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…

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…

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…

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…
  continue reading
 
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 …

The Lakers are back in action, after a long (by NBA standards) stretch between games, facing the Timberwolves tonight in Minnesota. And while Austin Reaves (questionable) might be on the floor, LeBron James didn't even make the trip. He's out for tonight, and may not play on Sunday at home against Memphis, thanks to an injured foot. (No announcemen…

After a couple of days off (including one "get what you need" day) the Lakers got back on the floor Wednesday in El Segundo, and there were some welcome bodies back on the floor. Namely, Austin Reaves was back. Not exactly practicing fully, JJ Redick said, but doing a lot of 5-on-5 work, which points to a potential return whether on Friday in Minne…

December 15 is a huge date in the NBA. That's when a big chunk of the league, including players who signed free agent deals last summer, becomes trade eligible. (85 players, according to ESPN.) It's hard to know what the market will look like. Summer, for example, was a lot slower than many free agent periods, thanks to the new rules in the CBA tha…

One of the interesting perks of the new NBA Cup tournament is the impact it has on the schedule. Because the league needs to leave space for games that are impossible to slate before the seasons starts, there's about a 10-day stretch or so that provides a lot more off-days than is typical in the regular season. For the Lakers, it means no games unt…

It took a minute for the Lakers to get going, but once they did, Sunday's game at home against the Portland TrailBlazers looked a lot more like fans expected it would, even with LeBron James (foot) joining Austin Reaves and the rest of the limpy Lakers in street clothes. In games like this, it's hard to pull lessons that apply for the long term. Th…

Anthony Davis scored 30 points, grabbed 11 boards, and blocked 5 shots as the Los Angeles Lakers snapped their 3-game losing streak, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 107-98. LeBron James missed his first game of the season with a foot injury, but Rui Hachimura scored 23 and D’Angelo Russell added 28 points in his absence. Lakers, LA Lakers, Los A…

On the one hand, the Lakers definitely played a better game Friday in Atlanta. They got some buckets, showed some energy and generally speaking put in a professional effort. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both excellent, and some supporting players stepped up as well. This should be the standard, of course, but anyone who has watched the Laker…

Trae Young hit a game-winning three-pointer in overtime, scoring 31 points and adding 20 assists as the Hawks outlasted the Lakers in overtime, 134-132. LeBron James recorded a triple-double with 39 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Anthony Davis contributed 38, but it wasn’t enough as the Lakers closed out their 4-game road t…

The Lakers have some serious problems right now. LeBron James, rather uncharacteristically, is one of them. His play over the last 10 days or so has not been good. Not in a "by LeBron James standards" kind of way, either. The shot has been off, the turnovers are up, the defense has been... lacking. But to this point, at least, LeBron's health hasn'…

It went from bad to worse for the Lakers. Outscored by 29 Monday in Minnesota, the purple and gold followed that up on Wednesday with a 41-point loss in Miami. And if we're all being honest, the game didn't seem as close as the score might indicate. Miami was basically working against warm up levels of defensive resistance all night. It might seem …

Tyler Herro caught fire in the 3rd quarter as he scored 21 points on seven made three-pointers as the Miami Heat crushed the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 134-93. Herro led the Heat with a total of 31 points with nine made three-pointers, while LeBron James was the lone bright spot in his return to Miami, scoring 29 points to go along with 8 assists.…

The news on Jarred Vanderbilt keeps getting worse. The Lakers revealed Tuesday (via Shams and Dave McMenamin at ESPN) that Vanderbilt, who is yet to play this season, has suffered a setback in his rehab. Not with the surgically repaired feet that have kept him out to this point, but because of fluid buildup on his left knee. So they'll have to slow…

It was always going to be a tough slog for the Lakers coming into Minnesota after grinding out a win Sunday night in Utah against the Jazz. LA arrived still shorthanded (no Austin Reaves) and definitely weary, having played approximately 17 games in the last week. But even with all of that, the Lakers simply looked lifeless after the first 12 minut…

The Lakers were in Minnesota playing the second game of back-to-back road games and, as expected in the NBA, they struggled to keep up with the very young and athletic Minnesota Timberwolves, losing by a score of 109-80. LeBron James scored a season-low 10 points on 4 of 16 shooting, while Anthony Davis made just 4 of 14 shots, totaling 12 points. …

The Lakers came into Sunday's game in Utah a weary team, and beyond their normal slate of injuries (Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaxson Hayes) they added D'Angelo Russell (illness), Cam Reddish (also sick) and Austin Reaves (pelvic contusion suffered in his fall Friday vs. OKC). Circumstances, then, transformed the game from, with a little fo…

Anthony Davis scored 33 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and LeBron James added 27 points and 14 assists as the Los Angeles Lakers held on to edge the hometown Utah Jazz 105-104. With the victory, the Lakers improved to (12-8) on the season and (5-5) on the road. The Lakers will play back-to-back road games when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves…

There were plenty of things to like about the way the Lakers played Friday against Oklahoma City, despite losing 101-93 to the Thunder. Most of them have to do with improvement on the defensive side of the ball. Low bar to clear, of course, but the Lakers played as good a game defensively as they have in a while, against arguably the NBA's best tea…

Rookie Dalton Knecht led the Lakers wit…

After winning six straight, the Lakers came into Wednesday's game in San Antonio having lost three straight, one in a heartbreak (vs. Orlando) and two in a pasting (Denver and Phoenix). They BADLY needed a sustained, quality effort against a rapidly improving Spurs team... and they got it. Behind their most balanced effort offensively of the season…

