Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers Championship Celebration By. mstickmanp

Today's post is about the Los Angeles Lakers. This season they are 43-19. And they are also locked in for the playoffs. Now this year more than ever, they have had to depend on Kobe. He has been their opener and their closer. Gasol, Fisher, Bynum, and Odum have not helped out as much as expected and needed. They can only win off of Kobe for so long then they'll start to deminish. And by they I mean Kobe. The other starters need to step up and play their roll and give their talents to benifit the team. The season is coming to an end and that means playoffs. Of coarse they are in but they wont last if they still only score with Kobe. Fisher needs to sink more three's, Gasol needs to dominate in the paint and not be afraid of the little jumper, Bynum needs to get those easy dunks and lay- ins, and Odum needs to drain those jumpers and take a three once in a while. They used to have all their talents working together and flowing at one time, but now they have fallen apart and become a worse team than they ever expected. Basically, they need to rest Kobe and the others need to step up and do their job efficiently. If they do that soon then they'll be a real good contender in the West. And even a potential threat to make the finals.
