Walton has played only 24 games this season, mainly because of recurring problems with a pinched nerve in his back.</p> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p><a href="">http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/09/sports/la-sp-0310-lakers-fyi-20100310</a> <br />Sounds like he may be back, soon. Good news for us, as I'm sure I don't need to emphasize to you guys the positive impact Luke has on our offense with his passing and ball IQ. His defense against larger SFs is passable, too.</p></div> http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2010/3/11/1367712/luke-walton-has-started-running Saurav A.

If Lamar Odom, the mellow calming presence in the locker room, is feeling this intense, the team as a whole is serious. The problem, however, is not just in terms of heart. The players need to execute, to show results. Pau's been talking for weeks, it still hasn't gotten him anywhere. Regardless, this is a good development.</p></div> http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2010/3/10/1367648/lamar-odom-on-the-lakers-aura Saurav A.

Then, after watching a few times, I have to say, I agree, Kobe changes his pivot foot before putting the ball down on the floor. I also think there's no way a ref catches that in real time, and even if they do, they can't be sure enough to call it then, either.</p></div> http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2010/3/10/1367616/kobe-game-winner-vs-raptors Gil Meriken 2010-03-10T16:39:46Z 2010-03-10T16:39:46Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.lakersnation.com/roland-lazenby-from-pointing-west-to-catching-the-buss/2010/03/09/">Roland Lazenby: From Pointing West to Catching the&nbsp;Buss</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>LakersNation.com interviews Roland Lazenby, and he discusses his book about Jerry West, the controversy surrounding his "LeBron a Laker?" article, Phil Jackson, and the future of the Lakers.</p> <p>Click the title to read.</p></div> http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2010/3/10/1366218/roland-lazenby-from-pointing-west wondahbap 2010-03-10T07:14:18Z 2010-03-10T07:14:18Z <object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DI77yMTsPR8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" /></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DI77yMTsPR8&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="340" width="560"></embed></object> <div class="source source-img"><p>Kobe Gamewinner vs&nbsp;Raptors</p></div> http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2010/3/9/1365790/this-kobe-guy-is-good shaqfor3 2010-03-09T05:49:06Z 2010-03-09T05:49:06Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/The-Lakers-are-where-they-ve-been-all-season;_ylt=Ar9Ftcwe1CtsVS4vV2KVbtC8vLYF?urn=nba,226619">A unique take on the state of this Laker&nbsp;team</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>Yahoo Sports' Ball Don't Lie blogger Kelly Dwyer presents a refreshing and valid view point into the Lakers' current play.
