Coming Tomorrow: Dorrell’s Last Game at UCLA
By Ted M. Green | L.A. Confidential, UCLA, ColumnIf everything you see and hear and read is right, from the funny look on Karl Dorrell’s face I’ve seen all week, to the rumors of an already planned press conference to announce the firing on Sunday, then I have just one question:
What happens if UCLA WINS on Saturday?
What happens if the Bruins beat the […]

Lakers 127, Nuggets 99: Given how ugly the first quarter was for the Lakers, it wouldn’t have been easy to predict a purple and gold blowout in the works. But straight up impossible to see coming? That the fourth quarter charge cementing a solid third would be […]

No. 1 UCLA 83, George Washington 60: OK, so maybe there IS more to UCLA than that Love-ly freshman center of theirs…at least Russell Westbrook seems to think so. Westbrook stole the spotlight from fellow point guard Darren Collison, who made his season debut after finally recovering […]

No USC for the Coliseum Means Time for Plan B (and C, D, E, F…)
By Brian Kamenetzky | USC, ColumnThe news that USC might just take their pads, pigskins, and incredible profits up the 110 to play their home games at the Rose Bowl has generally been seen as a ploy to get the Overlords of the Coliseum to play ball on some stadium improvement/ownership debates. Yes, the Trojans do in fact have […]

Sonics 99, Lakers 106: The Lakers are worse at finishing games than Kwame Brown at making two-footers, and that’s saying something. The Lake Show survived three turnovers in the last minute and a half for the victory over the 2-13 Sonics. Durant got hot late, but fortunately […]

Active Angels, Quiet Dodgers, No Cabrera?
By Brian Kamenetzky | What I See, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, ColumnOh, how I lament the early death of The Summer of A-Rod.
Really, when could $275 mil or so cleanly have solved the world’s- or at least the smaller worlds of the Dodgers and Angels- problems so neatly? Write a check, plug in 45/140 at third base, and spend the rest of the winter trying […]

Rockets 88, Clippers 71: The Clips wasted three quarters of solid basketball by allowing T-Mac to score 19 of his 36 points in a 4th quarter that was dominated by the Rockets. The team briefly flirted with being healthy until Sam Cassell went […]

Armchair Lakers GM: Kidd or the Kid?
By John Krolik | Fight On or Kiss Off, Los Angeles Lakers, ColumnWith Sunday night’s Lakers/Nets tilt being a local game instead of a national one, we were spared ad-nauseum updates on what “storylines” made this game worth watching (Vince Carter vs. Kobe! BFF’s Richard Jefferson and Luke Walton meet in the NBA… Again! etc.). But the big subplot was actually interesting: Jason Kidd and Andrew […]

New Jersey 102, Lakers 100: The purple and gold looked good (building a 12 point halftime lead), then terrible (giving it away in the third, going down by 10 in the fourth), then good again (coming back to take a 96-94 lead with 1:28 to play)… but […]

Make sure to check back through the weekend for new content. In the meantime, enjoy your turkey, stuffing, and football (don’t forget […]
