Loss to Bobcats Reveals a Few Warts

Although the Lakers are off to a good start, their loss to the Bobcats the other night has shown that they do have a few things to get corrected before the calendar turns towards the playoffs.  Among them include the imbalanced scoring that was detailed in our previous post, but also the fact that a few role players need to step up their games.

In particular, the LA Times wrote a feature that singled out Kwame Brown, who struggled during overtime of the game in Charlotte.  Others were subtely called out, including PG Smush Parker, but it appears that Coach Phil Jackson is playing one of his legendary mind games with Brown in this piece.

Regardless, the Lakers will be there in the end, and Lakers tickets are still more than worth the effort to obtain.  However, the dynamic and chemistry on the team is also always worth fans’ attention.
