Hey bloggers,

After exploding and cruising past the Utah Jazz, LA have now made it to the Western Conference Finals, and are versing some old rivals the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers had managed to beat the Sun's in 7 games but this is a new year, and a new team. Even tho some faces are still the same from a few years ago, Phoenix now has a new coach who is looking forward to doing things a little differently and also to lead this talented team to the NBA Finals. During this season, the Lakers have managed to take 3-4 from the Suns and kept that winning percentage alive here tonight. Even with a knee injury,Kobe Bryant was just too unbelievable in this one ending his night with 40pts to lead all scores and to help LA obtain this victory. A big part of this one, was Lamar Oden, who was also very big in this ball game, finishing off with 19pts and 19reb. I didn't want to really wait," said Odom, "I said to myself if I'm going to have a bad game, then I'm going to have a bad game going out swinging ... I tried to attack." This is what LA needs from Lamar if they want to keep on rolling this way. They next play Wednesday night here at the Staples C enter.

Hey bloggers,

After playing hard , the Lakers are back in Oklahoma hoping to put this series away. It was an amazing game and probably one of my favourite playoff game so far. Both teams went at it and were exchanging buckets for buckets. Thunders were leading by 3 with 2 minutes left on the clock, but Kobe Aka mister big shot made a key jumpers to bring LA closer, and then Gasol got an offensive rebound from Kobe's miss shot, and put it back in to win the game. It was a very sad way to loose, but after all that's what you get when you don't box out. "I had Westbrook on me, got him in an isolation then went to my sweetspot, elevated, took the shot but it didn't go in," Bryant said. "Paul saved the game for us." If it wasn't for Paul saving his team like that, this series would of went back to LA for game 7, which would of been electrifying! It's sad to say that it's over for the Thunders, but they played very well during the whole season. This young team deserves a lot of credit. Now LA move on to the next one as Kobe says against the Utah Jazz. The series kicks off Sunday May 2^nd here in LA.

Hey bloggers,

Back in LA, the Lakers were hoping to get back to their usual, Winning! They quickly set up the paste from the get go and were rolling. They played great defence and did things just like in the first two games of this series, which they hadn't done in Oklahoma. Both LA's big man stepped up big time to give them a boost late in the ball game. Paul Gasol had 25pts and 11reb and Andrew Bynum finished with 21pts and 11reb. After watching the game, Thunders kept them selves in the ball game even while shooting the ball very poorly. The couldn't buy a shot from the outside, but with great ability to get to the hole, Westbrook and Durant kept this game pretty close until the fourth quarter. For me to see such a young team play that well during this series, is a great feeling especially when your going up against the defending champs. Kobe Bryant even said that Thunders can be a hell of a challenge when they want. I enjoy a challenge," If we're going to be eliminated then I want to go into the summer thinking that I could have done something about. So I accept the challenge." The next game is back in Oklahoma on Friday night. I think It just gets better from now on!

Hey bloggers,

After an impressive win over the Lakers , the young Thunder team comes up big with another sneaky win over LA, but this time it was a blowout. This team has now won two in a row here in Oklahoma and i am sure that they are feeling good to see that their right back in this series. You could tell by watching the game, knowing that they were down 2-0 against the defending champs, they just had to battle back and battle and do something differently in order to get this key win. In an interview, Coach Phil Jackson said this about the way LA played. "Not much to say about that one, they just took it to us, "The beginning of the second half was as bad as we can start and we tumbled from there. It was a pretty good meltdown." After hearing that comment, Lakers starting guard, also the Captain, said that he had never heard his coach say something like that, which means that they must of played very bad and they probably did quit on each other during this game. Paul Gasol had 13pts, and Kobe only 12pts. As for the Thunders, the had a great contribution as usual from their point guard Russel Westbrook with 18 and Durant had 22 to lead all scores. Both team will now head back to LA tonight for game 5.

Hey bloggers,
Today LA are on a two day road trip against their opponent Oklahoma Thunders. The Lakers who have played very well in the past two days, knew that it wouldn’t be an easy task in this building, and they were right. Oklahoma played adjusted well to the tall LA squad and played great defence during the whole game. Watching the game, I taught La would have a great advantage during this season since Oklahoma is a very short teams and they have all the height on their side. Russel Westbrook and Kevin Durant combined for 56 of the 101 Thunder point to get this win. During an interview, Kobe Bryant said this young team can sure play ball, and are going to get excited and play well for their fans, but we just have to find a way to take them out of their rhythm. Thunders know that it just gets tougher from here because a great coach like Phil Jackson will adjust and try to take more advantage of their advantage. LA next verses Thunders back here on Saturday night before heading back to LA Sunday morning. Durant finished his night with 28pts and 10reb on a poor shooting night while teammate Russel Westbrook topped off his night with 27pts and 7reb.

