The Pistons could not make up the deficit and ended up losing to the Lakers by the score of 106-96. The Lakers ended their week by traveling to Washington to take on the Eastern Conference's own Washington Wizards. During the contest the Wizards took full advantage of a slow shooting night from the Lakers and specifically Kobe Bryant. Washington held Los Angeles to just 39% shooting and Bryant to just 8-22 shooting although the Lakers star did score 29 points. Washington on the other hand shot 48% from the field while Bradley Beal scored 27 points in a 111-95 victory over the Lakers.When the week was all said and done the team finished with an overall record of 5-14.
11-28-14: The Los Angeles Lakers have had one of the tougher starts to the 2014/2015 season but have won each of their last two contests to push their record to 3-9 in the campaign. The Lakers started this week by traveling to Dallas to take on Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks on the road. In the game the Lakers were led by 18 points from Jeremy Lin and a double-double from Jordan Hill but the team could not overcome a cold night from Kobe Bryant. Bryant finished with just 17 points on 6-22 shooting as the Mavericks made quick work of the Lakers 140-106. In the contest the Mavericks were led by 23 points from Dirk Nowitzki as the team shot a staggering 62% from the field in the victory for Dallas. In the Lakers next contest the team was back in the Staples Center hosting the Denver Nuggets in a home game. In the contest the Lakers were led by 27 points from Kobe Bryant while Jordan Hill added a double-double but it was not enough in a 101-94 loss to the Nuggets. Los Angeles shot just 37% from the field and a miniscule 13% from beyond the arc as the team dropped their second straight game. Meanwhile Denver had five players that scored in double figures while the team shot 38% from the field in the victory for the Nuggets. Memphis spent the night before Thanksgiving playing their final game of the week as the road team in Los Angeles against the Los Angeles Lakers. During the contest the Grizzlies held Kobe Bryant in check allowing 22 points to the Lakers star. The good news for Memphis was that 10 of Bryant's 22 points came on the free throw line as Bryant finished shooting just 5-15 on the night. Bryant's efforts were not enough as the Lakers fell to the Grizzlies in this contest by the score of 99-93. Memphis was led by 19 points each from Marc Gasol and Mike Conley in the game as the Grizzlies out-shot and out-rebounded the Lakers in the contest. When the week was all said and done the team finished with an overall record of 3-12.
11-21-14: The Los Angeles Lakers have had a terrible start to their 2014/2015 campaign both on and off the court.
The bad start began with the loss of Steve Nash and Julius Randle to injury and has spilled over onto the
court as the team has started the young season with a 1-7 record. The Lakers started this week by
playing host to the defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs at home in Staples Center as the team
searched for its second win of the young season. In the contest Kobe Bryant was absolutely cold from
the field shooting just 1-14 and 0-5 from the three point line as the star guard managed just nine points
in the contest. Meanwhile the Spurs were led by the usual suspects in Tim Duncan and Tony Parker as
San Antonio went on to beat the Lakers in convincing fashion by the score of 93-80. The Lakers looked to
turn things around in their next contest when the team headed home to host the Golden State Warriors
at Staples Center. In the game the Lakers were led by none other than Kobe Bryant as the Los Angeles
guard scored 44 points and grabbed five rebounds but once again his supporting cast was a no show for
the most part in the contest. The Warriors had much more of a complete team game on the night with
seven players from Golden State scoring in double digits including Stephen Curry's 30 point night. The
Warriors outlasted Kobe and the Lakers in this contest winning by the score of 136-115. In the Lakers
next contest the team was back out on the road in Atlanta taking on the Atlanta Hawks from the Eastern
Conference. In the contest the home team Hawks were led offensively by 29 points from Paul Millsap
and 23 points from Jeff Teague while the team shot an impressive 48% from the field. The Lakers were
all that much better on the night as Kobe Bryant led Los Angeles with 28 points while Carlos Boozer
added 20 points and 10 rebounds in the Lakers second victory of the season. The Lakers would win the
game by the score of 114-109 after scoring 67 points in the first half and coasting to victory in the
second half. The Lakers looked to win their second consecutive game in their last matchup of the week
as the team traveled to Houston to take on the Houston Rockets. In the contest the Rockets were led by
none other than James Harden as the Houston guard scored 24 points. The Rockets did not take nearly
the amount of shots in the contest as the Lakers did as Houston attempted just 74 shot attempts for a
41% make percentage. Los Angeles also had a 41% make percentage shooting on the night but
attempted 91 shot attempts in a 98-92 victory for the Lakers. Kobe Bryant led the team with 29 points
while Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill each added a double-double in the Lakers victory. When the week
was all said and done the team finished with an overall record of 3-9.
11-14-14: The Los Angeles Lakers 2014/2015 campaign did not start the way that Steve Nash, Julius Randle, and Kobe Bryant had hoped as two of them are gone for the season and Bryant is 0-5 to start the season. The Lakers started this week by taking four days off before traveling to Charlotte to take on the Charlotte Hornets. In the game Al Jefferson once again led the way for the Hornets with 23 points but the Lakers duo of Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin combined for 42 points. In the end the Lakers got their first victory of the season as Los Angeles beat Charlotte in convincing fashion by the score of 107-92. The Lakers looked to make it two victories in a row in their next game as Los Angeles traveled to Memphis to take on the Memphis Grizzlies. In the contest Mike Conley led the Grizzlies with 23 points while Beno Udrih added 16 points in a 107-102 victory over the Lakers. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 28 points in the contest but once again had little help from his supporting cast in yet another loss for Los Angeles. The Lakers finished their week off by traveling to New Orleans to play a Western Conference road game with the Pelicans. In the contest the same old story went down for Los Angeles as Kobe Bryant led the team in scoring with 33 points but his supporting cast was not supportive enough in a 109-102 loss for the Lakers. The Pelicans offensive attack was led by 25 points from Anthony Davis in the victory for New Orleans. When the week was all said and done the team finished with an overall record of 1-7.
