Former Duke Blue Devils legend JJ Redick just completed his first season as Lakers head coach. There were some highs and lows, moments of brilliance and, well, moments of head scratching. Redick accepted the job after his brief stint as a podcaster post-retirement. A stint that included a partnership with LeBron James on the Mind…

All good things must come to an end. All bad things must come to an end. All things must come to an end. Regardless of how you feel about the seven seasons that LeBron James has spent as a Los Angeles Laker, it’s clearly obvious at this point that it’s in his best interest to…

Lakers guard Austin Reaves is coming off the heels of an extremely disappointing series versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. During the Lakers’ brief 5-game playoff rodeo against Minnesota, Reaves tallied an underwhelming 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, while shooting a meek 41% from the from field and 32% from beyond the arc. Now, these…

Another season is in the books for The Los Angeles Lakers, who just capped off the 77th season in franchise history in a somewhat unceremonious fashion. The Lakers were ousted, by way of a Gentleman’s Sweep, at the hands of a young and athletic Minnesota Timberwolves team, whose size and speed swarmed the Lakers at…

The Los Angeles Lakers 2025 campaign came to an unceremonious end last Wednesday at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, following a 103-96 defeat in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarter-Finals. Led by Julius Randle’s 23 points, 4 boards and 5 assists, as well as Rudy Gobert’s Wilt Chamberlain-esque stat-line of 27 points and…

The Los Angeles Lakers were unable to exercise their playoff demons last Sunday against the Minnesota timberwolves and now find themselves on the brink of elimination from the NBA Playoffs. The defeat, 116-113, has officially put the season in critical condition. This series has been marred by the Lakers’ inability to shake off their Jekyll/Hyde…

At this juncture, it might be fair to surmise that this team has an identity crisis. After an inspiring effort in game two, where despite a poor shooting night the Lakers managed to tie the series, they came out flat during their first road contest against Minnesota. After a puzzlingly mediocre display during game three…

94-85. This is the type of score you’d have associated with a mid 2000s contest, instead of a contemporary one. But that’s the type of game the Lakers and Timberwolves played last Tuesday, when LA eeked out a hard fought and physical battle to tie the series at one apiece. The Lakers proved they can…

In the NBA, failing to show up will get you embarrassed. That’s what happened to the Los Angeles Lakers during last night’s playoff opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ever since trading for Luka Dončić during mid February’s trade deadline, the Lakers have been riding high, with a feeling of invincibility. Having won 19 of their…

As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves to kick off the 2025 NBA Playoffs, all eyes will be on their two mega-stars Luka Dončić and LeBron James. However, the teams’ title hopes will rest on the shoulders of those lower on the food chain. Names like Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent,…
