Los Angeles Lakers News

The week ahead is evenly split with as many teams playing four games as there are playing three games. Our Sergio Gonzalez breaks down all the best and worst matchups along with injuries in his weekly Planner.

Los Angeles Laker coach Phil Jackson alluded to the point that he felt Pau Gasol's appearance on CSI: Miami could have contributed to his recent hamstring injury.

It?s clear that the Lakers are not getting as much help off the bench as they did a year ago. Although as of late, guards Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown have stepped up their play. Other players such as Sasha Vujacic and Luke Walton have not. And now with the recent injury news of Walton with a bad back, it appears that the Lakers are going to have to make a move. And that is what leads me to this very appealing trade scenario. Here we go!

Game 12 reminded us of just how good Pau Gasol is, because the Lakers looked better last night than they did in any of their first 11 games.

Pau Gasol takes a couple falls and bounces back just fine. Andrew Bynum tweaks his ankle, plays it safe by sitting out, but should play on Sunday.

Pau Gasol is back, as the Lakers prepare to face the Chicago Bulls at Staples Center. What should we expect from him, and from the Lakers as a whole?

The moment that Los Angeles Lakers fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.

CHICAGO (93)Deng 3-11 0-0 6, Gibson 2-6 0-0 4, Noah 6-12 0-3 12, Rose 9-20 2-2 20, Salmons 7-13 1-1 18, Miller 4-8 7-9 15, Hinrich 3-4 0-0 8, Pargo 1-4 0-0 2, Johnson 3-5 2-2 8, Hunter 0-1 0-0 0

So as most of you know Byron Scott was fired as coach of the Hornets fairly recently. Even more than most NBA fans,?Laker Nation?was probably a little confused, bewildered, and even angered at the firing, given that as a player he was one of your own.

Kobe Bryant has been labelled the best player in the world by millions of fans around the world.

Don't get it twisted. Believe what you want about Kobe's infamous "Parking Lot Video" from 2007 but Kobe never really wanted Andrew Bynum traded.