11-7-14: The Los Angeles Lakers started their 2014/2015 season off last week by dropping their home opener to
the Houston Rockets and by dropping their first road game of the season to the Phoenix Suns to start
their season 0-2. With the 2014/2015 season entering its first full week the Lakers headed home to host
their crosstown rivals in the Los Angeles Clippers in Staples Center. The Lakers were without Steve Nash
and Julius Randle in the contest and had nobody to defend Blake Griffin as he dropped 39 points in the
contest. Jordan Hill scored 23 points for the Lakers while Kobe Bryant added 21 points in a loss to the
Clippers by the score of 118-111. The Lakers continued their quest for their first victory of the season
when they traveled to Golden State to play the Golden State Warriors on the road. In the game the
Warriors Klay Thompson went off offensively scoring 41 points while Stephen Curry added 31 points in a
game that Golden State won by the score of 127-104. In the game Kobe Bryant did his part scoring 28
points while Jordan Hill added 23 points but the defense had no answer for Thompson and Curry in this
contest in the loss. Los Angeles ended their week back at home in Staples Center when the Lakers
hosted the Phoenix Suns for the second time in their young season. Kobe Bryant went off offensively in
the game scoring 39 points and grabbing 9 rebounds while getting help from Jeremy Lin, Jordan Hill, and
Carlos Boozer. While Kobe was a one man wrecking crew for the Lakers the Suns played more of a team
game when Markieff Morris, Gerald Green, and Isaiah Thomas each scored over 20 points while pulling
down a combined 22 rebounds in the game. The trio for Phoenix was too much for the Lakers as the
Suns beat Los Angeles for the second time in the young season by the score of 112-106. When the week
was all said and done the team finished with an overall record of 0-5.
10-31-14: The Los Angeles Lakers tipped off the 2014-2015 season by facing off with the Houston Rockets on the road and it didn't take long for the Lakers season to absorb another blow. The Lakers are already without Steve Nash for the entire season and may now be without lottery pick Julius Randle after he suffered a broken tibia in his NBA debut, a Lakers 108-90 loss to the Rockets. The Lakers are going to apply for a disabled list exemption for Nash and may do so as well with Randle if the injury is deemed season ending, which looks extremely likely. Los Angeles is now pursuing former Nuggets forward Quincy Miller who was just waived by Denver. The Lakers are set to save about $4.851 million on the Nash contract and $1.499 million on the Randal contract that Los Angeles will use on a free agent or two like Miller to replace their players. One good line of thinking that the Lakers are employing after the losses of Nash and Randle is that the team will likely be in contention for a Top 5 lottery draft pick next season. The Lakers 2015 first round pick is owed to the Phoenix Suns but is protected if Los Angeles' pick is in the Top 5. Next week, the team travels home to host the Los Angeles Clippers before traveling to take on the Golden State Warriors. Los Angeles will then head back home to host the Phoenix Suns before taking four days off before their next game.
10-29-14: With Kobe Bryant back to full health, Laker tickets on the secondary market have experienced a steady increase in price since last season. The average secondary market price for tickets at Staples Center this season is $232.55, 46.2% higher than last year's average of $159.06. Kobe and his young cast of talent will take a stab at LeBron's Cavaliers on January 15 at home, which will be the most expensive game on the Lakers schedule this season. The average price for Lakers vs Cavaliers tickets is $482.10, 107.3% above the season average, with a get-in price of $88.
10-24-14: The Los Angeles Clippers finished in first place in the Pacific Division last season but have struggled in the postseason this year. The team sits at 2-5, failing to post a victory on the road. Some kinks will need to be worked out, though Blake Griffin and company will likely have another stellar year at the Staples Center.
10-15-14: The Los Angeles Lakers opened their preseason schedule on Oct 6 with a 98-95 win over the Denver Nuggets, but have since dropped two straight games to the Golden State Warriors, including a 116-75 loss in their last outing on Oct 12. Next on the Los Angeles Lakers preseason schedule is a meeting with the Utah Jazz at the Honda Center this Thursday, followed by four more preseason games to go with another meeting with Utah, then Phoenix, Portland, and Sacramento before they kick off their regular season on Oct 28 at home against the Houston Rockets.
10-8-14: The Los Angeles Lakers got a win over the Denver Nuggets this past Monday to kick off their preseason as they now get ready to play two upcoming games with the Golden State Warriors on October 9 and 12, followed by two meetings against the Utah Jazz on October 16 and 19, with the remaining preseason games against Suns, Trailblazers, and Kings to finish off their preseason schedule. After rough season filled with injuries, gone is Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, and Mike D'antoni. In comes new head coach Bryon Scott and a healthy Kobe Bryant who hasn't played much in the past year and a half due to injuries.
