Laker Day on NBA TV
09.17.10
If you’re anywhere near a television today and have NBA TV, the station will be playing games and programs associated with the Lakers all throughout the day, in honor of Phil Jackson’s 65th birthday.
Shows rotated include a replay of Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers. Of course everyone remembers that game. Watch the Lakers’ furious fourth quarter rally highlighted by the “Bryant…to Shaq” alley-oop in the final minute to seal the Lakers first trip to the NBA Finals since 1991.
You can also watch Game 1 of the 2001 Western Conference Semi-Finals, a tough game the Lakers won 108-105 on their way to sweeping the Kings, and putting together the NBA’s best-ever postseason at 15-1. It of course culminated with a second straight title after a 5-game win over the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Finals.
Game 3 of the 2002 NBA Finals will be on. That was the tightest of the games against New Jersey, as the Lakers went on to “threepeat” and sweep the Nets 4-0.
They’re also showing Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. We all remember how that one ended, so please enjoy watching the Leprechauns go down again.
There’s also two shows on both the 2009 title team and the back-to-back champs of 2010.
So enjoy a full day of Lakers on the tube. You can check your local TV listings or the guide on your cable box for exact times of these programs today.
Matt Barnes Arrested
09.08.10
And from the world of, “I Knew This Off Season Was Going Too Well,” newest Laker Matt Barnes was arrested tonight on felony assault charges, and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.
According to police, Barnes was arrested for assualting the woman “who lived with him and with whom he had a dating relationship.” He posted a $50,000 bond and was released shortly after 9:30 PM tonight.
According to Sacbee.com,
Both parties were said to have visible injuries, but Barnes was determined to be the primary aggressor according to police. Barnes is also charged with maliciously obstructing the use of a telephone line. He’s scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Wow, thanks Matt. Great timing too. Let’s hope this isn’t as bad as it sounds.
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.
Thanks for your support!