On the bright side, Saturday against Denver the Lakers were outscored by 22 in the third quarter. Tuesday in Phoenix, it was only 18. Once again, the Lakers took a tight game at the half and completely lost the thread in the third, en route to a 127-100 loss that did a lot more than simply ding the team's chances of advancing out of their group in …

Devin Booker scored 26 points and Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each added 23 as the Phoenix Suns handed the Los Angeles Lakers their third straight loss 127-100. Anthony Davis was the Lakers' lone bright spot, scoring 25 points, grabbing 15 rebounds while blocking 4 shots. The Lakers will look to get back on the winning side of things Wednesday ni…

The Lakers were a pretty bad defensive team last season. This season, they're pretty bad again. Which isn't all that surprising when you consider it's almost entirely the same roster as a year ago, and the major change (Dalton Knecht for Taurean Prince) probably makes them a little worse on that side of the ball. So in the wake of Saturday's second…

Less than a week ago, the Lakers were riding high, riding a six-game winning streak and sitting near the top of the Western Conference standings. But that was before a two losses against quality teams that have let a lot of the air out of LA's balloon. First, Thursday night the Lakers lost on a last second shot from Orlando's Franz Wagner, a disapp…

Nikola Jokic scored 34 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 8 assists as the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angles Lakers 127-102. With the defeat the Lakers have now dropped back to back home games for the first time this season. Austin Reeves had 19 points and LeBron James chipped in with 20 in the defeat. The Lakers will look to get back on t…

Hard to believe, but the Lakers actually led Saturday's game at the Crypt against the Denver Nuggets by 10. That, to say the least, didn't last. The Nuggets won the third quarter by 22 -- 22!!! -- and continued the onslaught into the fourth burying the Lakers in an avalanche that'll feel familiar to a lot of fans, given Denver's dominance over LA o…

In the Western Conference, teams that don't close games they were in position to win will feel it in the end. That's certainly what happened to the Lakers on Thursday night. To be sure, the visiting Orlando Magic, even without its star (Paolo Banchero) and playing shorthanded beyond that (no Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, no Wendell Carter, Jr.) still r…

The Lakers have had long stretches this year where news on Jarred Vanderbilt has essentially been non-existent. And for the most part, it has been a matter of no news not equaling good news. There's no update because he's not making progress. Well, sometimes getting news isn't good, either. Such was the case Wednesday, when the Lakers delivered a h…

In a town that has seen its share of "manias" around young, exciting players (Fernandomania, Nomomania, and so on) it's fair to think we're probably one more big game from full blown Knectomania in Los Angeles. Dalton Knecht, who entered Tuesday's game against Utah at the Crypt riding a big hot streak, got even hotter. He finished with 37, on a car…
  continue reading
 
The Lakers are riding a five-game winning streak, with a very good chance to make it six tonight at home against the 3-10 Utah Jazz. So while the hot start—the Lakers wake up Tuesday morning as the 3rd seed in the West—has fans rightly excited, it's not all they're talking about. First-rounder Dalton Knecht has, after a shaky start, grown red hot a…
  continue reading
 
The Lakers haven't always looked great in the process, but they are on a five game winning streak heading into Tuesday's game at home against the Jazz. That's a very, very, very good opportunity to make it six straight. It's easy to get wrapped up in aesthetics and style points, but there is no such thing as a bad five-game winning streak in the NB…
  continue reading
 
It wasn't at all pretty, but it ultimately got the job done. Playing on the second night of a back to back, the Lakers spent the first half running in mud against an extremely shorthanded but very hard working New Orleans Pelicans squad, and found themselves down by 10 at the break. They were being out worked, first and foremost -- as JJ Redick rep…
  continue reading
 
To this point, the Lakers have been a very good team at home (6-0) and a very, very meh group on the road. That made Friday's game against a solid-at-home, up-and-coming San Antonio team a big one (whether you're thinking regular season stuff, or the first game in NBA Cup pool play). LA took a punch in the mouth to start the game, but quickly got b…

Last season, the Lakers became the first team to win the NBA's in-season tournament. That means this year, they're the first team to try and defend that title. Of course, while the in-season tournament (now the NBA Cup) was a much bigger success than most anticipated, fans certainly remember how much the Lakers struggled following the tournament. I…

Definitionally, everything LeBron James does at this point in his career is historic, because nobody in NBA history has ever, at age 39, done what James is doing. But that doesn't mean all the history is created equal. James came through on Wednesday with another triple-double (his third straight) on a night the Lakers really needed him. Following …

The Lakers got some good injury news on Tuesday. Anthony Davis, poked in the eye during Sunday's win over Toronto, is fine (or fine enough) and will play. Without goggles, because he just hates them, apparently. But he'll play. Meanwhile, the news wasn't so good for Christian Wood. The team's most offensively talented reserve big man has suffered a…

The Lakers have played 10 games. At 6-4, the overall record is solid enough. They're keeping up in a brutal Western Conference where 11 teams are .500 or better, and a 12th (San Antonio) is just one game under. (By comparison, the 3rd seed in the East is Indiana, at 5-5.) So what do we know about the team at this point? On the one hand, some of the…

The Lakers were coming off an encouraging Friday night win over the Philadelphia 76ers, responding with a lot of energy to JJ Redick's first big move as a coach, swapping D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish in the starting lineup. So there was a lot to look forward to Sunday as the slumping Toronto Raptors visited the Crypt. For a half, though, the La…
