The Los Angeles Lakers dropped to 0-5 on the season on Friday, and Minnesota Timberwolves fans wasted no time rubbing salt to the wound by letting LeBron James and co. hear it when the home team’s win is all but secured. With the Timberwolves ahead 108-101 with just 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers came up against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night in another tough matchup against a Western Conference contender.

The Los Angeles Lakers have kicked off their 2022-23 season by looking even worse than they did last season, and are sitting with an 0-5 record through their first five games.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been seen at Cowboys games in seasons past supporting America’s Team, but it seems unlikely that fans will see him there again anytime soon after his recent comments.

Magic Johnson recently revealed the role he played in getting LeBron James to sign in Los Angeles with the Lakers, per Club Shay Shay. “You can be responsible for the greatest franchise in the world, turning it around and leading us back to a championship,” Johnson told LeBron. To be fair, LeBron James led the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are in shambles right now after getting off to an 0-4 start to the new season. The bad news for them is that it could get much worse. For his part, however, George Karl believes that the Denver Nuggets, who incidentally handed LA their fourth straight loss on Wednesday, must take […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are in shambles and LeBron James is not happy. At 0-4, this is the worst start in his career since The King’s rookie year with the Cleveland Cavaliers. After another loss on Wednesday night, Bron took to social media on Thursday and posted a very cryptic message:   View this post […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were without point guard Russell Westbrook Wednesday night in Denver. The Lakers lost again, 110-99 to the Nuggets, dropping them to 0-4 on the season. It is the first time since LeBron James’ rookie year that his team began a season losing their first four games.  After the game, James was […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are the premier franchise in the NBA. With 17 championships in the trophy case, dating back to the BAA Minneapolis Lakers days, only the Boston Celtics can rival the Lakers’ historical achievements. The 2022-23 Lakers, though, might be the worst team in the league right now. The Lakers’ record is 0-4, […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have just dug themselves a deeper hold after losing to the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night in Colorado, 110-99. They did not even cover the spread as a five-point road underdog, but they probably would have at least if only they took better care of the leather. The Lakers […]

Things have gone from bad to worse for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers after they dropped yet another game, this time losing to the Denver Nuggets, 110-99. One of, if not the primary culprit for the Lakers’ rough start is their historically atrocious shooting display from beyond the arc, and it reared its […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have now dropped to 0-4 on the season after Wednesday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, and NBA Twitter is now pointing fingers on who’s really to blame for their abysmal showing. Previously Russell Westbrook has been the Lakers’ scapegoat. His atrocious 8.3 percent shooting clip and poor decision-making have made him […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers hit a new rock bottom Wednesday night. They are still winless through four games after falling prey in Mile High City to the Denver Nuggets, 110-99, and once again, their atrocious outside shooting was front and center. The Lakers hit just eight of their 30 attempts from behind […]

The Los Angeles Lakers may be struggling, but that isn’t stopping LeBron James from making history. On Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers star has now made it 1,100 straight regular season games with at least 10 points scored. It is already the longest streak by a huge margin, and it doesn’t look […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have been off to a terrible start to the 2022-23 season, having gone 0-3 to begin the year thanks in no small part to putrid production from beyond the arc. The tension in LA is at an extreme, especially towards Russell Westbrook, who has been having a stinker […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are off to a 0-3 start to the 2022-23 season, but according to former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Tim Legler, it’s only going to get worse. Speaking on NBA Today, Legler offered his rather harsh prediction on the Lakers, saying that he expects them to go […]

It’s too early to fairly judge, evaluate or eulogize the 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers. It has only been three games. As Darvin Ham has accurately pointed out, each of their three losses — while discouraging and frustrating in their own ways (25-0f-118 from 3!) — have produced legitimate reasons for optimism. LeBron James and Anthony […]

Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson admits he made one big mistake when he abruptly stepped down as the team’s president back in 2019, and he’s still regretting it up to this day. During his conversation with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Johnson shared that he regrets not calling LeBron James before he went […]

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons hasn’t been off to the best of starts in the newest campaign. After shooting 9-of-22 in the Blazers’ season opener, he proceeded to shoot 5-17 in back-to-back games, which both ended in two-point victories over the Phoenix Suns and the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers. But the 23-year old […]

LeBron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record seems to be only a matter of when — not if. With that said, when the Los Angeles Lakers star breaks the record, Magic Johnson doesn’t think Kareem will be truly happy about it. During his interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, Johnson was asked on […]

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back in his rebuttal to LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star accused reporters of trying to set him up to bash Russell Westbrook.

