The 2026 Los Angeles Lakers have Jekyll & Hyde syndrome. The LA Lakers were badly in need of a pick-me-up as they rolled into Dallas to play the 19-26 Mavericks. With these Lakers, however, no game is a given. And given the team’s recent blues, this was somewhat of a must-win game. It’s been a…

The Lakers vibes have gone the way of the dead of winter. After solidifying some momentum following their win at the Mile High City, one that saw LA erase a 14-point halftime deficit into an improbable comeback, the team finally looked primed for a run of inspiring basketball. Sadly, those plans were halted in Inglewood,…

The Lakers played again tonight. This time against the vaunted Denver Nuggets, albeit without All-Universe superstar Nikola Jokić, but still boasting a feisty and talented group led by Jamaal Murray and Aaron Gordon. LA came into the game on the heels of a rough skid, having gone 2-5 in the their last seven. Sunday’s win…

We are dangerously infringing on ‘panic button’ territory, but not quite there yet. The Lakers continued their rocky New Year tonight, as they travelled to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers on the first night of a back to back (they’ll play the Toronto Raptors tomorrow at Crypto). LA is in the midst of…

One step forward, two steps backwards. After a promising home victory against the Atlanta Hawks, the Lakers floundered their way to a disappointing showing at home against the Charlotte Hornets. Defensively, the team collapsed and is badly in need of some adjustments. Offensively, they’re still very top heavy, and lack the ancillary bench pieces to…

“Making baskets motivates passing.” – JJ Redick, January 2026 Following an unprecedented thrashing at the hands of the Sacramento Kings last night, the Lakers took the court at Crypto to face the Atlanta Hawks. Riding a three game losing streak, the team was looking to make good on their “get right” game, after letting the…

It was along 48 minutes in Sacramento. The Lakers took to the road after a disappointing showing against the Milwaukee Bucks last Friday, where they were unable to secure a win in the last minutes of the game. They badly needed a win, and on the road, against a mediocre team, it seemed like the…

Following a no-show at San Antonio two nights prior, the Lakers took the court in LA against the Milwaukee Bucks in hopes of a bounce-back game. Unfortunately, the team came up flat once more. They never managed to kick the offense in gear, while the Bucks played a solid 48-minute effort, eventually outlasting the Purple…

The LA Lakers hit the road for a mini two-game road trip, to mixed results. They had an encouraging outing versus the New Orleans Pelicans, outlasting them in a hard-fought contest, 111-103. They then turned around immediately to face the Spurs in San Antonio, where they fell 107-91, in a slow and ugly game. The…
