Gasol might miss two weeks
NEW ORLEANS — Pau Gasol likened the sprained left ankle he suffered Friday night to one he had in training camp with Memphis — and that one cost him 10-to-14 days, as best as he could recall. Gasol will have diagnostic tests Saturday to determine the level of damage, but count him out…

Hornets 108, Lakers 98
NEW ORLEANS – When Chris Paul hurt his left ankle in the final minutes, he cringed in pain and grabbed at the injury and was able to walk it off. When Pau Gasol hurt his left ankle, it was in the opening minutes of the game and he didn’t come back. In the time in between, the Hornets had far…

No Kobe next training camp? No problem
NEW ORLEANS — The pregame conversation with Phil Jackson landed on the topic of the Olympics, and we know by now that he’s not real big on his players overexerting themselves elsewhere (All-Star Games, international play, snowboarding slopes, etc.). “It’s a financial loss to…

Open Game Thread #66: Bulls at New Orleans Hornets
Bah. Usually, as this season has progressed (or digressed), by each next game I'm back on the horse. That Sixers loss did me in though, like the Washington one should've. Would a win on the road over New Orleans make up for collapsing at home? Meh, maybe, but I've finally learned that…

Toughest Lakers trip since 1973
The Lakers are an impressive 12-6 on the Western Conference road, but even with a day off before each game, this trip starting Friday is daunting: New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Utah. The Lakers have not faced a late-season trip with four opponents combining for at least a .600 winning percentage…

Kobe happy for McGrady
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - There were so many “one game at a time” references emanating from Lakers practice it was practically a seminar on pro-athlete cliches. The Lakers weren’t too keen on talking about the nationally televised game against…

Progress, albeit minimal, for Ariza, Bynum, Gasol
DALLAS — Good news all around from the land of the limping and losing Lakers, even though none of the news really qualifies as great news for them. Pau Gasol was off crutches and standing on his own, reporting he was feeling “much better” and even wandering onto the practice court…

Game Preview: Bulls @ Hornets
Wow, these games are coming fast and furious. Not much time to rest those bad ankles our players are hauling around.I meant to mention this yesterday, but the brutal difference in long-distance shooting last night triggered memories of the other big blowouts we've been hit with this…

Ill Will & Growing Pains
The last few Knick games have been markedly different from the rest of the season. Unfortunately it hasn’t been the results that have changes, as New York has lost 8 of their last 9 games. The change has come in terms of the players on the court. With nothing to play for other than pride [...]

Ben Howland of UCLA is a class act
UCLA made a great decision when the hired Ben Howland to become the new coach of the UCLA Bruins. As a "Pac-10" guy I watch UCLA very closely as well as the rest of the Conference and in two years Howland has been in the NCAA Finals and in the semi-finals. As one who played on a Final…

Don't worry my man Sam, there's always blogs
Sure, it's all fun and games when Tribune Company cuts are portrayed on 'The Wire', or causes rampant speculation (and in the case of the Sun-Times, unintentionally hilarious idiocy) speculating on the fate of the Cubs and Wrigley Field. Not so much when it hits this close to home: Paper…
