L.A. fans were all over Matt Barnes from the Orlando Magic last night. They weren’t saying the most flattering things about the guy. How dare he mess with Kobe Bryant, they say. Why would he bump him at every turn? Why would he fake throwing a ball to his face (to Kobe’s credit, he didn’t [...]

Ron Artest And His Hair Mean Business
As y’all NBA-heads know, the Lakers have lost their last two games and are in danger of losing three straight for the first time since they stole, er, acquired Pau Gasol. They had a bit of a meeting yesterday to discuss their woes as of late. Kobe Bryant himself said a few things to his [...]

Lakers Are Better Without Kobe… Naaahhhhh…
Lakers have just come off an impressive three-game winning streak with Kobe Bryant sitting down. Surely, the Lakers are better off without their All-World player, right?
You’ve got to be kidding.
But I also must say that Kobe sitting down is the best thing that’s happened to the team all season.
Kobe has been a ball-stopper [...]
