James (plus eight rebounds, seven dimes) to squeak past the Brooklyn…

Austin Reeves scored a career-high 38 points, including 15 in the 4th quarter, and LeBron James added 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists as the Lakers, without Anthony Davis, held on to beat the New Jersey Nets 102-101. Former Laker D’Angelo Russell led the Nets with 19 points off the bench. The Lakers will look to extend their win streak to thre…

The Lakers have put a tremendous amount of faith in Austin Reaves. Not only have they asked him to take over the primary ballhandling/point guarding duties at a level he hasn't had to over the course of his career, they've also traded away the primary safety net (D'Angelo Russell). So it's Reaves or bust, not just big picture, but damn near every n…

The Lakers collapsed over the final 15 minutes of Monday's game against San Antonio. On Wednesday, the Lakers looked stagnant and sloppy for the first 24 minutes, giving up 66 points and falling behind by 12 at the break. For a 20-17 team, playing a Heat squad without Jimmy Butler, they simply had to find a way to win. And it wasn't easy, but over …

The Lakers had six players score in double figures, led by Rui Hachimura’s 23 points, as the Lakers snapped their 3-game losing streak, beating the visiting Miami Heat 117-108. LeBron James and Anthony Davis added 22, and Austin Reeves had 14 points and 14 assists as the Lakers rallied from 12 down at the half to win by 9. The Heat were led in scor…

Certain nights throughout a season can be described as "show me" games. One where the context clearly demands a certain level of effort and performance if a team is going to demonstrate the requisite seriousness and focus to consider themselves a legitimate playoff threat, let alone a title contender. Tonight's game against the Heat at the Crypt? I…

The Lakers can't quite decide what they are, or what they're supposed to be. On an emotional Monday night at the Crypt—in which the Lakers both honored the first responders and volunteers working tirelessly to gain full control of the wildfires still active around the city and care for those who have been displaced—LA started strong and faded hard.…

Victor Wembanyama had 23 points and 8 rebounds, and Chris Paul added 13 points and 10 assists as the San Antonio Spurs snapped their 3-game losing streak in beating the hometown Lakers 126-102. Anthony Davis scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the loss, while LeBron James contributed with 18 points and 8 assists. The Lakers will look to get…

The Lakers will play basketball tonight at the Crypt, hosting the San Antonio Spurs. Broadly, it's a sign that officials believe they have a better handle on the still-burning fires in Los Angeles, because they're willing to have emergency personnee available for a game at LA Live (and another at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, with the Clippers host…

As expected, Thursday's game between the Hornets and Lakers at Crypto.com Arena was postponed due to the wildfires raging throughout the Los Angeles area. Attempting to hold a basketball contest amidst all this chaos and tragedy would have been both tone-deaf and logistically irresponsible, particularly at a time when JJ Redick is dealing with the …

This is a difficult time in Los Angeles, with fire impacting massive portions of the city, unfathomable loss already and great uncertainty still ahead. How it influences the NBA calendar isn't a priority concern, but that said at least as of Wednesday night, there has been no announcement about whether the Lakers and Charlotte will actually be play…

There have been a few good candidates for "Worst" among the (now) 16 losses suffered by the Lakers over the course of this season. But Tuesday, the Lakers may have set a new bar. They went into Dallas facing a Mavs team without Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving, and playing on the second night of a back-to-back in which they had to travel back to from Me…

Quentin Grimes scored 23 off the bench and former Laker Spencer Dinwiddie added 22 as the Dallas Mavericks, playing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, beat the Los Angeles Lakers 118-97. Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 21 points and 12 rebounds, while LeBron James had 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in the loss. The Lakers will look to g…

At 20-15 and sitting fifth in the Western Conference (as of Monday night), the Lakers are very firmly in that cluster of teams that have shown themselves to be better than the fringe-y teams but not as good as the elite ones. As Rob Pelinka shifts into high gear (or at least Trade Season does), the Lakers have a very narrow window to pass through w…

As the saying often goes, this 119-115 loss to the Houston Rockets was “a tale of two halves” for the Lakers. In the first half, the Lakers looked like a team either experiencing some undefeated nightlife in Houston or that had gotten a little too high on their own supply of “The Lakers are back and playing defense, baby!!!” coverage over the last …
  continue reading
 
