Latest news and updates about the Lakers
Out of the All-Star break, the Lakers have the most certainty and structure as they’ve had all season with their rotation. For better or worse, there is a set starting lineup with little debate about change. Similarly, they have a rotation that, realistically, doesn’t have much argument for change either. Aside from a minor injury […]
LOS ANGELES — While the Lakers have their big three of LeBron James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves healthy and available, it hasn’t been smooth sailing. After the team’s loss against the Celtics on Sunday, Lakers head coach JJ Redick said they were “awful” offensively. In their encore on Tuesday, LA had another poor performance, […]
The Lakers had one of the more odd streaks come to an end this season. Despite being a very average team for the season, the Lakers were undefeated when leading into the fourth. They also still sported a sterling 16-3 record in clutch games. Both stats were outliers that took a hit on Tuesday. LA […]
For the first time this season, the Lakers lost when leading after three quarters, falling to the Magic at home on Tuesday, 110-109.

The Lakers began their front office transformation under Mark Walter with the hiring of Lon Rosen, replacing Tim Harris as President of Business Operations. While his role has no on-court impact, it does represent the changes that are coming. However, don’t expect Rob Pelinka to be one of those changes. Rosen spoke to reporters before […]
Just when the Lakers reached full health, another injury occurred to one of their rotation players. Jaxson Hayes had to exit early during LA’s loss against Boston and was deemed doubtful to play in the team’s upcoming game against Orlando. On Tuesday afternoon, the Lakers downgraded him to out for the contest. After Monday’s practice, […]

While everyone constantly argues about officiating and calls in basketball, the goaltending rule feels pretty clear. A defender can not touch the ball on its descent or interfere with the rim. So, in the third quarter of the Lakers-Celtics matchup, when Neemias Queta stuck his entire hand through the basket on a Deandre Ayton shot […]
PHOENIX — Baylor Scheierman has been living out one childhood dream after another. The 25-year-old Celtics guards played 29 minutes in Sunday’s game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, and reflected on the experience at shootaround on Tuesday morning in Phoenix. “It was unreal,” Scheierman said. “It was a dream come true.

When you’re run off the floor by your rival, there aren’t many positives that can be taken away. Particularly with the way things played out in the fourth quarter, there was definitely a very sour taste in the mouths of fans walking away from that contest. However, when looking at the box score, it wasn’t […]
Hey guys! I know many of you enjoyed the non-Lakers discussion threads we had. Instead of simply bringing those back, though, I figured we could just open it up to anything. Want to discuss movies, games, basketball, TV, the weather, what you had for lunch, your wins of the week? Here’s the place. The only […]
The Lakers had plenty of self-inflicted wounds in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Both a lack of effort and a lack of execution doomed them, bitter pills to swallow in a rivalry game. But while it may not have ultimately affected the outcome of the game, officiating was also a big storyline. Across the course […]

Tommy Points for everyone. On a night where the Lakers honored Pat Riley, the prince of pomade himself, and the greater Showtime era, it’s fitting to see Boston win by way of physicality and vigor. This 111-89 win was dominated both on the margins and in the more visibly loud areas of scoring and defending. […]

It's always good to beat the Lakers. I love how Lakers fans went from superstar Reaves to trash Reaves. Love all the envy of Mazzulla, Brad Stevens and Pritchard. I'm not surprised by their LeBron hate. If they win next game though they'll be back to being cocky and overrating everyone on their team. Poor Jaylen will never live down the hair incident. I love it when Celtics fans show up in mass on the road. My favorites are in bold. What ar...
#1 – 60 seconds that says it all Sometimes, 48 minutes can be sum up in just 60 seconds – and last night’s game against LA was the case. In this sequence, the Celtics are able to take four shots while the Lakers only have one attempt, which is blocked from behind. The willingness to […]
LOS ANGELES — Jaylen Brown broke into a toothy grin as he chest-bumped Payton Pritchard at the center of Crypto.com arena, moments after Pritchard crossed up Austin Reaves en route to his sixth three-pointer of the night. Brown, Pritchard’s longest-tenured teammate, relished the offensive explosion. “Payton has been playing at an All-Star level,” Brown said […]
LOS ANGELES — Sunday was a day of celebration for the Lakers as they honored Pat Riley with a statue before, fittingly, a game against the Celtics. Even though Riley is with the Heat organization now, he made sure everyone knew the task at hand. “The time has come to kick some a–,” Riley said. […]
On paper, no one game is more important than another across 82 games in the regular season. A result in October will matter as much as a result in March. But we know that’s not true. For the Lakers, there are two games that always matter more than the rest. There have been many rivalries […]
The Boston Celtics continued their four-game road trip with a visit to Los Angeles to play the Lakers Sunday night.
