Game 4: San Antonio Spurs 103 - Los Angeles Lakers 82
Apr 28 - Apr 28 - Los Angeles. Thinking that is was possible to outrun the rivals with Nash, Bryant, World Peace, Gasol and Howard sounded like a crazy idea from day one, and the first year of the D'Antoni's experiment ended in a way that didn't surprise anybody. With a 103-82 win, the Spurs swept the Lakers in the first round of the 2013 Playoffs.
Due to the injuries of Nash, Blake, Meeks and World Peace, the Lakers started this game with Morris, Goudelock and Clark, committed 8 turnovers in the first quarter and the rest of the night was just an anecdote. Even the ejection of Dwight Howard in the third quarter didn't matter, there was no chance the Lakers could win this game or revert the mess the Lakers management created by bringing D'Antoni.
By the end there were just empty seats and the ghost of Phil Jackson floating in the air of the Staples Center. Kobe Bryant with his crutches was also there, in the second row behind the bench trying to support his teammates.
The Spurs never trailed and led by as many as 25 points while just one of their players stayed in the floor more than 30 minutes.
In what could have been his final game as a Laker, Dwight Howard had just 7 points, attempted 2 field goals and was ejected two minutes into the second half after receiving his second technical foul for arguing with the referees. He exchanged words with Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak in his way to the locker room.
Pau Gasol, the Lakers most consistent player during this offseason and the one who suffered the most with the implementation of D'Antoni's system, got a standing ovation by the fans that were still in the stadium when he left the game with 3:08 to play.. Lakers - Spurs Game 4 |

Lakers vs. Houston Rockets / W 99-95 OT / Streak: won 5
Apr 17: The Lakers didn't even have to play to know they would be in the 2013 Playoffs, but they did it, defeated Houston at home 99-95 in overtime and climbed to the 7th spot in the West. Utah's loss had already secured L.A. at least the 8th place but with this victory the Lakers avoid going against the best team in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not that facing San Antonio without Kobe Bryant will be easy but at least they defeated the Spurs in their last meeting. Pau Gasol, now definitely out of D'Antoni's original idea for him and moved closer to the basket is playing his best basketball of the season and finished a big triple-double: 17 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists. Dwight Howard is also showing his best version since he arrived injured to L.A. and had 16 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks while Steve Blake who is playing a lot of minutes in the absence of Kobe and Steve Nash is stepping up to the challenge and had a team high 24 points and 7 assists. / Lakers 2012-2013 Season... Oct 16: The Lakers will face the 2012-2013 NBA season with Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard as their starters.
Antawn Jamison, Steve Blake and Jordan hill will be the first bench players on the floor when the starters need rest... more... |

Bad News: |
Apr 13, 2013: It was confirmed that Kobe completely tore his left Achilles tendon late in the Lakers victory over Golden State. It is an injury that ends his 2013 season with two games left to play and the Lakers fighting for the final playoff spot.
Less than 24 hs later he had surgery and will need from 6 to 9 months to recover from this serious injury, the worst in his 17-year career. The team expects him to play sometime next season and maybe even --according to GM Mitch Kupchak-- be ready for the 2013-14 season opener. |
The New Coach |
 Lakers new coach: Mike D'Antoni
Once again the Lakers front office surprised everybody with their coach selection. They offered the job to Phil Jackson, everybody's candidate and the best coach in NBA history, but Jackson asked for a couple of days to make up his mind and it became the perfect excuse for them to go for the coach they really wanted: Mike D'Antoni. The next day they signed D'Antoni to a three-year deal for $12 million. The team holds an option for a fourth year.
The only question that arise with D'Antoni's arrival is: will this be the new Showtime era or will this running offense just worn down Nash, Kobe, Metta and Pau? One thing is sure, it will be entertaining and Kobe will shoot the lights out. |

News and rumors:Apr 26: Will Phil Jackson be the Lakers coach in 2013-14? Rumors are flying everywhere. Mike D'Antoni's experiment is not working, the Lakers are about to be kicked out of the Playoffs by the Spurs and Phil Jackson wants to coach again. And to make things worse for L.A.'s current coach, his predecessor Mike Brown is back with the Cavaliers so the Lakers don't have to pay him all the money they owe him. But it's not so easy... Firing D'Antoni and hiring Jackson back would be a big, big hit to Jim Buss' ego who chose D'Antoni and left Jackson waiting for an answer not so long ago... |
