The Los Angeles Lakers are officially in big trouble.
Literally.
Sitting eleventh in the Western Conference and three games behind the eighth-seeded Portland Trail Blazers, the Lakers received news that their primary bigs in Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill have all suffered injuries, which will cause them to miss an unknown number of games for the foreseeable future (more on that below).
This is absolutely the last thing this team needed, given its continued struggles on both ends of the floor. Steve Nash was supposed to be the savior of all things when he returned from a leg fracture, but the Lakers are just 3-4 since his return.
On top of that, a report came out stating that Howard and Bryant nearly came to blows after a loss on New Year’s Day, putting that much more drama around a team that could certainly do without outside distractions

Today at Sheridan Hoops, we’re mourning longtime college basketball coach Rick Majerus. For a look at that, check out today’s Tweet of the Day from former Marquette player Steve Novak, which also features some words on Majerus from Gene Wojciechowski and Chris Sheridan.
We’ve also got a new set of MVP rankings up, and some bad news for Knicks fans as Raymond Felton has an injured thumb.
Now, here’s the latest NBA news:
- Frank Isola of the New York Daily News starts his recap of today’s Knicks-Suns game with this awesome bit: “Latrell Sprewell once famously said after a particularly poor performance on a Sunday afternoon, “I’m not a morning person.” The game, it should be noted, began at noon and not 7 a.m. Maybe Rasheed Wallace isn’t a morning person either because the 38-year-old lasted only 85 seconds before being ejected in the Knicks 106-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Wallace received two technical fouls, one for arguing a foul call and the other for screaming his signature phrase “Ball Don’t Lie” when Goran Dragic missed the free throw. Wallace extended his NBA record of technical fouls to 317, including four with the Knicks. His Sunday was over late in the first quarter and just in time for the 1 p.m. NFL games.”

You can vote for Omri Casspi on the NBA All-Star ballot. But you have to write in – or text in – Damian Lillard. 
The NBA released its ballot for the 2013 All-Star Game on Tuesday. Voting began this afternoon.
As it announced earlier, the center position no longer exists on the ballot. There are still 60 players from each conference, but instead of 24 guards, 24 forwards and 12 centers, there are 24 guards and 36 frontcourt players.
However, by our count there are 12 legitimate centers in the Eastern Conference frontcourt section: Andrew Bynum, Tyson Chandler, Samuel Dalembert, Spencer Hawes, Roy Hibbert, Al Horford, Brook Lopez, Greg Monroe, Nene, Joakim Noah, Emeka Okafor and Anderson Varejao.
