‘Where would they be without Kobe?’ (N. Graham - NBAE/Getty Images)

There probably should be some comfort in knowing that the team who eliminated the Jazz from the finals is the Conference Champ but because it is the Lakers, I find little solace.
As most of you know, my husband loves the Lakers. But me? […]

Are you still fired up from yesterday’s win?  We are all tied up and heading back to LA.  I have wondered this entire series how LA will deal with adversity.  They are newly formed and have never been hit with any bumps in the road.  The win yesterday gave […]

The Utah Jazz captured games 3 and 4 to change the series to a best of 3. Game 4 will be remembered for a number of reasons that include: Turiaf’s ejection after a hard foul on Ronnie Price, Deron’s alley oop’s to Ronnie Brewer, Fisher not going away, Kobe’s back injury and one of […]

“So you’re telling me we have a chance.” -Lloyd Christmas
After being told that the ratio of possibility for him to be with the woman he loved would be about one in a million, Lloyd chose to think on the positive side. After all, one shot is one shot.
This is what I’ve been telling myself […]

‘The Lakers - Circa 1987′ (Andrew Bernstein - NBAE/Getty Images)
My better half, Kurt, loves the Lakers. I am ashamed to say. He has been a fan since before we were married. He cheers for Utah in every game of every season but when it comes to the Lakers, his loyalties are divided. […]

‘Tezz - The Autograph Champ’
During a recent broadcast on ESPN, a commentator, (I believe it was Hubie Brown), said that he liked Deron Williams’ “moxie.” What a great word, moxie. I think the word moxie should be used much more in today’s vernacular. Of course, if it were used too much, it […]

‘Retina Abuse’ (Joe Murphy - NBAE/Getty Images)
The good, the bad and the ugly of the All-Star Weekend that was.
Worst:
5- Yao Ming jacking up 3’s. Yao instead of trying to impress us with your range, why don’t you try and respond to the beat down Dwight Howard was giving you?
4- Boozer being the last man […]

The LA Times is confirming that Kobe Bryant will play in the all-star game. Speculation rose that Kobe would sit out when he opted out of the 3 point shooting contest. The hope locally was if Kobe was out Deron Williams would get his slot. That is no longer an option.
League […]

‘The Charm of Ron Artest’  (Rocky Widner - NBAE/Getty Images)
I drink too much coke. I eat too much food. In fact when I look at my life there are many things I do that I know in the long run can’t be good for me but I do them anyway.
Watching my free preview […]

The bandwagon has just about passed me by, but I’m taking a running jump at the tail-end. I’m still feeling an upset stomach after watching the 76ers game. The people in the ESA who booed Gordon Giricek should be embarrassed, ashamed, nay, disgusted at themselves. The fickle fans in Utah have long been a complaint […]
