Monday night’s blowout in Oklahoma City simply confirmed what we all already knew: The Lakers are going to have their hands full with the Thunder. The Thunder are the most talented team in the West. L.A. has experience, but Oklahoma City is …
Crap like this is one of the thousands of reasons why people hate the Lakers. How many other teams have players getting pats on the asses from Justin Timberlake during games? Only one. The Lakers really are a Hollywood team. Even though we’re …
Kobe Bryant gutted out a 31-point performance in a 113-96 Game 6 loss to the Nuggets on Thursday despite playing while ill. Kobe had a stomach issue that forced him to take two bags of IV fluids before the game and two more at halftime. He played …
