So Shaquille O’Neal is headed to the Celtics. I wish him luck. I got many, many, many comments from fellow L.A. Laker fans saying that he’s a ring-chaser, a traitor, and that his jersey should NEVER be retired at Staples Center. What? Okay, so his “legacy will be a little tainted” because he played for [...]

A Little Changing Of The Guard In L.A.
Changes are inevitable. That includes even the champions of the last two seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers. They really only had one change in the roster last offseason: Ron Artest went to the Lakers while Trevor Ariza packed his bags for Houston. This time around, the backcourt gets a little makeover. Let’s take a look [...]
LeBron James Feeling The Heat
Here I am thinking. Just a few hours before I go to the Summer League in Las Vegas. No matter how many times I slice it, this IS the talk of the offseason. I didn’t want to get too caught up on the hype. I didn’t blog about LeBron James for the past seven weeks. [...]
Chronicles Of Crotty #59: I Love L.A. 2010
2010 NBA Finals (Game 7 Recap)
It wasn’t pretty. (EAST) #4 BOSTON CELTICS 79 @ (WEST) #1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS 83 (Lakers win series, 4-3) Coming out of the gate, Boston looked like their 2008 self. They went to a different strategy. Instead of letting Kobe Bryant go wild, they decided to blanket him on defense. And the Lakers had trouble [...]

We Like Obscure NBA Players: Lakers & Celtics Obscure #7′s
Last week, The No-Look Pass brought out the Obscure Lakers & Celtics. This week we’re still sticking with the Lakers vs. Celtics theme and since this series is going to a 7th game, it only makes sense to bring out some of the obscure #7′s. So let’s take it back before Marquis Daniels and Lamar [...]
2010 NBA Finals (Game 6 Recap)
Oh, what home-cooking can do for you. (EAST) #4 BOSTON CELTICS 67 @ (WEST) #1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS 89 (Series is tied, 3-3) Well, we knew that the Lakers weren’t just going to lay down on Game 6. We knew that they were going to come out with guns blazing. The Celtics, who came in [...]
TNLP Talks To C.J. Miles
Last fall, we talked to C.J. Miles from the Utah Jazz in the Chronicles of Crotty podcast. He felt that his team had all the pieces to win it all. It was not to be as his team lost to the eventual Western Conference Champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. I caught up with C.J. and [...]
Scattered Thoughts About Game 5 Of The Finals
It was strange not to tweet about Game 5 of the NBA Finals (the phone couldn’t connect on the internets). Dave did a great job recapping this game earlier. I had one specific topic in mind about this game… and then I had another… and then I had another. I decided that it was just [...]
