Lakers - Hornets Pregame
Assistant coach Jim Cleamons sat down with us after shootaround to talk about L.A.’s Sunday evening matchup with Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets, detailing how to go at the shifty point guard, the addition of Emeka Okafor and elements of the Hornets’ Princeton offense.
We also learned from Phil Jackson that Pau Gasol (hamstring) [...]

Video: B-Shaw on the Grizz
On paper, the Memphis Grizzlies are among the most interesting of squads.
While they rank 7th in the NBA in scoring and have three players averaging at least 20 points (O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph), they are 30th (that’d be last) in the NBA in points allowed (115.2) and 29th in both opponent [...]

Lakers - Hawks Pregame
After shootaround on Sunday morning, assistant coach Brian Shaw joined us to talk about the Atlanta Hawks (2-0), in Los Angeles for the only time this season. Here’s what he had to say:

Phil Jackson Pregame
As has become customary, one of the first questions addressed to L.A.’s head coach was about the health of All-Star Pau [...]

Video Scouting Report: Mavericks
Prior to every home game, we sit down with whichever Lakers assistant coach prepares the scouting report for that night’s opponent, which in this case is the Dallas Mavericks.
Jim Cleamons joined us after practice yesterday to talk about the addition of Shawn Marion, what to do defensively with Dirk Nowitzki in Pau Gasol’s absence and [...]

Lakers Celebrate Ring Night with Victory
While seven years would be the shortest of times between championships for most professional franchises, it seemed far too long for Lakers fans that have celebrated the riches of a franchise that won five times in the 1980’s, three straight from 2000-02 and 15 total. It’s all relative, after all.
Yet when longtime PA announcer Lawrence [...]

Farmar Back on “NUMB3RS” Tonight
During the previous season of CBS drama “NUMB3RS,” Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar showed off his acting chops while guest starring as himself in an episode.
Apparently, his appearance impressed the show’s producers enough to garner an invitation back for this season, in an episode entitled “Friendly Fire” that will air Friday night on CBS.

Voice of the Lakers in Vegas
Before L.A.’s final Summer League game, we ran into Lakers play-by-play voice Joel Meyers.
Meyers, in town to call games for NBA.com and NBATV, offered his observations about Adam Morrison and L.A.’s Vegas crew and threw in a few food “joints” to catch back in L.A. over the summer.

Chucky Brown on Lakers Summer League
That L.A. managed to go 3-2 in Las Vegas with just one player assured a spot on L.A.’s regular season roster, the lowest of any team at the Summer League, was an impressive feat for SL Head Coach Chucky Brown and assistant Rasheed Hazzard. We spent a few minutes with Brown prior to L.A.’s final [...]

Lakers Stop the Thunder in Vegas
As we saw during L.A.’s fourth Summer League game in Las Vegas, each NBA franchise sending a squad to Sin City has a different goal, depending primarily on that team’s roster heading into the 2009-10 season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (0-2) - a team building for what looks to be a bright future - falls among [...]

Three Things with Josh Powell
We didn’t let Josh Powell do too many interviews at media availability on Saturday before pulling him aside … Not when we had his first career 3-pointer, Kobe’s snarl and Lil’ Wayne to talk about.

Lil’ Wayne’s Kobe/Lakers Track
In a blog post on ESPN.com, rapper Lil’ Wayne listed off his favorite teams in each sport, naming the Lakers as his favorite hoops squad. His native New Orleans was without a pro basketball team from 1979-2002 so it makes sense that he might align himself with the Purple & Gold. Especially considering how [...]

STAPLES Center is a big building, but it certainly got crowded quickly when media members from all over the world assembled Wednesday afternoon to interview Lakers and Magic players heading into Thursday’s NBA Finals.
