The Lakers and The Grizzlies Go Head to Head!
This Friday we will see just how the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies can match up against each other. But the L.A. Lakers will have to tackle the Grizzlies without the help of one of their star players, Pau Gasol, who is sitting out because of a sprained left ankle. Gasol admitted on Thursday that he was upset that he would miss facing the Grizzlies on the court…as they are his former team. In USA today he was quoted as saying, “I was definitely looking forward to playing. It was hard to accept that I wasn’t going to be a part of the game…..It would have been nice and special.” We will see just how special it is, when the final score appears on the scoreboard.
Los Angeles is currently tied with Houston and San Antonio for the second best record in the West, and they trail the conference leading New Orleans by one game.

The Charlotte Bobcats Outshine the Lakers
Everyone seemed to be so sure that this would be a guaranteed win for the Los Angeles Lakers. But the Bobcats trampled the Lakers 108-95. The Bobcats were coming off of a 128-106 loss at Utah on Tuesday night and immediately established themselves as the better team in taking 57-44 halftime lead. Kobe Bryant, the Lakers’ star player drew two technical fouls in a small span of 29 seconds in the fourth quarter and was ejected from the game. This most recent loss dropped the Lakers into a three way tie for scond place in the Western Conference with Houston and San Antonio. They currently trail the New Orleans Hornets by one game.
The Los Angeles Lakers could have used another one of their star players, Pau Gasol, who missed his seventh straight game with a sprained left ankle. He hopes to return by next Wednesday. Lakers coach Phil Jackson was quoted on the AP as saying, “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not until Wednesday that he plays again. We’re hopeful it’s Sunday. We’ll have to let time take its course.” Don’t miss out on your opportunity to see this dynamic team, with all of its talented players, with your pair of Los Angeles Lakers tickets.
The Lakers Look to Remain Dominant on the Court!
After their win against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers seek to keep a hold of their prestigious place in the division. Kobe Bryant was quoted on USA Today as saying, “It was a huge win, especially for us. You have to remember we are still not playing with two starters, who are two key members of our ball club. We are undermanned, but we are still playing very well.” The Lakers will try to reclaim first place in the West on Wednesday when they host the Charlotte Bobcats. The Lakers are currently back in the first place slot in the West, although they trail New Orleans by percentage points.
Los Angeles will likely do well against the Bobcats who have currently lost six of seven after a franchise record five game winning streak. They recently lost 128-106 to Utah last night. It will take the help of key player Bryant along with Lamar Odom, who has been one of the main reasons that the Lakers have not faltered lately.

The Lakers Rebound!
The Los Angeles Lakers improved their game on Monday night, besting the Golden State Warriors on the court. According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, “A Lakers foul set up the Warriors for an inbounds pass with 4.0 seconds left. Ellis tried to burst from the four man stack and clear space for Davis to receive the ball. But Fisher stayed in front of Ellis and was either knocked over by Ellis’ momentum-or slipped and grabbed some of Ellis’ jersey on the way down, depending on your viewpoint.”
Kobe Bryant, the Lakers star player sank the last of his 30 points, with 23 after halftime, with a pair of clinching free throws with 3.3 seconds left in the game. Thus the Warriors’ attempts to take a season series from the Lakers, a feat they haven’t done since 1994-1995. This most recent loss leaves the Golden State Warriors just half a game ahead of Denver in the fight for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

Warriors Trample Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers were defeated by the Golden State Warriors 115-111. Thanks to the star player of the evening Stephen Jackson, the Warriors proved their worth on the court when he scored six of his 31 points on two three pointers in the final 38 1/2 seconds. The Warriors hadn’t beaten the Lakers in Los Angeles since they won 114-110 on January 22, 2003. Kobe Bryant tried his best to match those efforts put forth by Jackson by making two 3 pointers in the last 56.4 seconds, but he could not rise to the occasion and the end result was the defeat of the prominent Lakers.
The win turned out to be the second straight win for the Warriors over the Los Angeles Lakers after recovering from a nine game losing streak to their in-state rivals. Golden State won despite being out rebounded 60-43. The Lakers are trying to retain their top spot in the division and unfortunately this was quite a setback for Bryant and his star team.