9-22-14: The Lakers point guard situation last year was riddled with injuries. Steve Nash and Jordan Farmar were sidelined for a lot of the season. Point guard duties fell to d-league call-up Kendall Marshall who played well but is now with the Milwaukee Bucks. The fill their hole the Lakers acquired sensation Jeremy Lin from Houston. Looking to learn under and take the minutes load off of Steve Nash the lakers hope to have their point guard woes solved with this signing. Regardless fans will love seeing Linsanity in the purple and gold.
8-13-14: The LA Lakers didn't get much of a boost to their roster this offseason as they struck out in the Carmelo Anthony sweepstake and getting rejected by Pau Gasol when offering a 3 year deal worth $29 million. However, they did add Jeremy Lin to the squad after he lost his starting job in Houston, and Carlos Boozer from a waiver who was being benched by Chicago in crunch time. Jordan Hill is back for $9 million, while Kobe is 36 years old and Steve Nash is 40 both coming off injury plagued seasons.
Los Angeles Lakers 2014 Draft Overview
Round 1, Pick 7, Julius Randle, PF, Kentucky
Round 2, Pick 46, Jordan Clarkson, PG, Missouri (via trade with Washington Wizards)
4-7-14: Friday night was one to forget for the Lakers. They gave up more than 140 points for the second time in March as they fell by 36 points against the Timberwolves in Minnesota. However, on Tuesday, Chris Kaman and the Lakers played the role of spoilers for the visiting Phoenix Suns. Kaman put up 28 points and 17 rebounds as Los Angeles won, 115-99. Then on Tuesday, Nick Young scored a game-high 40 points and Steve Nash registered a double-double, but those performances were not enough as the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Lakers, 124-112. Then, Wednesday was not a good night because Pau Gasol, Xavier Henry, Kaman and Nash all sat out, and Los Angeles lost by five points in Sacramento.
4-1-14: The Lakers' week did not start so well, but they ended up going 2-2. On Friday, they lost to the Washington Wizards by 10 points and Pau Gasol left Sunday's game after experiencing dizziness and nausea. However, the Lakers fought hard without their star. Jordan Hill scored a career-high 28 points as Los Angeles defeated the Orlando Magic, 103-94. On Tuesday, Gasol remained out as the Lakers set their franchise record for most points scored in a quarter. They put up 51 points in the third quarter against the New York Knicks and went on to win, 127-96. The Lakers could not make it three wins in a row, as they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks, 108-105.
3-24-14: The Lakers played only two games this past week, and they faced the league-best San Antonio Spurs twice. Pau Gasol put up game-highs in both points and rebounds on Friday in San Antonio, but that performance was not enough as the Los Angeles Lakers became the first team to be eliminated from the 2014 NBA playoffs. The Spurs won that night, 119-85. Then on Wednesday, the teams faced off at the Staples Center. The Lakers topped 100 points in this contest as Gasol filled the stat sheet again: 22 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. However, the Lakers dropped that game by 16 points.
3-17-14: The Lakers made the Staples Center crowd happy as they won their only home game this past week. After dropping Friday's contest at Denver by eight points, Mike D'Antoni's squad returned home to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The juggernaut of the Western Conference was shocked by Jodie Meeks's career-high 42 points on Sunday. With Meeks scoring by far the most points by a Laker in a game this season, Los Angeles was able to upset Oklahoma City, 114-110. On Wednesday, the Lakers organization announced that Kobe Bryant would sit out for rest of season. Then on Thursday, the Lakers were unable to get two victories in a row against the Thunder.
3-10-14: The Lakers had a crazy four games this past week. On Friday, they made a franchise-record 19 shots from 3-point distance in their 126-122 win over the Sacramento Kings. Then on Monday, Kent Bazemore's lob to Wesley Johnson with 6.9 seconds remaining lifted the Lakers past the Portland Trail Blazers, 107-106. Although the wins stopped there, the excitement did not. The Lakers put up a lot of points on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, but suffered their first loss when scoring at least 125 points in regulation since 1990. Then on Thursday, the Lakers' 48-point loss was their worst in franchise history.
3-3-14: It is all about the high draft pick now for the Lakers. They will be looking to develop some players on their current roster, but like past years, the organization will try to find gems on the open market. As far as on the court, the Lakers stopped another losing streak on Friday. They defeated the visiting Boston Celtics, 101-92, to snap their franchise-worst eight-game home losing streak. Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks combined for 29 points off the bench in the victory. Bazemore then moved into the starting lineup, but his teammates could not continue their success. He averaged 18 points per game the rest of the week, but the Lakers dropped games to the Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies.
2-26-14: This Friday's matchup with Sacramento is the cheapest such game at Staples Center of the past four seasons. With Kobe Bryant injured and both teams struggling at the bottom of the Pacific Division, the luster of a Lakers/Kings matchup seems to have faded away this season. Cheapest ticket available is currently $17.
2-24-14: Kobe Bryant, who is out indefinitely with a fractured left knee, was voted to start for the Western Conference All-Star team, but had to sit out the exhibition contest. There were no other Lakers representatives during All-Star weekend. Los Angeles has had quite a few injuries this season, but the organization traded one of its remaining healthy players. The Lakers sent Steve Blake to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks. Mike D'Antoni's squad had a light week on the court. The only game was Dwight Howard's return to the Staples Center. Howard's 20 points and game-high 13 rebounds led the Rockets to the 134-108 victory on Wednesday.