Commissioner Adam Silver responded to LeBron James’ desire for a Las Vegas NBA team, per Malika Andrews. “I think its very healthy for the league when you have sort of this life-cycle of players moving into management, potentially  moving into ownership,” Silver told Andrews on NBA Today. “Obviously Michael Jordan is the owner of Charlotte…its […]

The Los Angeles Lakers, who have started the season 0-3 after an inexplicable choke against the Portland Trail Blazers, are unequivocally the worst three-point shooting team in the league, having made a terrible 8.3 threes on 39.3 attempts per night through their first three games, a putrid 21.2 percent that’s eight percentage points lower than […]

As if there weren’t already thousands of people clowning the Los Angeles Lakers over their poor start and questionable roster construction, now one of LeBron James’ past rivals in Paul Pierce has joined the party. The Boston Celtics icon took to Twitter to take a shot at LeBron’s Lakers squad – and even used the […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was tuned in during the Los Angeles Lakers-Portland Trail Blazers game on Sunday, and his live tweets basically showcased what the LA fanbase was probably feeling while watching the wild sequence in the closing stages of the contest. His live tweets started when Damian Lillard gave the Blazers the 104-102 […]

LeBron James is well aware of the Los Angeles Lakers’ shooting woes, but that hasn’t stopped him from being critical of his team’s biggest problem. After another horrendous showing in their 106-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, James once again got brutally honest about their inability to shoot from long distance. The […]

Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James is not falling into the interview trap that reporters could interpret as him bashing his teammate Russell Westbrook. Westbrook has been the talk of the sports world on Sunday after his epic fail doomed the Lakers against the Blazers. With 30 seconds left on the clock and the Lakers leading […]

While LeBron James refused to talk about Russell Westbrook’s bad shot in crunch time that doomed the Los Angeles Lakers against the Portland Trail Blazers, his on-court reaction may provide some hints about his feelings towards the epic fail. To recall, with 30 seconds remaining in the game and the Lakers ahead 102-101, Westbrook surprisingly […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost another close one, this time against the Portland Trail Blazers, to add more misery in what has been a disappointing start to the season.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Sunday’s contest against the Portland Trailblazers looking for their first win of the young season. Los Angeles put together a strong third quarter, outscoring the Blazers 35-23 to take a five point lead into the final quarter. In what turned out to be a crazy finish, LeBron James had a […]

Orland Magic rookie Paolo Banchero was considered the most NBA-ready prospect among the top picks from the 2022 NBA Draft. But not even his ardent supporters could have predicted how quickly he’d produce in the big leagues. The 19-year-old Banchero has scored 27, 20, and 23 points through his first three games with the Magic. […]

Veteran sports commentator Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back in his criticisms of the Los Angeles Lakers after the team fell to 0-2 on the season following back-to-back losses to the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers. Smith emphasized what everybody else is telling the Lakers amid their early season struggles: their biggest weakness […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are off to an 0-2 start after back-to-back losses to the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers.

Per Shams Charania, the Lakers met with free agent wing Moe Harkless, a former 15th overall […]

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped 0-2 on the season after losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. Despite the rather nightmare start to the 2022-23 campaign, though, Lonnie Walker IV is optimistic they will be able to turn things around soon. But where exactly is Walker getting that confidence? Well, to be fair, […]

Former NBA sharpshooter Nick Young shared his brutally honest take on the Los Angeles Lakers’ shortcomings, per NBA on TNT. “The bench, they ain’t got enough shooting,” Young said in response to what the Lakers’ real issue is. “I think they need a Jamal (Crawford) or a Nick Young.” Jamal Crawford was also on the […]

Before the season even started, many fans already knew that the Los Angeles Lakers were lacking in shooting. Most of their new roster acquisitions weren’t exactly snipers from deep. However, no one expected it to be, well, THIS bad, frankly. Two games into the season, and LeBron James and Co. already at a terrible 22% […]

There were a lot of problem areas that stand out when looking at the Los Angeles Lakers’ box score against the Clippers on Thursday. One that jumps off the page is Russell Westbrook’s goose egg in the field goals department. LeBron James was asked about Westbrook’s futile offensive performance during the postgame presser. King James […]

Pitted against the Western Conference elites in their first two contests of the 2022-23 season, the Los Angeles Lakers fell flat on their faces. LeBron James and co. looked outmatch in both instances against two teams clearly better put together than their own roster. After their 103-97 loss at the hands of the Clippers, Hall […]
