The Young Lakers Are Fucking This Up
LeBron James went down with a groin injury way back on Christmas Day. You cannot build, even in theory, a cast of teammates and a basketball ecosystem that wouldn’t suffer in the immediate aftermath of losing a player of LeBron’s prominence, but the young Lakers, at least in theory, should’ve been r...
Good Things Can Happen When Lonzo Ball Is In Control
It’s no secret that the consensus on Lonzo Ball here is that he’s a bad young player. But in the Lakers 138-128 victory over the Thunder, he showed more than a few flashes of not being total ass, and might have proven to coach Luke Walton that the team’s best chance of surviving this LeBron-less per...

Laker Fans Booed Lonzo Ball For Missing Free Throws
Is Lonzo Ball good? Ask a handful of NBA fans that question and you’re likely to get wildly different answers.

LeBron And Lonzo Post A Rare Double Triple-Double
LeBron James posted 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, his second triple-double of the season, and then sat out the whole fourth quarter as the Lakers lashed the Hornets Saturday.

The Lakers And Nuggets Really Seem To Dislike Each Other
Last night’s game between the Nuggets and Lakers came with no shortage of subplots, thanks in large part to Nuggets guard Jamal Murray’s history of trolling and shit-talking in previous matchups.

Lonzo Ball Rescued The Lakers With Actual By-God Buckets

Barring a downturn over their final 20 games—a...

Luke Walton Jokes He Took Out Lonzo Ball Because "His Dad Was Talking Shit"
The Lakers got to end their nine-game losing streak Sunday night by treating the Hawks like the punching bags they are, but the longer-term and more important story in Los Angeles is the Ball family’s undermining of head coach Luke Walton.