Hey Bloggers,

The Lakers had an easy win over the Thunders two nights ago, and were hoping to repeat it here tonight before heading to Oklahoma . I Cant say that tonight's game was an easy win for LA at all because the score was very tight for the whole 48min. Both teams played and executed very well, but at the end it was a battle of the superstars with Kobe and Durant shinning when their teams needed them most. Even tho Ron Artest played exceptional defence on Durant, he still managed to walk out this one with 32pts but the story of the night was Kobe Bryant, who made big shots as the time was whining down. He made key free throws and just couldn't be stopped. "You expect him to make big shots," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "Unfortunately he did again tonight." Bryant had 39pts to lead all scores and to help his team win this one. I watched the whole game and Thunders defence was very good against LA, especially since they have a much shorter team then the Lakers do, and i also feel that Thunders are quickly getting the hang of this. "Our energy on the defensive end was phenomenal," said Durant "We just have to correct the offensive."Maybe when they go back to Oklahoma, this team just might have a chance to win a game or more if they play the way they played today, and that's a scary taught for the Champs.

Hey bloggers,

First game of the 2009-2010 NBA playoffs was a good one for the Lakers. They had all their starters back and were ready to role. They did struggled a lot late in the season with Kobe and Bynum out and weren't looking like they would be ready to compete coming playoff time, but they did what they had to do here tonight and got the job done. They were very aggressive and had a lot of help from their big mans, even Bynum taught so. "That's just part of being aggressive and letting people know and having a presence out there." Said Bynum who finished of with 13pts and 12reb. It was good to see them adjust to newer things just like Kobe said they would and to be honest After watching this game I feel that LA will take this series 4-0 if they keep on playing like this. With all that said, we have to acknowledge that Oklahoma is a new and young team, and its also their first time qualifying for the playoffs, but they need to know that nothing will come easy for them during this series, especially against the defending champs. "It was a tough one for us tonight," Durant said. "I had some good looks. Some great looks. I wasn't able to make them. That's discouraging." Kobe Bryant finished with 21pts and Paul Gasol ended his night with 19pts and 13reb to secure this victory.

Hey Bloggers,

All around the Los Angels Lakers had a good post season. They had their ups and down but played very well when they needed it. They had a lot of injuries during and throughout the whole season but they also handled that very well. With Bynum out for a few months, Lamar Odem stepped up and helped the Lakers pick up the slacks and to fill up the wholes. Even tho at times the Lakers seemed as if they were lacking a personality, we all still believe that the defending champs are and will remain one of the toughest contenders in this league. With the post season now over, the Lakers are hoping to have the whole roster healthy in order to make some noise in the playoffs. If they want to win the really need to do a few things differently to accomplish that goal. I heard Kobe Bryant on an interview say that they need to change a lot of things for the playoffs because you can never win two championship in a row doing the same thing. And i think that is totally true since other teams have really stepped up in making changes for their sake and their organizations. Hopefully the LA learned a lot and will be ready for the playoffs coming up in a few days. LET THE PLAYOFFS BEGGIN!:)

Hey Bloggers,

After a great win over the Kings last night, LA is versing their close friends the LA Clippers tonight at the staples centre. It was their last game of the season and Lakers still didn't have Kobe Bryant which hurt them late in the game. Clipplers two guard Steve Blake and Baron Davis played exceptionally well and the others just did what they could to end their season on a good note. "I thought it was a great way to end the season," said Clippers coach Kim Hughes. "The bench came in and helped us out tremendously...Tonight, we were a well-balanced team all the way around." Steve Blake had an outstanding performance finishing of his night with a triple double. He had 23pts 10reb and 13 assist and Kris Kaman pitched in 22pts and 7reb. As for the Lakers, they now have Sasha Vuyacic out for the season with an ankle injury. Its a bad loss for them this late in the season because Sasha played well when the starters weren't providing much. We are definitely going to miss Sasha," said Lakers forward Ron Artest. "He was really starting to play well and I can't wait to get him back." That's only if they do get him back sometimes during the playoffs.

Hey bloggers,

Today the Lakers were versing Tyreke Evans and his young Sacramento Kings. Kings were looking forward of taking advantage of the fact that Kobe Bryant wasn't in this one, but LA's deep bench stepped up quite well to help them win this one tonight. The Lakers bench had a great role in this game, especially Shannon Brown Kobe's replacement. Brown played great defence and provided the Lakers with just enough with Kobe out. ''It hurts but I just drown it out," said Brown. "I'm trying to get a nice rhythm that's going to be consistent through the playoffs." With Playoffs coming up, its just this type of intensity and play that this team is going to need if they want to repeat what they did last year and become back to back champs for this year. "Not having consistency is always something tough to deal with," Brown said. And hes right because this team has been going through some ups and downs and you can't have that this late in the season. Paul Gasol had 28pts and 8reb while Shannon brown added 24pts of the bench to help LA get past this young team. This was LA's last home game before the playoffs and they needed this win. The next face off against the LA Clippers here at the Staples Center but as the away team.
