Latest news and updates about the Lakers
With Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart all sidelined, this watered-down version of Celtics-Lakers didn’t carry quite the same weight as many others over the years. But, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard ensured Celtics fans still got their money’s worth. Brown led the way with 30 points, 8 […]

UPDATE: The Lakers made it official ruling LeBron James out against the Celtics due to right sciatica and left joint arthritis. This will make beating Boston that much harder, but given that LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, it makes sense for him not to push it and play both games in back-to-back matchups. […]

Poor Wizards fans. I really do feel for them. Credit to them for still showing up for their team. The poor guy wanting Doc Rivers needs to be careful what he wishes for. Jaylen Brown didn't even play and still got ribbed for his hair flub. They do seem to have a sense of humor about it all. I'm very happy for Jordan Walsh's success. Now it's on to the Lakers and hopefully another win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? &nb...

One of the standouts for the Lakers off the bench this season has been Marcus Smart. Brought in after a couple of disappointing seasons since being traded from the Celtics, Smart has been rejuvenated in LA and has made a positive impact on a nightly basis.
