Heisler: L.A. Story: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

by

Having trumped up, er, written more intracity rivalry stories than I care to remember, there are three things I know. 1. They’re really no big deal. So what if the Clippers don’t like the Lakers, who don’t deign to notice the Clippers? The Clips don’t dislike the Lakes any more than the Suns or Warriors do, to say nothing of the Celtics. This isn’t high school. It’s not even USC-UCLA. This is the NBA, where only the Clips would remember if they swept the Lakers,

PHILADELPHIA—In the adjacent room of the National Constitution Center, unsuspecting little old ladies posed for pictures with statues of the Founding Fathers, the men who were instrumental in the birth of a nation. Chances are they’d never heard of Andrew Bynum, the man whom the Philadelphia 76ers hope will be just as instrumental in their own rebirth as a true NBA power. Into the center of the hall he marched Wednesday, ringed by hundreds of boisterous basketball fans whose voices have been

Tweet of the Night goes to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports for quoting Dwight Howard on the status of his ailing back. As you can see in the tweet above, the back issues that prevented the most dominant center to miss this past season’s playoffs is far from a thing of the past. Howard had missed a grand total of seven games in the first seven seasons of his career before missing 17 games last season, including the

Tweet of the Day goes to Shaquille O’Neal for sending a congratulatory note and a word of advice to Dwight Howard, who will don a Lakers jersey for the upcoming season. O’Neal was actually the first person to say that the four-team trade would go through, as you can see from his Tweet of the Day from Thursday. It’s no secret that O’Neal is not the biggest fan of Howard for reasons not worth discussing (“Superman” related), so it’s nice

Poll: How many games will the Lakers win next season?

by

Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls won 72 games in the first season of his second three-peat, back in 1995-96. The previous record was 69 wins. Granted, the Bulls put up that total against an Eastern Conference that was devoid of many good teams, but 72 wins is 72 wins, right? Well, now that the Los Angeles Lakers have acquired Dwight Howard in one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history, it’s time for folks to weigh in on just how good this Lakers
