Kobe-less Lakers a fantasy basketball gold mine 
| Quote: | The 2016-17 Lakers are a case study. An object lesson. A laudatory tale. They are what happens when you:
1. Forget about next year's lottery-protected pick and play to win, but in a low-expectations, youth-infused atmosphere.
2. Subtract a retiring superstar (and his 32.2 percent usage rate) and divvy up his touches amongst your young, promising core.
3. Bring in Luke Walton to turn up the pace. |

We are an up & down team at this point, it's a roller coaster ride.
May as well pull up a chair, get some popcorn & enjoy the ride. |

Lakers: Early Season Progress Reports
| Quote: | Just a handful of games into the season, we’re handing out early progress reports for all 15 players on the Lakers’ roster.
For many students across the country, semester grades are just around the corner. Months of staying up late and/or sleeping in and busting out a four-page essay in less than an hour will finally have purpose.
We felt the players on the Lakers also deserved a grade of some sort around this time. Is it still early in the season? Yes, but many of these players upward or downwards trends aren’t likely to change any time soon. |

Spectrum SportsNet reloads with talent for a new era of Lakers basketball
Spectrum SportsNet added two very familiar faces to their team that are making a big impact.
| Quote: | Other than “phenomenal,” the word “competition” might be Luke Walton’s favorite phrase to utter with the Los Angeles Lakers so far this season. The surprising Lakers’ start has cooled a bit recently, but the team’s new head coach has spoken at length all year about how the open competition for minutes and roles has made them better.
Spectrum SportsNet is in quite literally the opposite situation. The regional sports network is the only one carrying Lakers games, and that lack of competition could have allowed them to rest on their laurels. Instead, they’ve done the exact opposite.
One flip through NBA League Pass is enough to know that not only does Spectrum SportsNet blow away their RSN competition in terms of production value, they’re on par with any national broadcast. Despite this, at the end of last year’s 17-win Lakers’ campaign, Spectrum Senior Coordinating Producer of Studio and Remote Programming AJ Ponsiglione had the same thought on his mind as the Lakers front office surely did: how do we get better?
The conclusion he came to was to up the network’s ability to not only cover, but break news. |
