Feel the passion, Lakers fans, as the moral victories pile up
I came to Staples Center on Friday night pretty darn excited, the Lakers coming off two incredible moral victories and Magic Johnson and Jim Buss full of good cheer. Happy days are here again. Or, as Buss put it in a radio interview, "How can you not...

Wade, Haslem know championship bridge
Sometimes it's not about coaches, even as the Los Angeles Lakers have made it almost solely about that at the start of this season. Sometimes championship legacy is about the players, those who bridge eras, maintain continuity. That's...

Time for Magic to start Harkless
Even though the Magic point toward the future, there's no time like the present to start teenage rookie Maurice Harkless. Pencil him in the lineup. See how it will go for Moe. This is the right time, the right situation. The Magic are rebuilding...

Mike D'Antoni has been a huge failure with Lakers
The Lakers have a huge problem and it's not Pau Gasol. It's the guy who is being paid handsomely to utilize his expertise and get the most out of one of the NBA's top players. And so far Coach Mike D'Antoni has been a huge failure. Say what you want...

At least L.A. has one stable, winning franchise in Clippers
What an exciting night, and it's all about basketball. It's been nothing but chaos, dysfunctional management and poor public relations around here the last few days, so what a relief to spend some time with the Clippers. It never fails to amaze how some...

Mike D'Antoni's likable enough; time will tell if he's good enough
So here I am, the Welcome Wagon, the first media guy in Los Angeles talking to Mike D'Antoni and he's not quitting. I thought I would be spending the day genuflecting in front of the Zen Master again, but by the time I'm finished with D'Antoni I'm...

What if Black Friday expanded to the sports world?
"When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road" —Steely Dan, "Black Friday" Hey, you! Yeah, you, the one with an armful of shiny new stuff and a rapidly shrinking credit line. I...Tags: Jake Long, National Basketball Association, Tony Sparano, National Hockey League, Matt Barkley

Blame starts at top for Lakers' bungling of Phil Jackson's return
In the final minutes of practice Monday, the Lakers were playing a pickup game. The rich and gifted athletes were running up and down the gym floor like chaotic children on a playground, gunning and fouling and arguing. They were playing like a team...

Magic want to avoid character issues
If you haven't noticed, it's all rainbows and gumdrops for the post-Dwight Howard Magic. The real Magic Kingdom doesn't spout this much squeaky-clean goodness and positive vibes. During this rebuild, pardon our pixie dust. At media day last October,...Tags: Josh McRoberts, Andrew Nicholson, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade

Interim Coach Bernie Bickerstaff tries to keep it simple for Lakers
He was asked and so he served, but Bernie Bickerstaff gave the distinct impression he will be happy when his term as the Lakers' interim coach ends and he can go back to being a low-profile assistant coach with nothing more pressing to worry about than...

Why Lakers' hiring of Mike D'Antoni is bad, in 7 seconds or less
The new Lakers coach famously wants his players to shoot in seven seconds or less. I’m not going to require that long to list the reasons that hiring Mike D'Antoni was yet another Buss blunder. He's never taken a team to an NBA Finals. He has a...

Nothing minor-league about Pittman's move
The one thing Dexter Pittman has never had problems with is making friends. To know the third-year Miami Heat center is to like him. Making inroads in his pro career, or even gains with his skills? That's another issue. That's why when...