2-18-14: Well, at least the Lakers are not the worst team in the NBA. They faced the second-worst squad in the league, the Philadelphia 76ers, on Friday and beat them by 14 points. Although Jordan Farmar missed that contest due to a leg injury, Steve Nash scored a season-high 19 points. Then, the team struggled the rest of the week, but there were some good individual performances. Both Chris Kaman and Kendall Marshall double-doubled in the Lakers' loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. On Tuesday, Kaman made it back-to-back double-double games for the first time this season as he went for 25 points and 14 rebounds. Kendall Marshall matched his career-high with 17 assists on Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Lakers encountered their franchise-record seventh straight home loss.
2-10-14: What an odd week it was for the Lakers. They closed out January on a six-game losing streak and finished the month with 12 losses for the first time in 50 years. The news did not get any better for the Lakers as star big man Pau Gasol was added to the team's lengthy injured list with a strained right groin. Los Angeles finally had an injured player return to the lineup as Steve Nash played 25 minutes and dished out nine assists in his first game since November. Although the Lakers lost that evening, they won the following night in Cleveland despite having an extremely depleted roster. The excitement was short-lived though because Nick Young is now out for the next two weeks with a knee injury.
2-4-14: This is just getting ugly for the Lakers. Since starting the season 13-13, Los Angeles has won just three of their last 20 contests. Their Grammy road trip started well, but they lost the last four games of it and have now given up 100 points in an NBA-worst 13 straight games. On Friday in Orlando, Pau Gasol and Kendall Marshall each registered double-doubles, but the Lakers fell by nine points. Then on Sunday, Jodie Meeks unleashed a 3-point barrage in New York, but the Lakers came up short again. The Lakers fought hard two days later to tie the Indiana Pacers at halftime, but a bad third quarter led Los Angeles to its fifth straight loss.
1-27-14: Pau Gasol, the Lakers' leading scorer and rebounder this past week, led the team to a 2-2 record as Los Angeles continues its lengthy Grammy road trip. They traveled from Phoenix all the way to the East Coast to take on the Boston Celtics and spoiled Rajon Rondo's season debut on Friday. Gasol scored a team-high 24 points and rookie Ryan Kelly chipped in with 20 points of his own. Then, Nick Young led the Lakers in scoring the next two games. He scored a game-high 29 points in their win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. On Monday, Young registered the Lakers' first 30-point game of the season. However, that performance was in a loss to the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers then dropped Thursday's contest in Miami.
1-20-14: Well, at least the Lakers are in position to get a good draft pick. Since beginning the season 13-13, they have lost 12 of their last 13 games. They have been extremely unlucky with regard to injuries this season. Los Angeles does not even have enough healthy players on the roster to suit up a second five-man team in practice. Although Mike D'Antoni hopes that Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash return within the next couple of weeks, the team signed Manny Harris from the NBA Developmental League to provide some depth with Nick Young being suspended one game for throwing a punch at Goran Dragic on Wednesday.
1-7-14: The Lakers have lost their last six games, which is by far their worst losing streak of the season. The team's situation has not gotten much better recently, as the injuries are piling up. Just as Pau Gasol returned from injury, Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry, Wes Johnson and Chris Kaman went down recently. The combined record of the teams that the Lakers faced this past week was 29-70, but they still lost to each of them. The Lakers lost to the Utah Jazz by two points, lost to the Philadelphia 76ers by seven and lost to the Milwaukee Bucks by 15. Now standing at 13-19 on the season, the Lakers do not look like they will make the playoffs.
12-30-13: The Lakers had a busy week, especially with it being around the holidays. They began it with an impressive double-digit victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Staples Center. Nick Young, who is taking advantage of his extra touches on the offensive end, scored a team-high 25 points that night. Xavier Henry and Pau Gasol also added 21 points each. However, after getting back to .500, the Lakers suffered three consecutive losses for the second time this season. Mike D'Antoni's squad went on a quick two-game road trip, but lost those games by a combined 46 points. They then returned home and put up a fight against the defending champion Miami Heat on Christmas Day, but lost by six points.
12-22-13: It has not been an easy season for the Lakers organization, which had to sign Kendall Marshall to get a ball handler on the roster. First, the Lakers lost all of their point guards from their opening day roster due to injuries, and then Kobe Bryant went down again. Bryant played just six games before fracturing his left knee, which will sideline him for six weeks. He did leave on a high note, as he and Pau Gasol led all scorers with 21 points in their road victory over the Grizzlies on Tuesday. The 96-92 win at Memphis ended a 2-2 road trip for the Lakers, which included a victory over the Charlotte Bobcats and losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks.
12-19-13: After returning from the achilles injury just a week ago, Kobe Bryant is once again on the shelf, this time for six weeks with a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau in his left knee.
12-13-13: Kobe Bryant is back, but all of a sudden, the Lakers are now having trouble winning games. Without Bryant, the team started the season 10-9, including Friday's victory over the Kings. The Lakers star then returned, and the team lost home games to the Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns. After faltering at the Staples Center, they have to play five of their next seven games on the road. In addition, the Lakers will be without Steve Blake, who will miss at least six weeks with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Bryant needs to get his game into gear sooner rather than later if the Lakers want to make a push for the postseason.
