November 8, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

So, I turned 41 on Wednesday and decided to give my two cents on the NBA season thus far. Here are some of my observations: — The Lakers surprising 1-4 start.

During the NBA lockout there were several — and you know who you are — basketball writers and so-called experts who said the NBA was headed for a dark spring because no one is going to watch a bunch of spoiled athletes paid by a bunch of greedy owners.

CLASSLESS ACTS BY BYNUM, ODOM

May 9, 2011 by Joel Huerto 4 Comments

Two words come to mind after the Lakers were swept by the Mavericks in the 2011 Western Conference semifinal series: heartless and classless. The Lakers, the two-time defending champions and the model franchise for the past three decades in the NBA, did not display the heart of champion nor the poise of a champion in … [Read more…]

Just a few days removed from his postgame meltdown in which he questioned his coach for not giving him enough minutes, Brandon Roy is officially back as an NBA superstar.

NBA PREVIEW: THE TOP 8 IN THE WEST

October 28, 2010 by Joel Huerto 4 Comments

Despite all the hoopla in South Beach, the road to the NBA championship still runs through the Los Angeles Lakers.
