The Lakers are a below .500 team.
Wait. What?!?
If that statement was made or written at the beginning of the season I don't think one person would even think that would be believable. I will say it again then.
The Lakers area a below .500 team.
Wow. What happened? They created a 'super' team in the EAST and that turned out pretty well, a-la NBA Champions. 'Super' teams have been such a common place in the NBA that they're going to institute a new tax starting the 2013-2014 season that will make it almost implausible to band another one together unless your're willing to pay out the ying-yang. So before those years begin, we're going to put a team together now and make a legit run to be champs today.
Sound good right? Sounds as good as having Kobe (the black mamba) Bryant, Steve Nash, MWP, Pau Gasol, and Dwight Howard as your starting line up.
No more questions but I will put out an old tell tale cliche. "Just because you bought all the best tools, doesn't make you a carpenter." "Just because you bought all the best studio recording equipment, doesn't make you JayZ/Kanye West" & "Just because you have all the best players doesn't make you champs,...yet"
Lakers are looking for their mojo or muse (or Nash) to getting the ball rolling but the numbers are killing them. Kobe's efficiency has actually went up this year but the supporting cast, not so much. You're not going to win any titles being the worst FT shooting team in the league and a horrendous road record to date(2-5).
I can throw numbers at you 'til the cows come home but that'll just be rehash from articles I've read on the web and I can save those for the next LINK PARADE. Keeping it short and sweet all I have to say to Lakers fans is to 'stick with it'. We got all the ingredients, all we need is the cake boss to put this bitch together (and a bench would help as well).
P.S. - No more losses to Orlando please. That's just plain embarrassing.
