I've decided it's very difficult for me t effectively blog about the Lakers because of how emotionally invested I am in them. They're my team, so I'm clouded in a lot of ways, but one thing I'm not clouded on is how atrocious the Lakers are on defense.
How do you let Kevin Martin torch you for 30 points? It's unreal. The Rockets also had numerous easy layups, especially down the stretch.
Tonight's game would not have gone to overtime if the Lakers would've just played good defense. The curses of the Celtics game carried over into this game, but at least Kobe was looking for his teammates tonight. He had 11 assists on the game.
There are many things for the Lakers to still fix as we approach All-Star Weekend. The San Antonio Spurs are coming to Staples Center, so this is the Lakers' chance to get off the snide against the elite teams in the NBA. They haven't beaten one yet.
