Guess who’s back? The Lakers are back in the Finals. Third straight year. And guess who’s in the way? Those pesky Boston Celtics. Well, I’m not even going to delay this any further. Let’s talk Lakers with the guys from The Lakers Nation, Jason Riley and Chris Manning. Shoutout to Brian Kamenetzky from ESPN Land [...]

2010 NBA Playoffs (Day 22 Recap)
Well… #2 ORLANDO MAGIC 105 @ #3 ATLANTA HAWKS 75 (Orlando leads series, 3-0) So recently, my buddies and I went to an All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ place. It was expensive but hot damn, it was so worth it. There is nothing better than hanging out with two of your best buddies and scarfing down good [...]
It’s A Mental Game For The Jazz
Well, for the first two games, the Lakers have pretty much owned the series against the Jazz. It’s quite evident what the Jazz lack against the Lakers: size. The guys that do have size (Kyrylo Fesenko and Kosta Koufos) are inexperienced… and the Laker bigs would just overmatch them. Carlos Boozer doesn’t get as many [...]
2010 NBA Playoffs (Day 18 Recap)
Another night of the 2010 NBA Playoffs is in the books. With only 2 games on the schedule tonight, things are going to get more intense. The Magic looked like they were eager to get started and the Lakers continued their dominance over the Jazz at home. If you missed the games, no worries because [...]
2010 NBA Playoffs (Day 16 Recap)
One series ended… and one series started. #6 MILWAUKEE BUCKS 74 @ #3 ATLANTA HAWKS 95 (Atlanta wins series, 4-3) This series should’ve been over earlier. But the Hawks made up for their Game 5 meltdown. The Hawks finally used their advantage inside. They played one hell of a defensive game. The Bucks only scored [...]
2010 Playoff 2nd Round Preview (Los Angeles Lakers)
I wasn’t shocked that the Los Angeles Lakers had a difficult time with the 8th-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder. If Nick Collison boxed out Pau Gasol, we’d be talking about a Game 7 for those teams. But the Lakers are now in the 2nd Round… and waiting for them are the Utah Jazz. These guys are [...]
2010 Playoff 2nd Round Preview (Utah Jazz)
The Utah Jazz is not your typical #5 seed in the West. They were fighting for the #2 seed until the last few days. They defeated a tough Denver Nugget team in a rough-and-tumble six-game series. Utah lost Mehmet Okur to injury and will not be back the rest of the postseason. Still, they overcame [...]
2010 NBA Playoffs (Day 14 Recap)
#4 Atlanta Hawks 83 @ #5 Milwaukee Bucks 69 I think most people expected a great game six. What we got was by far the worst game in this year’s playoffs. With the game in the 40′s in the 3rd quarter, I couldn’t bear to watch it anymore. All I know is the Hawks were [...]
2010 Playoff Preview (TNLP 2nd Round Picks!)
