And Warren!

In previous post I have seen alot of people stating that other teams(ORL, Denver, CLE, MAVS, BOS) dont feel like they could beat LA in 7 games. LA’s combined record against those top tier teams is 5-8. Thats hardly a vote of confidence for LA, that only gives those teams more confidence that they can hang with the big dogs night in and night out.

To say that a team has to be 100% percent sure that they can beat LA, is the equivalent to saying LA is 100% sure they will beat the teams listed above. I would have to say that teams are not afriad of LA in its current state, and more so are the ones doing the bullying around the league at this point of the season.

Lets hope for a consistent and focused effort by LA to pick itself off the mat. Finally realizing that the only thing standing in the way of greatness is themselves

We want to see a convincing win!

Here’s to hoping that our first winning streak of 5 games or more (since December!) starts tonight. If we can manage to put together a nice winning streak between tonight and that deadly SA-through-ATL road trip at the end of the month – maybe, just maybe – we can go into April firing on all cylinders and keep a white-hot Dallas (and Denver) at bay. We can only hope the ‘player-only’ meetings are over, the Pau/Charles Oakley intervention actually worked and a guard not named Kobe can find his shot…

Here’s to hoping the Lakers recover the definition of ‘execution’ and the re-learn the meaning of ‘effort’ before it’s too late.

Shannon would be fine at point guard because Kobe would be the de-facto point guard, anyway. Shannon would only be responsible for guarding opposing 1’s.

too late to burn people though but i think sasha better be in the game when he does actually come back in the game. We simply can not afford brick after brick shooting.

and yes, kobe is brilliant. he may be part of the problem but he IS brilliant. i’d take that man, cold as he is, any game than some pretender any playoff game of the year.

I see it as 1. Fish 2a Vujacic 2b Brown 4. Farmar.
