The outline hasn’t really differed much in their past seven meetings, the four from last year’s Western Conference Finals and the three chances for revenge that the Lakers couldn’t grab. Generally, the game has been close, the Nuggets will then get into their late-game offense, and the game won’t be close anymore. Thursday, the problem-solving phase of the Lakers’ preparation began, the late-game struggles against Denver obviously a piece of that planning. “Well, we just gotta be better all...
NEW ORLEANS >> LeBron James closed out his 21st NBA regular season looking invigorated, formidable on both ends of the court and ready to produce in the postseason.
The Lakers' history against the Nuggets has no bearing on their first-round playoff matchup, LeBron James said Thursday.
Everyone has an opinion about the end of The Sopranos. Did Tony live, did he die, or did the cable go out? These questions have lingered over the last two decades since the show’s end, with none other than series creator David Chase offering a definitive answer to the question. But—and this is a big but—in 2010, while the New York Knicks were courting then-free agent LeBron James, James Gandolfini and Edie Falco reprised their roles for a one-time-only reunion shot in James Gandolfini’s actual...

The Los Angeles Lakers are in full preparation mode for their first round
As annoying as the manner in which they did it was, the Lakers walked out of Memphis and Friday night with both a win and the No. 8 seed, a night of perfect results. The Grizzlies, expected, put up a tough fight.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Denver Nuggets on Monday, and superstar LeBron James thinks the replay centre didn't do his team any favours.
Here are five takeaways from the Lakers’ 114-103 loss in Game 1 of their first-round playoff matchup with the Denver Nuggets. One of the simplest ways the Lakers could turn around their fate from their multiseason struggles with the Nuggets would be for LeBron James and Anthony Davis, together, to outplay Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Saturday in Game 1, the Lakers’ stars combined for 59 points on 56.4% shooting from the field while grabbing 20 rebounds and dishing out 13 assists. Jokic and...
