The Laker Show (Lakers News and More)

Lakers are out.... :(

2012-05-23T13:58:00.000-07:00

As you all probably know by now the Lakers are out of the playoffs. The series was 4-1 in OKC's favor. We can only practice and get better in our early off season. Hopefully we can correct all the errors we made over the season and the playoffs. We can only hope for the best I guess I cant really say anymore for a while but I will go through any news the Lakers have or any ideas I want to share and just keep posting for you guys...

Im just going to start my first thoughts with this the Lakers need to utilize a few of bench players more. I know that we don't have the best bench in the league but we have some guys that can do some work. Jordan Hill was a good pick up. He really stepped up mid season and in the playoffs. Steve Blake also has an amazing three point shot. Although, there are a few players we should give up. For example, Troy Murphy is a player that is not need on our bench. Josh McRoberts is border line keep or throw away...

Round 2 of Playoffs

2012-05-15T13:48:00.000-07:00

The Lakers first game against OKC didn't go very well... The final score was 90-119. This was a major win for OKC. Needless to say they had home court advantage for this game. We can only hope for the best and to get the next win in the series....

Lakers Lose Game 6

2012-05-11T06:38:00.001-07:00

Sadly the Lakers fall in game 6..... now there is series tie with the Nuggets. The score was 113-96. Kobe was sick for this game but still played to help the team. Before the game Kobe missed morning shot around and the pre-game warmup... There were more points spread out this game but still Kobe had way more then anyone else. He scored 31 points while Ramon had 14 and Bynum with11. Jordan Hill added 8 points to the game. As you can Kobe lead scoring.... Saturday we have the final home game against the Nuggets and hope to come out on top and ready for OKC...

Lakers Lose Game 5

2012-05-09T13:58:00.001-07:00

The Lakers lost last night but still hold the lead in the series(3-2)... The final score was 102-99. There is one benefit from this loss. As of now Metta World Peace is set to play game one in the series against OKC. It was a close game but we can only move ahead and make it to next round. Honestly, one of the main reasons they had this loss was the lack of Kobe's passing. I love Kobe he is one of my idols but 41 points is insane but you have to make sure everyone also stays on fire to maintain good offense... Thursday is the next game so lets expect another win for the Lakers.

Lakers First Loss in the Series...

2012-05-06T06:07:00.006-07:00

The Lakers were 2-0 until this passed Friday. The Lakers away game in Denver was a bad loss for them. Although, there are some positives to the loss. The final score was 84-99 If the Lakers did sweep them the wouldn't Metta World Peace till mid series next round. Basically if bring this series to game seven we get our full starting line up back,,,

Shoes I would make for the Lakers... Tell Me What You Think

2012-05-03T14:09:00.000-07:00

Away Shoes

The away shoes that I made are the newest Nike HyperDunks. I think these would be perfect for the Lakers to wear...

Home Shoes

The Home shoes are also HyperDunks. These are pretty sick and hope someone on the Lakers sees these and says I want them...

Alternate Shoes (goes with their alternate jerseys)

The Alternate shoes are a different model. They are the Nike HyperEnforcer. They are one of the newest shoes released by Nike and would be perfect for the Alternate uniforms...

The New Kobe Elite Shoes

2012-05-02T15:07:00.001-07:00

The Shoes are made with a switch from plastic to carbon fiber pieces in the back!!! We should be expecting Kobe to wear them during the playoffs and hopefully the finals!

Playoff Season

2012-05-02T14:01:00.000-07:00

The Lakers have played two games so far in the playoff season. Their first round matchup are the Nuggets. So far the Lakers have a 2-0 sweep. The First game the score was 88-103. The next game was much closer it was 100-104. A win is a win..... Here are some images from the games. Not to forget Andrew Bynum's 10 blocks!!!! Tied the record for most playoff blocks.

2012-04-23T14:08:00.002-07:00

Yesterday was an intense game against OKC. The Lakers started out trailing the Thunder but they caught up. Sadly Metta World Peace got ejected for a flagrant foul. He gave James Harden a concussion. There are possibilities of suspension and fines for the incident. The Lakers held the game till overtime. Kobe made a clutch three pointer that sent them to over time. The game went to 2OT where the Lakers won with a final score 114-106

Major Updates!

2012-04-16T13:49:00.001-07:00

So sto start off Kobe Bryant is injured. He as missed the last five games. The Lakers record during his absence has been 4-1. That is pretty good with the fact of losing their best player. Most of the Lakers bench have been using their minutes during Kobe's absence very wisely. People say that they can see some of the hidden talents of some of the Lakers' players. Everybody agrees that its good to have Kobe resting so he is ready for playoffs and hopefully finals. Well theres today update...

Major Update

2012-03-28T14:01:00.001-07:00

Sorry that I have been not been updating lately. Now I am back so lets get started.

