Jimmy Butler Posterizes Anthony Davis. Miami Wins Game 3.
In games 1 and 2 Jimmy Butler had a point guard, pass first mentality. He would aggressively drive into the paint and have a potential lay-up opportunity but instead he would then kick the ball out to one of the Miami guards for a jump shot, and...
Lakers in the Drivers Seat
A few years back my wife yelled out to me that there was a big rat out in our backyard. Intrigued, I looked out and saw what did indeed look like a giant rat. It was just hanging out by the fence, maybe 10 feet from our back door; didn't seem to...
Davis and Howard play like true centers. Lakers Easily win Game 1.
The Los Angeles Lakers are on a mission and LeBron James continued his role as the greatest athlete in recorded history last night in Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Covid Finals falling one assist shy of another triple -double. LBJ finished the game with...
Lakers Dominate Heat
So, that game was... interesting. Game one of the NBA Finals goes to the Los Angeles Lakers in resounding fashion. I mean, it was a beatdown. The final score of 116-98 doesn't tell the story. To look at that score you might think the Heat put up a...

How the Clippers Can Be Better than the Lakers
The Clippers still have a better roster than the Lakers, but after a historic collapse to a scrappy Denver team, it’s time to overreact! With Doc Rivers out, the first step is adding a new coach. My top 3 choices would be Ty Lue, Mike D’Antoni, or Adrian Griffin. In...
Thank you Doc Rivers!
Doc Rivers joined the Los Angeles Clippers on June 25th, 2013. The team wasn't bad when they agreed to give up an unprotected 2015 first round draft pick to acquire him from the Boston Celtics. In fact, they were coming off a 56-26 season. The problem was that they...
Clippers Collapse in Epic Fashion
I will not prolong the agony with a long read. The Clippers had three chances to advance to the franchises first Conference Finals and failed to do it. Blame will no doubt be passed from the coach to the players then back again. There is plenty of blame to go around....
The Biggest Game 7 in Los Angeles Clippers History!
It's true that the current Clippers team has no real connection to the team that lost a series in 2015 after leading 3-1. Well, except the coach. It's also true that none of the current Clippers players have any connection or link at all to the mostly laughable San...
Los Angeles Clippers Wilt Under the Pressure
I have never written an article that came with a warning, but this one does. For Clippers fans this article comes with a strict warning. So, if you are a Clippers fan with sensitive feelings, a weak heart and/or unnatural fear of curses, please click here. Otherwise,...
Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers Win Championship #17!
The final score was 106-93 and years from now some may look at that and envision it as a close game. It was not a close game. In fact, the Miami Heat never led in this game. Not once. The Lakers took the lead and never relinquished it. Think about that. This was a...
2020 NBA Finals Game 5 was One for the Ages!
If you watched tonight's NBA Finals Game 5 and were left unimpressed, you aren't a basketball fan. Lakers fans are no doubt upset, and they have every right to be, but even those fans know this simple fact; this was a great game. The outcome, no - they didn't like...
Closing In On the G.O.A.T.
On Tuesday night the Los Angeles Lakers took a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat with a 102-96 victory in game 4. If the Lakers can defeat the Heat on Friday night in game 5 to secure their 17th NBA Title, and LeBron James is named MVP, his...
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Saves The Lakers in Game 4
Who was going to step up and help the Lakers win? That was one of the questions that everyone was asking after the loss in game 3. LeBron James has proven that he can get any team, no matter how bad they are, to the NBA Finals, But he cannot do it all on his...
