New Lakerstats Format!
09.04.10
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, we’ve completely revamped the look of the site. We have decided to move to a WordPress-driven web site so we can write more news, allow comments, and just add some general interaction to the web site that we haven’t had before. You can also actually comment on ANY page of the site, even the pages that just have stats. So that’s something interesting. You do not need to register a username to post comments, but you can if you want.
Also, some parts of the site haven’t been updated with the new look, but we’re slowly getting them all migrated over. If you come to a page that looks like the old site, it’s not a mistake. There is a lot of coding and database calls to get all the stat pages working right, so it does take a little time to convert them.
We hope you will enjoy our new look here, as we work to be a much more interactive place in conjunction with being a huge statistical resource for the Los Angeles Lakers.
If anyone is interested in being a blogger on the site, please send me an email at info@lakerstats.com. We are looking for writers to contribute to the site. We already have a new blogger, “vclakerfan,” who put up his first post yesterday. So if you’re a Laker fan and like to blather on about the Lakers and the NBA like we do, drop me an email.

The Countdown to 2010-11 Begins. Lakerstats Updated for New Season!
08.10.10
The NBA released its full 2010-2011 team schedules today, which means next season is getting closer as the Lakers go for a three in a row for the second time under Phil Jackson.
Coinciding with the schedules being released today, we of course updated our 2010-2011 Lakers schedule as well. We also updated the current team roster and added in Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, and Theo Ratliff and their respective player bios. All the other different yearly areas of the site have been updated for the new season as well. Of course there’s not much data in them yet.
We’ve also completely revamped large portions of the site, cleaning data up, and combining some sections as well. If you look around, you’ll see some new sections that we haven’t had before like the Uniforms page for example. We now break out individual playoff seasons and All-Star game numbers in all player bios. Before the playoff numbers were just totals and we never had the All-Star stats at all. We’ve also re-worked a bunch of areas to make them more user-friendly and easier to find stats and information. Some of them were just too hard to navigate, and that’s been simplified.
Lastly, we’ve gotten the entire Team Records section up to date, it had been a little outdated and wasn’t 100% accurate. It is complete now and will update automatically as the season goes on. So if you want to track say Kobe’s career point totals after every game, this is the place to come. We do have to re-work back in some of the individual game and miscellaneous records, but we will do that soon.
So that’s it, looking forward to a great season and continuing to keep Lakerstats living up to its namesake. Any questions or comments, you can send us an e-mail by clicking the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the site. Thanks for your support.