12-7-13: Kobe Bryant is soon to return to a Lakers team that has fought valiantly without him early in the 2013-14 season. Before losing on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles had won five of its previous six games. Pau Gasol has been his typical self, but Nick Young and Jodie Meeks have provided great scoring for the Lakers. It will be interesting to see how Mike D'Antoni's squad changes when Bryant is back to playing full minutes. In the Lakers' win in Detroit on Friday, Wesley Johnson led all scorers with 27 points on very efficient shooting. He and Xavier Henry have made strong contributions to this season's Lakers as well.
11-28-13: Lost in the hubbub of the gigantic Kobe Bryant contract extension news (2 year, $48.5M), was the continued surprising play of the Lakers sans Bryant. The Lakers have won four of their last five games, with essentially a different role player stepping up each night to support Pau Gasol. Kobe took part in a full-team practice last Tuesday but said after the game that he considered himself "weeks" away from returning rather than "days". Still, fans should be encouraged by the early play with the Lakers treading water at 8-8 and Kobe nearing return.
11-25-13: Kobe Bryant has signed a two-year extension with the Lakers worth $48.5 million dollars. Bryant will earn $23.5 million in 14-15 and $25 million in 15-16.
11-22-13: Despite getting just 135 minutes from Steve Nash and 0 minutes from Kobe Bryant through 12 games, the Lakers have somehow managed to claw their way to a 5-7 record. All despite playing the league's strongest strength of schedule so far. With Kobe Bryant miraculously ready to return to the court from his torn Achilles, the Lakers may be a team that is forced to be taken seriously. After five days rest, the Lakers take on the Golden State Warriors Friday night.
11-15-13: Steven Nash is taking an indefinite leave from the court in L.A., as nerve issues with his back are causing too much pain for him to play. The absence of Nash and Kobe Bryant (achilles) apparently aren't enough to drown the new-look Lakers, though, as they've held their own with a 4-6 mark through their first 10 games. Los Angeles isn't playing great defense and doesn't have a true go-to scorer, but they're getting by with team offense and just biding their time until they can get back to full health.
11-8-13: Kobe Bryant is still sidelined and Steven Nash is looking the part of a 40-year old on the court, yet the Lakers keep clawing their ways to wins. Oddly enough, the current roster in L.A. seems to perfectly fit head coach Mike D'Antoni's offensive system, and the Lakers find themselves at a solid 3-3 record through two weeks. Xavier Henry is just one of the many pleasant surprises on offense, as the no-name Lakers already own impressive wins over the Clippers, Hawks and Rockets on this young season.
11-1-13: Kobe Bryant battled through injuries to get through the 2012-13 regular season, but was physically unable to play in the playoffs. After another offseason surgery, he was absent from the active roster at the beginning of the season. In the meantime, newcomers Nick Young, Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry and Chris Kaman will have to step up to fill the void. Starting center Pau Gasol, who had a strong preseason, has to take on a lot of responsibility as well until Bryant can return to the lineup. It will be interesting to see how Mike D'Antoni adjusts his offensive scheme when his star is able to play at or close to 100 percent.
10-18-13: The Los Angeles Lakers are 2-4 through six preseason games. Xavier Henry was the leading scorer for the Lakers in their first two games, scoring 29 and 15 points, respectively. After defeating Golden State 104-95, the Lakers lost 97-88 against the Denver Nuggets the following game. They have lost the last three, but Pau Gasol was the leading scorer with 16 points in the Lakers' most recent 115-89 loss to the Warriors. The Lakers have two preseason games left:
10-17-13: The Lakers have waived their 2012 draft pick, Darius Johnson-Odom.
9-5-13: The Lakers have signed free agent forward Shawne Williams. The six-year vet has played with the Pacers, Knicks Nets, and Mavericks. Details of the contract were not disclosed.
8-23-13: After losing out on re-signing Dwight Howard, the Los Angeles Lakers are a team without a clear direction for the first time in almost two decades. With Steve Nash set to turn 40 at the start of the season, Pau Gasol showing serious signs of wear and tear, and Kobe Bryant recovering from a torn Achilles, there isn't much hope in the immediacy for Lakers fans. Luckily, going to Lakers games is about being seen! With Kobe Bryant expected back early in the season, fans will still get a chance to watch one of the all-time great Lakers perform at a high level. While they may not have the sex appeal Lakers fans are used to, the signings of Nick Young and Chris Kaman will help in a big way to stabilize the lineup.
The Los Angeles Lakers open their season at the Staples Center on Tuesday, October 29th against their in-town rivals, the Clippers. Dwight Howard will make his first return appearance with the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, February 19th and will return once more on Tuesday, April 8th. The Oklahoma City Thunder will come to town on Thursday, February 13th as well as on Sunday, March 9th. The Miami Heat will make their sole appearance against the Lakers on Christmas Day.
Key Home Games:
8-20-13: During the 2013-14 season, the Lakers will wear white short-sleeve jerseys for a handful of games across the season. They will also be wearing a black alternate jersey.

Well, heat and UV are worse on the other side than the one that yellowed, so it is very confusing. And that side has one of those SA clone wars ms Clones next to another preview Clone.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
My Cody is also fine, as are pretty much all of my post-2004 clones. The repacked AOTC clone that came with the Darth Vader carrying case in 2005 is a little more off-white than the several other figures from the mold I've bought since 2007. Arena Padmé's chest is quite yellow, but everything else - even in the gunship - is fine. When I unpacked my stuff from their boxes and baggies last year, my Jabba Glob was secreting something nasty, but it wasn't the "glob" itself. I know this stuff wasn't made to last forever, but most of the vintage line has seemed to hold up, so hopefully the modern line will be good for a while.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
I actually checked my Cody thoroughly a little while ago. Not a single spot of yellow anywhere on him. Just a teeny-tiny pinhead.
