The fact that Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol combined for 19 points against Chandler and Jeffries was nothing more than a shame. I understand Tyson Chandler is a great defensive center, and defending bigger men is one of Jeffries’ strong points. But when your an All-Star 7-footer, there is no excuses, especially something along the line of “Illegally placing two hand’s on the player”. Bynum and Gasol should have had a field day last night, and they completely flopped,

Pau Gasol, upset after Knicks loss, wary of Raptors

by

NEW YORK — Pau Gasol was frustrated with his Los Angeles Lakers teammates after they allowed Jeremy Lin of the Knicks to go off for 38 points, and he has a warning about their upcoming game against the Toronto Raptors. “It’s another tricky game,” Gasol said of tomorrow afternoon’s tilt in Toronto. “If you don’t come out ready to compete, ready to play and control the game with the team that we have and the players that we have, you know we

Hugs and kisses as Lakers top Celtics in OT; Kings upset the Thunder

by

Lakers forward Pau Gasol received news right before the game that he was not selected for the All-Star Game. He let the Celtics know how he felt about the snub with 25 points, 14 rebounds and a game-saving block to help beat the Lakers escape Boston with an 88-87 overtime win. Kobe Bryant scored 27 points and made a handful of tough shots but was generally ineffective down the stretch. He missed a potential game-tying shot at the end of the fourth

Tonight’s best game: LA Lakers at Boston

by

The rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics doesn’t need any added incentive. But it may have some in Thursday night’s best NBA game. The first of two meetings between the greatest franchises in league history will be televised nationally at 8 p.m. ET by TNT, which has a one-hour pregame show that will reveal the reserves for the All-Star Game later this month. Both proud teams have former All-Stars who have taken a step back this season and may

Coast to coast, Knicks and Lakers have problems

by

// Fans in the NBA’s two biggest markets can’t be very happy right now. For that matter, neither can David Stern. The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA. They predate instant replay, maximum salaries, team planes, the draft lottery, the 3-pointer, free agency, conferences and leather sneakers. For more than 50 years, they have anchored the league on opposite coasts, guaranteeing interest in the two biggest cities in the country. Both teams basically have unlimited budgets. Both teams

Tonight’s best game: LA Clippers at LA Lakers

by

Wednesday’s best game features the offensively challenged Los Angeles Lakers hosting the L.A. Clippers, who are trying to win a season series against the Lakers for only the third time in franchise history. But don’t call it a rivalry, yet. Kobe Bryant had no problem scoring (42) in a losing effort against the Clippers in their first meeting this season. But despite Bryant leading the NBA with 30.5 points a game, the rest of the Lakers’ offense has been a box-office dud. Pau

Tonight’s best game: Indiana at LA Lakers

by

Sunday night’s best game starts after the football is over and has the surprising Indiana Pacers visiting the Los Angeles Lakers, who are in a favorable stretch of their schedule and have an opportunity to fix some of their issues on offense. The first issue is scoring. Despite having the NBA’s leading scorer in Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are just 21st in offense at 92.1 points and dead last in the NBA in 3-point percentage at 25.7 percent. Derek Fisher is 7-of-29,

Tonight’s best game: LA Lakers at LA Clippers

by

The slumping Celtics have a revenge game at Indiana. The Knicks are visiting the Thunder in what could be a shootout. And Deron Williams is returning to Salt Lake City. All good games Saturday night in the NBA. And none nowhere near as good as the heavily hyped first meeting between the Lakers and Clippers. The locals call this the “Hallway Series” as both teams reside down the corridor from each other in the Staples Center. But this is not a rivalry,