Anthony Davis scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to go along with 5 blocks, but it wasn’t enough, as the Houston Rockets outlasted the visiting Lakers 119-115. Jalen Green led the Rockets with 33 points, while Amen Thompson added 23 points and 16 rebounds. The Lakers will look to get back on the winning side of things Tuesday in Dallas agains…

The Lakers entered Friday's game against the Hawks at the Crypt with some tangible momentum, having won three of their last four, and six of their last eight. They used a very efficient effort on both sides of the ball to keep it going, picking up their 20th win of the season, 119-102. Offensively, LA was led by LeBron James, who followed up Thursd…

LeBron James set another NBA record, breaking Michael Jordan’s record of scoring 30 points or more for the 563rd time in his career. LeBron finished with 30 points and 8 assists, while Anthony Davis added 18 points and 19 rebounds to go along with 20 from Austin Reeves as the Lakers beat the visiting Atlanta Hawks 119-102. With the win, the Lakers …

Anthony Davis, who is now a fixture on the injury report before every game thanks to plantar fasciitis, was on the shelf for Thursday's tilt with Portland at the Crypt. On paper, it was a good game for him to miss, because the Lakers ought to be able to beat the Blazers—among the worst teams in basketball—without him. And that's exactly what happen…
  continue reading
 
LeBron James scored 38 points and added 8 assists, and Max Christie had a career high in points, 28, knocking down another career high five three-point shots as the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the visiting Portland Trail Blazers 114-106. The Lakers will look to continue their winning ways Friday night, when they’ll welcome Trae Young and the…

Nobody thinks the weekend deal bringing Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton to Los Angeles makes the Lakers title favorites, or even places them among the most elite teams in the NBA. The Cavs, occupants of that elite space, made the distinction clear on New Year's Eve. But how much does the trade improve the team, and their chances of a better re…

The Lakers brought a different look to the floor Tuesday night at the Crypt to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the ultimate result was the same as it's been for most teams against the Cavs this season: A loss. Cleveland ran its record to 29-4, the Lakers fall to 18-14. The Lakers played hard, and did some good stuff, but more than anything, the g…

Jarrett Allen scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as Cleveland won its 8th straight game and improved to an NBA best (29-4) as the Cavaliers beat the Lakers 122-110. Austin Reeves led the Lakers with a career-high 35 points, while Anthony Davis chipped in with 28 and LeBron James added 23. The Lakers will look to get back on the winning side o…

It's no surprise that much of the conversation at Lakers practice Monday in El Segundo was focused on a big 40th birthday for LeBron James. Few players are still active at 40, and nobody has ever been active and playing at the level LeBron still hits. And it's also appropriate that Monday served as an opportunity to introduce newly acquired Lakers …

WE HAVE A TRADE! Sunday morning, the Lakers made waves, acquiring 3-and-D wing Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second round draft picks. Finney-Smith has been on Rob Pelinka's radar for well over a year, and finally the Lakers were able to close the deal. On…

The Lakers knew they'd be without LeBron James (illness) for Saturday's game at the Crypt against the Kings. But then they lost Gabe Vincent (oblique) in the first half, and also saw Cam Reddish (back spasms) leave the game, though he was able to return. That's a lot of rotation minutes that had to be replaced, and the Lakers did a great job of it,…

Anthony Davis had 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists, and Austin Reeves added 26 points and a career-high 16 assists as the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the Sacramento Kings 132-122. The Lakers were forced to play without LeBron James, who stayed home due to illness. On New Year’s Eve, the Lakers will look to continue their winning ways wh…

Before the season started, Lakers GM Rob Pelinka discussed the team's lack of activity and noted that while they're always interested in improving at any time, at this point he'd need a little time to assess. “I think that’s really a question that I think we’ll have a better sense on after 30 games,” Pelinka said. Well, after LA's 115-113 win over …

The Lakers lost Anthony Davis seven minutes into their Christmas Day tilt in San Francisco against the Warriors. Bah humbug, right? Not so fast. The Lakers circled the wagons, and got big performances up and down the roster, using an Austin Reaves bucket with a second left to beat Golden State, 115-113. Reaves had a triple double, with 26 points, 1…

In what was one of the best Christmas Day games ever, the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Golden State Warriors on an Austin Reeves game-winning layup with one second remaining, 115-113. With Anthony Davis injuring his ankle halfway through the first quarter, LeBron James picked up the pieces, scoring 31 points and dishing out 10 assists, while th…

