A new and improved defensive profile for the Lakers?

Many critics are saying that the Los Angeles Lakers are already making huge strides defensively this season compared to the past few, and - although it’s still very early - many are saying that this Lakers team may be one of the most consistent as far as making it happen out on the floor. NBA superstar Kobe Bryant’s defense has seemingly improved greatly from last season, and with help from Luke Walton and his excellent recovery speed, the duo are helping lead the rest of the team and convince them that defense really does need to be played, according to an article published Nov. 5 at ClubLakers.com.

But most fans and analysts still know that the Lakers, although showing great potential for a successful season, still need to focus in on a few areas of improvement, including stepping up that same dedication to defense that the team showed during the last two games but that wanned greatly in this week’s loss to the Hornets. The true test will come when the Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight, Friday, Nov. 9 and when they travel next week to face off against Philadelphia and a few other big rivals in the weeks to come.
