Land O'Lakers: Is L.A. what's best for Dwight Howard?...
It's still early in the process, but the Dwight Howard News Machine is already heating up. First,Ken Berger of CBS Sports reports the Lakers are hardly a lock to re-sign Howard, and that Houston is an intriguing (Berger's characterization of his source's information) possibility. Meanwhile, ESPNLA's Dave McMenamin reportsHoward expressed frustration regarding Mike D'Antoni at his exit interview meeting with GM Mitch Kupchak, saying D'Antoni didn't take seriously Howard's attempts at...

Land O'Lakers: Questions surrounding Dwight Howard, poor...
Similar to how this Lakers offseason will be dominated by Dwight Howard chatter, so is the new podcast. Among the talking points: Throughout this season, we've consistently stated the opinion Howard will ultimately re-sign with the Lakers. Onerumor-swirled month removed from his exit interview, has anything shifted? What criteria would swing Howard's decision one way or the other? While Howard struggles to make up his mind are a running punchline, it doesn't change the fact that, in my...

Land O'Lakers: Coaching candidates and risk taking,...
What's more entertaining than an offseason podcast from the Kamenetzky Brothers? The second round of the playoffs, which have beenawesome so far!But besides that, dare I say, "nothing." And with that truth now established, here is a list of talking points for the newest show: How toput the Bernie Bickerstaff era in perspective? We look back at "Weekend at Bernie's," along with the less successful tenure for another member of the coaching staff. Mike D'Antoni's job appears safe, but if the...

Land O'Lakers: Summer choices for the Lakers, Kobe...
The Lakers' season has officially ended, but as always, the show must go on for the Kamenetzky Brothers. Plenty to discuss with the offseason officially underway. Among the talking points: Before breaking down what lies ahead for the Lakers, we pay tribute tothe dancing machine that is Andrew Bynum. As always, dude remains completely indifferent towards public perception. During his exit interview Tuesday, Kobe Bryant emphatically stated hispreference that this year's core four return,...

Land O'Lakers: Lakers injuries pile up, the future for...
How bad have things become for L.A.? They're now down 0-2 to the Spurs afterWednesday's 102-91 Game 2 loss in San Antonio, and compared tothe aftermath, that's the good news. Lakers injuries are piling up like cars on the 110 during rush hour. Thursday, they announced an in-game hamstring pull suffered by Steve Blake will leave him indefinitely sidelined. Additionally, Steve Nash, after re-aggravating his recent hamstring problem is doubtful for Friday's Game 3. Ditto Jodie Meeks, whose Game...

Land O'Lakers Playoff Preview: Lakers vs. Spurs, other...
After 82 games' worth of drama -- and if we're being honest with ourselves, a fair amount of doubt -- the Lakers are officially in the playoffs. And as a seven-seed no less, pitting them against a banged up, slumping San Antonio Spurs rather than an Oklahoma City Thunder squad easily capable of a sweep. Finally, this snake-bitten squad catches something of a break! Who'da thunk it? Not to say everything is a second helping of peaches and cream, of course. Kobe Bryant is still out. Steve...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Kobe Bryant Achilles Edition
Assuming you haven't been living under a rock -- a rock without wi-fi, radio, or any sort of contact with other living creatures -- you know the Lakers lost Kobe Bryant Friday to a torn left Achilles tendon not just for the remainder of this season, but potentially a chunk of next year, as well.The significance is difficult to overstate. The impact of Kobe's injury touches every aspect of Lakers basketball, from getting into and performing well in the playoffs to coaching to roster...

Land O'Lakers: Impressive Kobe Bryant, Unimpressive...
It's a tight race, but for the time being, the purple and gold are not only alive for a playoff spot, but control their own destiny. So what's on the forefront for the Lakers as they try to catch fire at the right time? Just one of many topics in the newest edition of the Kamenetzky Brothers Land O'Lakers Podcast. Among the high points: If your glass is half full, you appreciate the Lakers won their last two games against New Orleans Tuesday and in Portland Wednesday, taking both ends of a...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Kobe Bryant plays big minutes,...
All season long, Andy and I have been accused by many Lakers fans of being too negative. (Of course, we're also accused by some of not being negative enough, but I digress...) Well, I was ready to play devil's advocate, step to the mic, accentuate the positive and make a case for the Lakers as a genuinely viable postseason squad. I would talk about a gritty win over a very good Memphis team, Dwight Howard's improving health, Pau Gasol's rock solid production over his last five games, and a...