Last night the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 104-101. It was a good win for the Lakers. Andrew Bynum retrieved the "Kobe Treatment" with a late game benching.

Kobe Going In For The Monster Jam

.Secondly, Ramon Sessions first few games. His first game on the Lakers was against the Trailblazers.
He really proved himself that game and earned his starting spot.

Kobe and Ramon

The game against the Trailblazers was amazing. The Lakers crushed them with a final score of 103-96. Sadly I have to now make a transition to bad news.

The Lakers lost to the Grizzlies a couple games ago. Luckily their conference placement wasn't affected by the loss. The sad final score was 96-102. I guess Memphis wanted the a little more then we did.

The "Kobe Treatment"

Trades and Lakers vs Jazz

2012-03-19T14:07:00.000-07:00

The Lakers have made a few mid seasons trades. The Traded Luke Walton and Jason Kapono. They Also gave the Cavaliers their first round draft pick. In exchange the Lakers got Ramon Sessions. I am happy that the Lakers got ride of Luke Walton. Honestly, he was just taking space and money away from the team. I say the trade was very beneficial.

The Lakers also traded Derek Fisher to the Rockets. He was traded for Jordan Hill. Jordan Hill is the Lakers' back up big man. This trade was very beneficial. In my opinion Fisher is getting to old to play with Lakers. Also he has had many seasons with the Lakers and has show everything he can do.

On a sad note the Lakers lost to the Utah Jazz. This was very shocking to me because of the rankings of the new team. Although, the loss actually makes a little sense. The Lakers have to get used to their point guard, Sessions. I predict that is the next they will have their act set by now and get the victory against the Rockets in a few days.

Lakers vs Hornets

2012-03-14T20:09:00.003-07:00

Kobe Driving the ball

Lakers have been on a winning streak! They just won against the Hornets 107-101 and the other day against the Grizzlies 116-111 in double overtime! The game tonight was only in single overtime. The Lakers have stepped up their game and can not be stopped. This is the Lakers fourth straight win to make a record of 27-16! Kobe played about 48 minutes again in this game! This is the Lakers second consecutive over time win!

Lakers vs Pistons

2012-03-07T13:44:00.001-08:00

The Lakers sadly lost to the Pistons. The final score was 88-85. I think but I am being a little skeptical here but I think it was the new mask that affected Kobe's game. He switched from a clear mask to a solid black mask. The fit and coverage was different. This is just me being skeptical about the situation. Hopefully we have a better ending against the Washington Wizards.

Los Lakers Crush El Heat

2012-03-05T13:55:00.000-08:00

Its Spanish heritage time in the NBA. Now the Los Lakers are on a 8 game winning streak! Last Night they defeated the El Heat. The game was spectacular and ultimately ended in a 93-83 game. Thankfully Kobe's nose is recovery from the accident at the All-Star game. The Lakers are playing the Pistons tomorrow night.

Just a extra video for you guys

Lamar Odom

2012-02-29T14:04:00.000-08:00

I just want to take a brief moment talk about something that happened at the beginning of the season. The supposed trade with Lamar Odom. The trade was hoping to produce another trade with the Clippers. The trade consisted of Lamar going to Dallas. Unfortunately, everything went to plan except for the Hornets end of the deal. Now the Lakers lost Odom and are stuck with just a trade exception for a dallas player. Lamar was a major component to the team and is now wasting in career in Dallas. Hopefully we can work out a deal to get him back and restore the Lakers original players.

All Star Wekend

Stats from the Portland game

The Lakers played on monday against the Portland Trailblazers and came out with a win. The final score was 103-92. The lakers forced the Blazers into a lowest scoring total in franchise history. The Blazers only scored 7 points in the first quarter! Overall the Lakers played an amazing game against Portland.

"I thought the first quarter and half, we moved the basketball as good as we have all year ... it was fun to watch."
-- Lakers coach Mike Brown

Lakers center Andrew Bynum keyed the hot start for the Lakers by recording eight points, nine rebounds and an assist in his first eight minutes of playing time. He finished with 14 points and 19 rebounds

The next game on the Lakers path is against the Dallas Mavericks. Hopefully we succeed and beat the Mavericks.

Lakers Annihilate the Charlotte Bobcats 106-73

The Lakers have been coming off a harsh record and a low standing in their division. Thankfully a successful game against the Charlotte Bobcats put Lakers higher in the standings and higher in their mental standings.

During the game the Lakers played an amazing offensive and defensive game. The Lakers ended up putting in their reserves to hold out the rest of the game. The reserves did their jobs and helped lead the Lakers to their 106-73 victory.

Next game is against the Denver Nuggets on Friday February 3rd

So the as we have seen the Lakers have been holding their ground for past few days and hopefully they will make it to the playoffs.
