There weren’t many Lakers highlights in their contest against the Suns, but Rui Hachimura was essentially not involved offensively at all. Hachimura had just one shot attempt in the game, which is shocking considering he averages 10 per game. Considering the Lakers went on to get blown out, it’s perplexing to see Hachimura being such […]

The biggest story of the last week-plus of the Lakers’ rotation, outside of the short-term injury to Marcus Smart, has been Jarred Vanderbilt. Once a key piece of a rotation that made the Western Conference Finals, Vando has been on the outside looking in for the last six games. Even in his last appearance, he […]

Watching Dillon Brooks prancing around Crypto.com Arena as he torched the Lakers wasn’t the best way to end LA’s homestand. The loss was bad, and it felt even worse considering it was the first time the Lakers played a team with a winning record since their victory against the Bucks back on Nov. 15. Despite […]

Dillon Brooks is good at two things: talking and basketball, in that order. He’s consistently a talker — unless his team is imploding in the playoffs and he starts ducking the media — and inconsistently a good basketball player. On Monday, he had one of those often sporadic good games, hitting 10 straight field goals […]

For some time now, the Lakers have been flirting with an unserious loss. The second half of Sunday’s game against the Pelicans served as the perfect example of how the team was coasting by on its talent and not its effort. So, when the Suns — a team whose identity is playing hard — came […]

A lackadaisical effort from the Lakers was punished by the Suns on Monday as Phoenix ran away with an easy 125-108 win, snapping LA’s seven-game win streak. After a tight first quarter, the Suns blew the game open in the second period, then road the hot shooting of DIllon Brooks (33 points) and Collin Gillespie […]

The relationship between Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves has blossomed this season off the court as much as it has on the court. While the pair is the top scoring duo in the league, they have also become great friends when the games are over, too. It’s been the subject of many an edit on […]

The Chicago Bulls, the most dependable play-in spot in the eastern conference, started off hot this season. At one point sitting atop the east there was a brief moment where it looked like perhaps head coach Billy Donovan’s young core were turning a corner with a 6-1 start to the season. Now the team is […]

One year ago, there was a decent argument that LeBron James and Anthony Davis were the best duo in the NBA. Those conversations came with the caveat that both players be at full health and up to the challenge, but at their best, that pairing felt unstoppable on both ends of the floor. Fast forward […]

New Orleans was playing on the second night of a back-to-back, had seven rotation players out and entered the game a woeful 3-17 on the season. And overall, it was a relatively easy win for the Lakers, […]

The Spurs beat the Nuggets in Denver to advance to win their group and advance to the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup. It’s an impressive achievement for a young team missing two starters, especially since they faced quality opponents in all four of their games. Soon, they will face a new challenge, as […]

With the Lakers on the front end of a back-to-back on Sunday, LeBron James will only factor into, at most, one of the two contests. After being listed as questionable on Saturday, LeBron was ruled out for LA’s game against the Pelicans with left foot injury management. Marcus Smart, who missed the game against the […]

Friday wasn’t the first time the Lakers had lined up across from Anthony Davis in a Mavericks jersey or even the first time AD had returned to Los Angeles since the deal, but it was the first time both of those things occurred in the same game. Last season, injury kept Davis out of the […]

You mean you didn’t have Anthony Davis returning to the starting lineup on your Thanksgiving bingo card? Or Ryan Nembhard getting his first career NBA start against Luka Dončić? We didn’t either. The Mavericks got a much needed three days rest before their Friday night matchup with the Lakers. After a tough stretch of six […]

Realistically, over the remainder of his career, how many games do you think Luka Dončić will lose to the Mavericks? It won’t be double digits, but will it be more than five? Will you be able to count on one hand the number of losses he has to Dallas between now and the end of […]