Land O'Lakers: Big win vs. Dallas, Kobe Bryant does the...
And down the stretch they come! The Lakers picked up a big win Tuesday night against the Mavericks at Staples, effectively ending any realistic opportunity for Mark Cuban's bunch to make the playoffs. Encouraging signs were abundant, including a triple double from Kobe Bryant, strong performances from Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, and the return, even if only for a night, of Earlsanity! Still, it wasn't the evening's most significant development, as we note in the newest Kamenetzky Brothers...

Podcast: Metta World Peace out (sorry), Lakers...
NOTE:Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes here, find us onTuneIn.com here. The Lakers have dropped four of five following Thursday's 113-103 loss in Milwaukee. Their hold on the eighth seed in the Western Conference is thin, as is -- in a major change of pace --the team's health. It's a tough moment in a tough season for the purple and gold. But while adversity might keep the Lakers from the playoffs, it can't keep us from recording the newest edition of the Land O'Lakers Podcast. Among the...

Podcast: Kobe Bryant and postgame rhetoric, Untimely...
Those happy days when it looked like the Lakers might actually climb up the Western Conference playoff ladder and even (gasp!) make a little noise come the postseason are ... well, if they're not gone, they are, in the parlance of seldom acknowledged Pink Floyd albums, Obscured By Clouds. Now, having lost three straight including Monday's not-nearly-as-close-as-the-final-score-indicates game against the Warriors in Oakland, the Lakers have lost touch with Golden State and Houston, and are...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Yell at Kobe Bryant, Mamba...
The Lakers will apparently enter the stretch run of the regular season with, at long last, all hands on deck. Will it be enough to spark a deep playoff run? Just one of the topics discussed in the new show. Among the high points: Pau Gasol is expected to play Friday against the Wizards. In the short run, how many minutes his health, conditioning and pain tolerance allow him to play? In the long run, will he and Dwight Howard mesh, specifically on the defensive end? And in the mean-spirited...

Land O'Lakers: Mike D'Antoni's rotations, Dwight...
The Lakers have three days between games following Monday's fatigue-laden smackdown in the desert at the hands of Phoenix. Three days to think about what must change going forward, but even better, three days to enjoy the newest Kamenetzky Brothers Land O'Lakers Podcast! Here's your rundown... Again down Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, the Lakers rolled with seven players both Sunday at home against the Kings, then again in Phoenix. Mike D'Antoni said before game his plan was, knowing the team...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Kobe Bryant's revenge, Pau...
As if Friday's massive 99-93 road win over the Pacers -- secured largely without the services of a hobbled Kobe Bryant and with Dwight Howard often in foul trouble -- wasn't enough to put everyone's weekend in a festive mood, guess what else you have to celebrate? That's right! Ear candy!!! On the heels of whatMetta World Peace quite reasonably deemed "the biggest win of the season so far," treat yourself to some festive Lakers chatter. Below is a list of talking points. While it remains to...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Lakers Rising, Dwight returns to...
It’s taken over six months to say without relying on forced optimism, but things are actually looking kinda good for the Lakers. After Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, they’re two games above .500 for the first time this season, and half a game ahead of a reeling Utah Jazz squad for the Western Conference’s eighth playoff seed. Not to say every issue’s been indisputably solved, but with the rest of March relatively low on difficult games, it does feel like the wind is at the Lakers’...

Land O'Lakers Podcast: Kobe Bryant dominates, Lakers...
The Lakers are still stringing together badly needed victories, and while dominant isn't exactly the right word to describe how they're doing it, it's exactly the right word to describe Kobe Bryant. Sunday night, there was the Dunk Heard 'Round the World night over Atlanta's Josh Smith, which nearly brought down the Staples Center and Twitter at the same time, followed by an even more impressive drive-and-finish over Smith to win the game with under 10 seconds to play. But Bryant's 34...

K-Brothers return, Lakers on a roll (?), the playoffs,...
The Land O'Lakers podcast has returned! Pardon our dust -- we're still learning our way around the whole self-production thing -- but we're again up and running, and in this episode, after a brief illustration of our newfound editorial liberties, address the following: The Lakers are 11-5 since the big team meeting in Memphis. But how well are they actually playing? Does the positive record mean they have, to use a favorite expression of Mike D'Antoni, turned a corner? For real, this time?...
