Kobe passed Shaq tonight for the 5th spot for FG made 11,331. Sac came out blazing 40-24 in the first quarter. We got stomped! 132-114 Kings

Game one vs the Wolves. We started strong and did alright through 3 and what happens too often with by boys happened again. We fell off in the 4th to end 111-112. We needed more assists, less turn overs and we need to hold the lead boys! 0-1.

"The Los Angeles Lakers trimmed their roster down to 15 players this morning, after waiving guard Jabari Brown." I liked Jabari Brown as he is getting better. I read he does not want to play for the D league and will look to go over seas. We'll see if keeping Ron Artest was the right choice or not as time passes.

Our last preseason game vs the champs was a stomping, they whipped the floor with us, we got pounded and from the beginning til the end it was men vs boys. The first real game is Next Wednesday 10/28/15.

Hi ergo84, Good thoughts. I agree with your comments on Kobe, he is slowing, he will be limited with minutes and he should have hug it up before now. I reserve comments on the teams until I see what they bring this year.

Lakers News: Team Waives Undrafted Rookie Jonathan Holmes

No sir, no goalie. We won last nights game vs. Portland.

Me too MG. ==== My boys game was called last night after 3 quarters with the score 85-70 over the champs. The game had to be called for safety. The hockey ice was leaking through the floor or something like that.

"Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom is reportedly fighting for his life after being found unconscious at Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada." Lakersnation said he is fighting for his life and Mitch and Kobe went to visit him.

Last night we lost to Sac (still preseason). We lost our 1-3 quarters but did play a better 4th. I want to see that more. I do not want to see any more injuries. Kobe was hurt last night and said he is ok. Of course he said he was OK. 3 years in a row of injuries and he wants to still play not not worry the fans. He probably thinks he's ok and has always played unless he is dead. He is a warrior. A ball hog warrior but a warrior in my eyes.

IDK. I have liked his skills but not his attitude MG. I'm not sure how that would look with what we have right now in two young bucks starting out their careers, Kobe and what we will be trying to do this year. I do not expect much this year as in challenging. I do not think we will make a run. I hope to have my boys work together, learn what we can from Kobe this year, develop other players and win what we can. I usually say, "We are going to take it all this year" but I do not feel comfortable with that claim this year (yet) until I see how we work together.

Yes sir, I'm with u on that. Preseason doesn't tell us much. It is a time for my boys to see what we can work with. I'm glad we one the last one.

Game Recap: Lakers Drop 3rd Straight Preseason Game With Loss To Raptors

Lakers News: Brandon Bass Day-To-Day With Patella Contusion 10-08-2015

We dropped the first two BUT we did not get pounded. Let's see...114 - 117 against Utah. They had one bad quarter and we played a stronger fourth. We had 7 in double digits. Some good things, good things but better if we won. Hibbert was ok tonight and Randle looked pretty good all around. Russel went down this game. Laker injury already started before this second game. This could be fun.

Preseason started last night in Hawaii for my boys and Utah. For me, preseason doesn't mean much besides getting a look at who we have on the floor, who will work well with whom and just get a taste of what playing in a game will be like. I don't like to lose and we lost last night 71-90 with typical poor play in the fourth. What are the factors that play into U.S. Tanking in the 4th quarter? We has 12 points vs their 33. That definitely will not help us and we will be better. Hibbert pulled down 10 with only 3 points. We'll see how it goes. GO LAKERS!

Darn. D’Angelo Russell Suffers Bone Bruise In Foot And so it starts

We'll see if he stays on and who is left after training camp GO LAKERS!

He used to drink too much I know that for sure. He is off

Ron Artest will sign a one year contract with us. He is a competitor and can help push our players to develop when they scrimmage I think. I think he and Randle play each other hard which can strengthen Randle I hope.

Your right MG. That saddens me that he went over to help them and not my boys. . That really is too bad for us.

Steve Nash will be on coaching staff for the Champs next year, the Golden State Warriors. Too back for my Lakers Guards

Lakers News: L.A. Signs Undrafted Center Robert Upshaw. He is a 7 footer "undrafted as an early entry candidate for the 2015 NBA Draft after his sophomore season at Washington, Upshaw led the nation with 4.5 blocks per game in just 24.9 minutes in 19 appearances in 2014-15. In addition, the 7-0 center averaged 10.9 points on 59.3% shooting and 8.2 rebounds for the Huskies in his final collegiate campaign, to go along with six double-doubles." Quote from Lakernation.com

I hope he adds. Basically my thought process is maybe management is trying to bring a lot of guards in, cut Kobe's time (I will believe it when I see it) and have development of newbies under Kobe as sort of a passing the baton scenario. I will be surprised if we get anywhere this year. It is my hope that my boys surprise and turn heads. We have young and different players but I hope we pull one out of the hat. Lakers stole the show in years past. I'd love to get back to that. Kobe is on his way out. I hope he fosters development. Clarkson seem to have potential and Russell is so new and a roukie but he seems to be confident in his skill and ability.

L.A. Signs Marcelo Huertas To One-Year Deal. So we got another guard. He is from Spain.
