When else have you know Rosen to dedicate an entire article to a postmortem of the Finals, and in s... Read More

After one of the most memorable (or forgettable) collapses in recent sports history, the Los Angeles Lakers now stare at a nearly insurmountable 3-1 deficit against the far superior and eventual champion Boston Celtics.

The Assault Continues: L.A. LAKERS Best in the West
Apr 16, 2008 | 4:06PM | J-DIZZLE
How amazing was the Lakers' regular season? To put it in perspective, their best defensive player (Andrew Bynum) and their second-best perimeter defender (Trevor Ariza) missed a whopping 91 games combined while former starter Chris Mihm was out another 43 games as was starting center Pau Gasol for 10 more in March. All this adversity and the Lakers still managed to gain the top seed in the conference, further jus... Read More

On the Lakers’ Latest Loss to the Cavs
Jan 29, 2008 | 12:06AM | Tom7
Is Luke Walton Overrated?During the second half of the Lakers loss to the Cavs on Sunday, January 27, 2008, commentator / analyst Jeff Van Gundy said that Luke Walton’s skills probably weren’t good enough to start for any NBA team, but Luke’s “basketball IQ” was very high, and that is what makes him an asset for the Lakers. I like Luke, but I did wonder if people would be saying that if he wasn’t Bill Walton’s kid. Luke W... Read More