That's my jacket!
I buy a lot of used figures and rarely encounter yellowing with newer figures. The one thing to watch out for is figures that have been in the house of a smoker. I bought a large lot of SW stuff this year that looked good in the photo but once I got them they were really yellow. I mean there were some jedi that looked like a different race. They smelled very smokey too. These were mostly POTF/Ep. 1 figures.
"I have never seen a more sinister and depraved crowd. One would think the rest of the galaxy safe, what with every thug, debaucher, and scofflaw having gathered here."
―C-3PO, to R2-D2, commenting on the inhabitants of Jabba's palace
I'm not a smoker, so it'd definitely not be that with the figures I mentioned.
I once bought a box of MASK vehicles on ebay, and when it arrived, they reeked of cig smoke, had to leave them on the balcony for a week and even that didn't do it.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I noticed that my Elite Coruscant Clone Commander (the one from the Evolutions that was later put out as a single carded figure -- has the fancy pattern on his 'skirt') suffers the same problem as my old Cody: a yellowing torso.
It's just wierd. I don't smoke and I keep them in plastic bags, stored in plastic totes, at the top of my closet -- away from sunlight and with low humidity.
Alot of of my Commtech Stormtroopers are starting to fade to yellow. Not real bad, but when you put them next to the new Stormtroopers the color fade is pretty obvious. Anyone else seen this issue with the Commtech stormies?
I think some yellowing is normal. My commtech troopers are starting to yellow a bit too. Same as you, I can't really tell by just looking at them, but its noticeable when you compare it to a brand new trooper. I have a VOTC stormtrooper who looks a little off colored also.

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo Water & Light Director Johnny Timmons knows he has a lot to do before he can make believers out of the 2,500 new city residents.
He knows many of the residents in the 16 square miles of annexed area, formally approved by the state Supreme Court in August, have little faith the city will follow through with everything promised. While other city departments have worked to integrate city services into the annexed areas, Timmons' department has the biggest challenge – providing water and sanitation.
On Thursday, he signed loan papers for more than $21 million on behalf of the city. Now the city can begin creating the infrastructure necessary for providing residents in the outer areas of Tupelo like Indian Hills, Deer Park and Auburn in Ward 5 with the same services provided to residents closer to Main Street.
"They're citizens of Tupelo now," Timmons said. "And they should have these services."
Engineering and other preparations started about a month ago, before the city even received approval for the 1.75 percent loan due during a 20-year period. "We were so confident this time that we'd be approved for the loan, we had engineering work in process while this was still in court," Timmons said.
This annexation was protested by Lee County, Plantersville and Saltillo in court, and a November 2010 court ruling sided with Tupelo. The new residents will begin paying city taxes in 2014. The annexation is the second in Tupelo's history, with the first in 1989.
With a schedule for water and sewer work extending into mid-2015, Timmons said the sooner work could start, the sooner new residents would receive services.
Before installation of infrastructure can begin, engineering and any legal agreements for easements must be done.
A schedule on the city's website has construction beginning in annexed areas in the eastern part of the city in April and continuing westward until all services are complete.
"That schedule is going to be pretty close," he said.
With engineering work complete for the Auburn community for water and sewer and sewer engineering complete in Deer Park, projects could begin going to bid to select a contractor in a few months.
While residents wait for services, they must now comply with zoning regulations and ordinances that don't exist outside of the city. Pat Falkner, Tupelo city planner, said existing developments and property that would be in violation of Tupelo zoning ordinances are grandfathered in, unless changing them wouldn't be a hardship. An example of this includes prohibiting commercial equipment, such as 18-wheelers, from parking in residential areas.
In annexed areas along the "northern loop," part of the Major Thoroughfare Program expansion, commercial zoning will require businesses built to city codes and city inspectors signing off before they can open.
Tupelo police and fire departments are already providing services and building relationships with the newest city residents who are used to dealing with the Lee County Sheriff's Department and volunteer fire departments.
Police have responded to about 45 calls in newly annexed areas out of the 6,000 to 7,000 monthly calls citywide. These calls range from welfare checks to domestic disturbances to trees in the road. Tupelo Police Maj. Jackie Clayton said the annexation led to an additional patrolman and police car each shift.
While anything in public service is subject to change, Clayton said the transition has been fairly smooth.
"We weren't promising something we couldn't deliver," he said. "We said that we would provide police protection."
While the Tupelo Fire Department also has extended fire protection to the annexed areas, residents there continue to face an issue of double taxation duplication of services. Before entering the city limits, Lee County property owners pay 4 mills of tax for rural fire protection. That's $40 for every $100,000 of taxable value.
When property owners in the annexed areas begin paying Tupelo city taxes, they could face paying for fire services from both rural volunteer fire departments and the Tupelo Fire Department.
David Homan, who serves as Lee County's fire coordinator and chief of the Shannon Volunteer Fire Department, said no effort has been made for the city and volunteer fire departments to come to an agreement.
"Somebody needs to be talking to somebody," he said. "I'm not aware of any communications."