The Lakers offense has been stuck in the mud for the last few weeks. Monday at the Crypt against Detroit, the Lakers shot 54% from the floor, including 47% from 3-point range. They hit 20 of their 25 free throws, a perfectly solid 80%. The Lakers got a triple-double (28/11/11) from LeBron James. Max Christie chipped in with 17. So why did they ulti…

LeBron James scored 28 points on his way to a triple double and Anthony Davis added 19 points and 10 rebounds but it wasn’t enough as the Detroit Pistons swept the season series, beating the Lakers 117-114. The Pistons were led in scoring by former Laker Malik Beasley, who had 21 off the bench. The Lakers hope to get back on track on Christmas Day …

An 82-game season can have a ton of ebbs and flows, and often they feel extreme. Certainly that's been the case for the Lakers, who have followed one of the most inept stretches of team defense with another that has been, quite literally, the league's best over their last five games. Even more confusing, an offense that was once among the best in t…

In the NBA, it's hard to beat the same team in consecutive games. It's very hard to do it on their floor. And it's particularly hard to do it when in both games, the offense struggles to put points on the board. Yet that's what the Lakers have just done, finishing off a sweep of their mini-series in Sacramento, beating the Kings 103-99. Offensively…

LeBron James scored 32 points, including a season-high 23 in the first half, and D’Angelo Russell added 20 points off the bench as the Lakers beat the hometown Sacramento Kings 103-99. The Lakers' defense has been ranked number one overall in their last five games, holding opponents to under 100 in three of their last five. The Lakers will look to …

On the show, we talk a lot about the level Anthony Davis has to play at for the Lakers to have a good chance to win. Thursday in Sacramento, Davis met that standard, and then some. 21 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, three steals, six blocked shots. As JJ Redick noted after the game, Davis was able to dominate the game without actually being effi…

Anthony Davis scored 21 points, grabbed 20 rebounds and had 6 blocks and Austin Reeves scored 25 points, and LeBron James added 19 points and 7 assists as the Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings 113-100 in what was arguably the best Lakers win of the season. The Lakers will look to extend their winning streak to three games on Saturday when they play …

The modern NBA schedule, where the league tries to limit back-to-backs and excessive travel, has some quirks. Among them? The home-and-home, or in the case of consecutive games between the Lakers and Kings, the road-and-road. The Lakers play Sacramento twice, both times up north, first tonight and then Saturday afternoon. The Kings, lIke the Lakers…

When Darvin Ham was fired after last season—something most of us saw coming—we didn't hear much from the man himself. It's not surprising. Ripping the team that let you go is not a great way to set yourself up for the next job. On the show, we guessed (again, no big leap) that Ham felt he was treated unfairly, and was being scapegoated for issues t…

The Lakers may have steadied the ship a little over their last three games, winning two and putting a decent defensive performance on the board in the third. But they're still a group that obviously needs improvement if they're going to contend in a crowded Western Conference. Making trades, though, is no easy feat for this team, for a variety of r…

December 15 is generally seen as the start of NBA Trade Season, because so many players become trade-eligible at that point. And over the weekend, a couple of trades—including one sending former Laker Dennis Schröder to Golden State—got the ball rolling. Schröder was a name at least some Lakers fans had their eye on, but the Nets not only got a cou…

The Memphis Grizzlies have been a very good team this season, and have been flat-out excellent over the last month or so—one of the best teams in the NBA both offensively and defensively. So for the Lakers, who have not exactly set the world on fire over their last 11 games, a visit from Memphis to the Crypt represented a major test. And while it w…

Anthony Davis scored 40 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, and after missing two games, LeBron James returned to the lineup, where he scored 18 points, had 8 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists as the Lakers beat the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 116-110. The Lakers will look to continue their winning ways Thursday night at Sacramento.Lakers, LA Lakers, L…

Give the Lakers credit. They played hard Friday in Minnesota, and particularly in the second half, they played defense. But the trend of horrible offense, interrupted by a couple competent performances, continued as the purple and gold fell 97-87, their eighth loss in 11 games. The Lakers turned the ball over 11 times in the first quarter alone, en…

Anthony Edwards scored 23 points including 16 in the second half and former Laker Julius Randle added 21 as the Minnesota Timberwolves outlasted the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 97-87. For the second straight game LeBron James didn’t play, as he’s been excused from personal reasons. In his absence, Anthony Davis had 23 points and 11 rebounds, while …
