There is no doubt that having Kobe Bryant in their lineup makes the LA Lakers a great team. However, Bryant alone can't make this team win a championship. One great player can't beat five opposing players, even with lesser talents playing on the same court for 48 minutes.Even the great Michael Jordan couldn’t have won a championship without another great player—Scottie Pippen.Let's look at the

Of the top three teams in the current NBA standings, the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to have the most impressive record. They have yet to suffer the same losses that Boston and the Lakers have had.The Celtics have two losses against teams that are below .500--Golden State Warriors (10-25) and Indiana Pacers (12-21).

The Lakers will win this game against the Boston Celtics this Christmas. That's my prediction. And I'm pretty confident of this that I'd be willing to bet the life of this blog to any Celtics bloggers out there if the Lakers lose this game.Basketball analysts either refuses or can't make their own predictions due to many variables. The Celtics is the hottest team right now, coming to the game

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered its first 2-game losing streak of the season. After losing to the Miami Heat the night before, the Lakers lost to the surging Orlando Magic 103-106--both losses on the road. Sasha Vujacic, who was 0-5 in the field and scored just 1 point, had a chance to win the game but his 3-point shot attempt bounced out of the basket leaving the Lakers behind 104-103, with

How can the Lakers with two 7-footers and a 6'8" forward in its starting frontcourt lose to a Miami Heat team featuring a 6'9" center and forwards barely reaching 6'8" in height in its starting lineup? The Lakers bigs should have dominated their undersized counterparts and scored 100 points, right? Wrong! Here's what happened:7' Andrew Bynum had 4 points and 4 fouls with only 6 rebounds in 27

Lamar Odom's good game as a starter in the Lakers' last game against the New York Knicks should convince Phil Jackson to go back to their starting lineup last year with Odom on power forward slot, and Pau Gasol moving back to the center spot while Bynum comes off the bench. I think their strongest lineup is the Fisher-Bryant-Ariza-Odom-Gasol combination, and Coach Phil knows this--he keeps them

Jackson now is 12th in league history,

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points to lead the Lakers to victory against the New York Knicks at the Staples Center, 116-114.

Andrew Bynum also had a double-double with 13 points and 11 boards. Derek Fisher added 15 points and 7 assists. Luke

By Jerry Zgoda, Star TribuneKevin McHale's draft-night swap of O.J. Mayo for Kevin Love in an eight-player deal was predicated on the notion that skilled 7-footers are few and far between in the NBA these days. The Los Angeles Lakers, and Sunday night, are exceptions. The Lakers present two of those aberrations -- Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol -- in their starting lineup and thus, the Lakers' 98-86

By Elliott Teaford, LA Daily NewsMaybe this is as good as it gets right now. Maybe this is the best the Lakers can do. Maybe winning ugly games against bad teams is their method of operation. That certainly seemed to be the case again Sunday night, when the Lakers rumbled, bumbled and stumbled their way past the Minnesota Timberwolves, 98-86, in front of a sellout crowd of 18,997 at Staples

By Mike Bresnahan, LA TimesLakers deliver another subpar effort, waiting until the fourth quarter to put away the 4-19 Timberwolves in a 98-86 victory that improves L.A.'s record to 20-3.The Lakers finally revisited the concept of holding a team under 100, but there was a glaring omission of something equally important -- an offense.The Lakers sputtered and coughed their way to a 98-86 victory
