Wallace's return to Bobcats might be complicated
Just how will Bobcats coach Sam Vincent blend Gerald Wallace back into the mix without disrupting the progress Matt Carroll and Jared Dudley have made? "I like how these guys are playing, and I don’t want to think about that...

Recap: Warriors 109, Bobcats 118- Bad Karma + The Trade Year 1 (so far)
Tonight's Leastern Conference opponent sported a .350 winning record (or .650 losing record if you want to look at it that way), were without one of their best players, and were down by 13 after the first quarter in their own building. Well anything can happen in this league and that's …

The Hornets beat the Nets
Lots of good things to take from last night's win over the visiting New Jersey Nets. The Hornets did kinda sleepwalk through the first half and should have turned the game into a complete blowout, but I'll choose to focus on the positive today. It is the weekend after all.Notes, from my…

Andrew Bynum might still be a month away
LOS ANGELES — It’s looking more and more like the Lakers you’re seeing are going to be the ones they try to ride to the championship, with Andrew Bynum perhaps just a reliever for Pau Gasol. After saying last month that he expected Bynum to return to a starting role after a few…

Kobe still playing through pain
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - It’s easy to forget that Kobe Bryant is having an MVP-worthy season with a damaged finger on his shooting hand, especially after his 52-point game on Sunday. That doesn’t mean the pain isn’t there. “Every day,”…

Lakers 117, Kings 105
SACRAMENTO – If the Lakers keep playing crunchtime defense this way, the championship threat will become more than that. After the Lakers outlasted Dallas on Sunday with improved defense, they locked down the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night over the final six minutes to rally for a victory that…

Hype getting too big?

Lakers 119, Clippers 82
LOS ANGELES – If the definition of a real rivalry is tenacious competition even when the teams’ talent levels are uneven, this Lakers-Clippers matchup hardly qualifies. In the 23 seasons since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles, they have won the season series just twice (1974-75 and…
