If you have not read this piece, you should. It is an optimistic look at the Lakers' defense so far this season. C.A highlights what the team has done well and hopes the return of Bynum will improve overall defense, especially in defending inside and defensive rebounding. C.A. certainly has reasons to hope. Our defensive rebounding has actually improved since that December buzzer beating lost to Milwaukee . I will never understand why the Bucks were awarded 19 points for their last basket.

Do you know what else equally baffles me? The Lakers interior defense. Sometimes it is so easy to penetrate, even Dex wonders if he's  overexerting himself with your mom. To add insult to injury, through stretches, Pau looks possessed by the ghost of Kyle Korver. So I decided to first research why the soul of Korver refuses to leave this world and  then research  the Lakers interior defense and see if there is any hope. Take the jump for some enlightening revelations.

Sometimes, I get in my DeLorean and travel back in time to relieve certain Lakers moment.  After the recent display of fail from our beloved Lakers, I needed a reminder that this loss was in the most part meaningless. So, I planned to travel to our last 3-game losing streak and relieve the reactions from Lakerland. That would surely make feel better, right? Unfortunately, my time machine, requiring a focused mind to operate, malfunctioned. Something else was bugging me...

Wasn't a Ludacris look-a-like the first to predict what would unfold on "The Decision"? So there I was, June 28th 2010, where one Stephen A Smith was making news by claiming that L.. bla bla. Soon, I realized that I was very entertained by the reactions to this utterly ridiculous claim. So i thought I would share some of my findings and hopefully you will forget that Fish is "guarding" another point guard tomorrow.

I'm sure many read this quote from that office manager who found his workplace vandalized

The Lakers cost the city more than they're worth... I was kind of hoping the other team would win so this wouldn't

happen.

This quote was probably uttered with some anger and isn't the only reason he dislikes the team; yet it highlights how crazy fans can ruin what is supposed to be a celebration for most. A championship should bring pride and unite citizens in jubilation, but actions by some fans are causing the opposite result. I know this is not a new phenomenon; the increased police force wasn't enough though. Something else should be done so that more people can enjoy those moments. Something like canceling the parade because of destruction, but then it really ruins it for the fans that are actually sane. So what do you guys think, if anything, can be done to deal with this problem?

After last night Cavs-Celtics game, many in the media seem to be losing faith in their King.  While one might expect articles analyzing the Celtics rise from series underdogs to possible ass whooping eastern conference finalists,we get treated to pieces depicting the King's new found invisibility mode. Sadly, I'll be continuing this trend in this post, so bear with me.
