Nice game by Kobe and Gasol, the only weakness we have is down low defense, Bynum's return should take care of that.

So far, this has turned out much better than I anticipated.

Wow that is almost 71% winning percentage. How many Western elite teams do Lakers need to confront for the rest of the regular season?

out of all the teams we're competing with, we have one of the lighter schedules.. i got bored at work and did the math. i think we play teams that we are competing with (mavs, suns, spurs, jazz, rockets, warriors, nuggets, hornets) 11 times, 6 of which are on the road.

that's not counting the eastern conference teams. we've already played the elite eastern conference teans twice (cavs, pistons, celtics). so pretty much any game vs. the eastern conference "should" be easy for us.

if we can't trade luke, we should just cut him so Phil will have no way of playing him and ruining the game for us

Yeah, that's awesome. We can't let up against the Wolves. They're playing much better than the last time we played them.

But he also plays poor defense, so I'm guessing Gasol should have his way with him on the offense. McCants is also listed as day to day with a sprained ankle, leaving the Wolves with only two players scoring in double digits (The other being Ryan Gomes). Plus they're coming of a back to back. If the Lakers don't underestimate them and take the game too lightly because it's the last of this exhausting road trip I see absolutely no reason for this one being close.

But then again, that's what we've said for the Charlotte and Miami games also .

were winning these close games and although at face value it looks bad on us, the way i see it these close games are only preparing us for the close games we'll probably have in the playoffs. This young team is learning how to pull out win through adversity and the experience is gonna be very valuable later on.
