Whats Wrong With The Lakers:

What’s happened to the Los Angeles Lakers? Fans are
panicking because they’ve lost three consecutive games twice this season.
They were blown out by 19 points by the Memphis Grizzlies. They just seem to
not care about playing basketball. Pau Gasol started the season on fire, now
he’s nowhere to be found during games. Opponents come into the Staples
Center and throttle the Lakers. It’s something unthinkable before this
season. The team also played poorly in showdown games against the San
Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat.
Kobe Bryant is the consummate professional. He knows when his team is
under-performing. He can’t win games by himself. The failure appears when
the rest of the Lakers watch Bryant take too many shots, they lose games.
Matt Barnes is outplaying Ron Artest. Head coach Phil Jackson should bench
Artest for Barnes, but Artest is too important on the defense end to
alienate him even more. Jackson will allow each player to figure out their
slumps. It’s what worked in the past when his teams would falter.
The Lakers need to start playing with more pride. They’re the two-time
defending NBA champion. There’s a lot of basketball to be played until June.
The Spurs are the class of the NBA right now. The Dallas Mavericks are also
a dangerous team for the Lakers in the playoffs. Bryant needs to rally the
team and start playing like the champions. Teams start to establish
dominance at this point in the season. If the Lakers don’t turn it around
soon, they could surrender home court advantage in the playoffs to the
Spurs. Veterans need to start playing better and or the Lakers will miss out
on their shot at a threepete.
