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 then turned around immediately to face the Spurs in San Antonio, where they fell 107-91, in a slow and ugly game. The…

Following a rocky month of December, the Lakers have opened the new year on a positive note, and seem to be taking decent steps to playing good basketball once again. They played the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and looked like a rejuvenated team. The team went back to its bread and butter, that of course…

“The turnovers, fast break points and points in the paint killed us tonight.” – Jonathan Clay Redick, December 2025 Following a 23-point Christmas beatdown at the hands of the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Lakers took the court against the Sacramento Kings in hopes of getting back on track. Thankfully, for the Lakers, they were…

It’s been a rough Christmas for the Lakers. The team lost consecutive games for the first time, coming up short against the Clippers and Suns. On Christmas afternoon, the lost again to the Houston Rockets. They lost each game by 15, 24 and 23 points. Clearly, this has been their lowest point of the season…

Sometimes it snows in Clipperland. The Lakers made the short trek to Inglewood to take on the Clippers, after defeating the Jazz two days prior. The team had made some decent progress as far as establishing some cohesion, with the offense looking to find its footing amidst the absence of Austin Reaves, LAs second leading…
