What the Kings did to the Lakers two nights ago. I know the Lakers aren't the best right now, but they are still Kobe, Gasol, and Howard.
#1 I wouldn't use this Lakers team as a measuring stick quite yet. They have been dealing with sooooo much crap.
#2 The Lakers can and will go into any arena and pull off an upset. Just watch. In a month or two they will go into a "contender's" arena and pull off a big win. The Jazz? Not so much. If anything, it's the opposite. Teams welcome us into their arenas. It doesn't matter whether it's the Spurs, Blazers, Queens, or Raptors. When they see the Lakers they feel fear when they see us they feel opportunity.
If we don't make changes and/or drastically improve then we're set for another 4 game *** kicking by the Spurs (if we even make the playoffs). I've seen that movie before. No thanks.