Signs of change are popping up in annexed areas, though. After working with Lee County E911, Tupelo officials have completed changing names of annexed streets to a new city addressing system.
Sid Russell, director of Tupelo Public Works, said new signs are up and the city continues to upgrade a few streets that require immediate attention, specifically Frog Meadow Lane and Prairie Cove in the western part of the city.
"Overall, streets in the annexed area are in pretty good condition," Russell said.

For 'current info' you might want to give the folks at the Red Ibis Fly shop in Corvallis a call. They seem to keep up on the rivers in the area. They also have a web site called "Riverwire.com"

Mckenzie R fishing?
I've got a couple of jobs next week down in the Albany to Corvallis area. Anyone doing any good on the Mckenzie or the S. fork of the Santiam River for Summer Runs?
A couple of weeks ago I hooked two nice fish on the Mckenzie just above the I-5 bridge at Armitage Park at 1st light. On the drive back to Albany did some exploring and took Hwy 266 I think and then cut over to Crabtree and Scio.
Crossed a large bridge and stopped for a look at the S. Santiam and fish were holding below. Didn't have time to fish run and no way to get to island under brige but if your in that area take a good look at that run it's a beauty. You will need a float tube to get to island as the back water under bridge is still and deep but only about 15 feet across to island. Run is long and starts above brige to a long way below. Land is heavly posted but the float tube directly under bridge will get you there.
Anyway have the rivers come up in last week? Will they come up so fishing is difficult? And have any of you Oregon guys been swinging a floating line yet. Want to fish a floating line soooo so bad.

Update: I moved to Raleigh North Carolina to go to grad school, and I got a job at SAS. I have a great roomate Emily and am loving life. School starts soon and then I can get back to math, this summer has been the best one I have ever had :)
I haven't written in a while as I have been very busy. In terms of school I am taking 22 credit hours so I am really loaded down.
In terms of statistics I have been working with SAS on Linux, SAS released a Linux version starting with 8.2 and while the results and basic functionality between that and the windows version are comparable the gui really needs some work.The set up is clumsy and the graphics are archaic. Enhanced editor is non existent, I hope with the version 9 release some of this will be cleared up.
In my own little world I moved out of my house in October and am now living back on campus.
In other stat news I am also working with moment generating functions and multivariate distributions. So far I have only brushed the surface so no code yet, but soon...I wish we had 40 hour days :).
I got a laptop for Christmas which has made my quality of life improve exponetally. I also got something I have wanted for years from Mark a GPS!! I can't wait to go geocaching! So although I am really busy, I am the happiest I have ever been :)
I think I am going to use Hart's approximation for several distributions, some of the formulas can achieve precision out to 20 decimal places, this is the best I have seen so far. I really want to try and stay away from any expansion derived approximations which associate the number of observations while still getting the precision I need.
Back to distributions. I took a crack at normal today and came up with the following options, I could use an asymptotic expansion, or a power series I found an interesting approximation by C Hastings, at least it was interesting until I tried it and it produced crap results. All and all I am in love with the handbook of mathematical functions, and things are going well. If anyone has had any luck with a fast precise algorithm pls. do share :)
In personal news (in case anyone cares) my bf just got back from a trip and bought me a stuffed penguin from FAO Schwarz it's kwel.
I am also going to NC for the Tech Circus it's nothing huge and technical but should be fun. Plus I will get to see some friends, mgalgoci, mark, timball etc.
* anna naps with penguin *
I am working on an implementation of the cell means model for single factor ANOVA. I think this will be more effective in that this model can be used again in regression and calculated much more quickly then a typical least squares computation.
Some analysis I did on test score data was presented today and for the most part it went well. The one complaint I had is that at the end of the presentation the facilitator stood up and reminded everyone that these are "just numbers" He went on to express how simple it is to pervert data into any result you desire. While the perversion aspect is certainly true, I have a hard time believing that the information will be taken seriously when presented as just numbers.
This is a commen theme, people rely heavily on the analysis I give them, with little or no thought to the theory that is behind it. I suppose some people go around ignoring multicollinearity and serial correlation but I am not one of them.
UGH...SAS on VMS is not pretty, sassy yes, pretty no. After playing with the settings for a while I managed to make it slightly more bearable. I sent an email about getting RIT to extend it's site license to include the UNIX version of SAS, this would make me a much happier data enthusiast :-) If they don't I will kick them in the shin until they do :-P
going on a wine tour tomorrow...yummy
Keeping in mind the speed advantage of storing variable data in rows I can see why the library concept is so appealing for SAS. Not only can you quickly refer to the dataset internally, but you can also control the storage and order of observations in order to minimize side and processing time.
Why is it so hot im my office????
hrm. Why does RIT consider it ok to disable analog without telling anyone ????? why why why ????
Yeah! I got ANOVA done today, just the basics SSTR SSE SST, MSE, F ......ect. Progress is being made :-) the only issue is mimicking the results produced by SAS, since I am strictly following distribution and summation functions I'm hoping they match. Grilling tonight :-)

Wind Shear
Directional wind shear is the change in wind direction with height. In the image (right), the view is looking north. The wind near the surface is blowing from the southeast to the northwest.
As the elevation increases the direction veers (changes direction in a clock-wise motion) becoming south, then southwest, and finally, west.
Speed shear is the change in wind speed with height. In the illustration below, the wind is increasing with height. This tends to create a rolling affect to the atmosphere and is believed to be a key component in the formation of mesocyclones which can lead to tornadoes.
