^^I agree. I mean we blew out New Orleans at their place with Kwame still in the line-up (okay we had Bynum), no reason to think we won't put up a decent fight with Gasol now. West is also day to day.
The same goes for Houston, no Ming, no Landry, should be a good matchup (btw, rescheduled to 3:30 PM on ABC, this Sunday).
The only game I really fear is Utah. We already got crushed there once and Delta Center sure seems like a freaking fort these months. I don't mind if we lose there, I just wish the team stays competitive.
You guys really need to look at the positives. I'm happy to share some of it because I try to have plenty
. So how about this => all of our last 5 losses have been unfortunate and we were on the verge of winning (okay, lets say minus Portland). How does that sound... Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, Sacramento were all unfortunate losses, that came down to the wire and could've gone either way. Then despite the major blow to the roster they managed to not get blown out but suffered tolerable losses against Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio. All in all, think of what I said this way; the Lakers have not lost a "big" game since December the 30th against Boston (big meaning that it was a real eye opener in terms of where the Lakers stand in this league). Since the 1st of January their record is 27-8 (77%). That means that this team has survived a major blow when losing two vital pieces, a horrible schedule and one of the leagues longest road trips by winning over 3 quarters of their games. I would say that pessimism is not the way to go here... the recent performances are a bad stretch of games; maybe they've gotten tired of the "lowly" competition and need a contenter to face against to bring out their A games. I don't know, but I'm sure they can get through it.
Either way, I'm looking forward to this road trip. I know that the guys won't disappoint. And when it's done, Bynum will be 10 days closer to his return.
Heads up. Go Lakers!
peace
p.s.: if we by some chance go 0-4 remember that every other top team in the WC has a lot more than just 4 tough games ahead.