Strong vertical shear is the combination of a veering directional shear and strong speed shear and is the condition that is most supportive of supercells.

For the college's "Introduction to Engineering Design" course, 10 students have built working prototypes of inventions of their own devising. They will be making presentations concerning their individual projects on Friday, Dec. 5, from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. in room 104 of VanderWerf Hall.
The opportunity for students to pursue individual projects from start to finish is uncommon at colleges and universities, according to course instructor Dr. John Krupczak, associate professor of engineering, because it is labor-intensive in terms of both supervision and facilities. Hope makes the approach a priority, he noted, because students benefit from experiencing the entire development and production cycle personally. The course and perspective, he said, provide valuable perspective as they move into a team-oriented course that follows and into careers where teamwork is the norm.
The 10 projects are:
beach toy inflator using environmentally-safe chemicals; senior Serge Badiane of Dakar, Senegal;
hand-cranked cooler/refrigerator; senior Dorian Bako of Tirana, Albania;
computer keyboard heater; senior Amanda DeYoung of Holland;
retractable dashboard computer; senior Kevin Dubois of Holland;
blowdryer/curling iron/appliance holder with retractable cord; junior Jennifer Folkert of Zeeland;
demonstrator for fluid mechanics principles; senior Eric Jongekryg of West Olive;
adjustable picture frame; senior Martha Luidens of Holland;
cell phone with working brethalyzer; senior Luke Olinyk of Holland;
water-cooled, silent computer; senior John Siehling of Zeeland;
bike-powered, bike-portable cooler; senior Brian Worrel of Muskegon.

connected on a shield
I know that the xbee module uses the pins 1, 10, 11 and 20.
...Nonetheless, my question is still not being answered. My mistake for not making it clearer. Basically, I get which pins of the module are being used. What i don't get is which pins on the side of the shield (i believe they are referred as "jumpers" - JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4), are being used by the module. The shield itself has holes next to each pin of the module. Do i need a wire to connect a pin of the module with a pin of a "jumper"? Or are the pins of the module directly connected with the pins of the "jumpers"?

Plans for 800 block of East Washington shared
Few show up for public meeting
MADISON, Wis - Fewer than 10 people signed up to speak at a public hearing on the development future of prime -- but vacant -- real estate near downtown Madison.
Three developers have submitted proposals for mixed-use buildings on the former Don Miller body shop site in the 800 block of East Washington Avenue.
The developers are Gebhardt of Madison, T. Wall Enterprises of Middleton, and C.D. Smith of Fond du Lac. All have proposed office or retail space, a grocery store, and at least 200 apartment units.
C.D. Smith's plan includes the most area for commercial space.
Gebhardt's plan, which includes the largest grocery store -- a Metcalfe's Market -- is also the tallest. T. Wall has submitted a plan for a much shorter structure, still with 288 residential units, according to company officials.
But three neighbors said they preferred a high-rise building with more units.
"You have an opportunity for height in an environment where it works," said Burt Stitt, who said he's lived downtown for 25 years. "You're looking at low-rise. I think this is an error."
Other neighbors said they had concerns about maintaining the Mifflin Street bike boulevard and whether the developers could follow through on their promise of affordable housing.
All three development teams attended Tuesday's hearing, although city alders on the 800 Block Redevelopment Committee didn't ask them to make presentations.
"We're going to propose a project that meets and exceeds a lot of the visions you're seeing here," said Kirk Keller, an architect representing T. Wall Enterprises.Plans for 800 block of East Washington shared
C.D. Smith's team answered questions about it being the only developer from outside the Madison area.
"No matter where we work, when we come into a community, we strive to work with local subcontractors and local suppliers," said Mike Krawchuk of CD Smith Construction.

I am really starting to think my life has a bit too much drama. My car got totaled (I'm out 1100 bucks) then my S.O. had to get surgery because one of her nasal passages has nearly grown shut. So right now, I am using her car since she is on mild pain killers. I reckon I will bum rides until I get a new car. My daughter has been sick twice now and several local area schools have been closed due to a flu epidemic ... sheesh. On the bright side, the insurance company gave a lot back, I am lucky I am out only 1100. My daughter while somewhat ill, has been doing quite well in school and her behavoir has incrementally been improving (probably as the weather gets better). Work is going good (if not a bit boring at times).
In the Open Source world, I have not been getting much done, for obvious reasons. Frankly, I have been busy taking care of my family (ironic that only a few weeks ago the situation was reversed). Right now I want to close out a simple utility extension PR and move onto something else ... I have spent almost 2 solid "spare time" months working on similar extensions and to put it mildly - I am going nuts. Although I enjoy taking on tasks that I am experienced enough for or smart enough to handle, repetive ones seem bothersome after awhile.

Nepotism is nothing new in Hollywood. From blazing talents like Liza Minnelli and Angelina Jolie, to reformed drama magnets Nicole Richie and Tori Spelling, the entertainment industry is a tangled, familial spiderweb of stars whose moms and dads are also in the business. In short, if you want to increase your chances of winning an Oscar, it helps if you are related to Blythe Danner. Or even Paul Sorvino (holla, Mira!)
But enough about Tori Spelling. There are new kids in town, on the rise too, whose family ties can't be ignored. Behold, our roundup of 10 well-connected young stars:
