umm...LA we have a problem.

So the Lakers drop two in a row for the first time this season and triple their losses in three days.  Cause for concern…yes.  The Laker bench is horrible….let me repeat…horrible.  How horrible?  How about being outscored 91-43 in the two losses.  So, averaging 17 points a game from the bench isn’t going to get it done.  I don’t care if Gasol comes back tomorrow, long term, there’s a problem.  Am I saying trade, trade, trade?  No, but someone needs to chew someone’s ass and fire these guys up.  Kobe’s hurt so things might get worse before they get better.  10 out of the next 11 at home should help…a little, but, until the bench can step up and play the Lakers are going to lose close games they might normally blow out.

This week I went 33-16 bringing the season total to 93-49.  Surprise wins?  Boston losing back to back Atlanta and Indiana, Denver blowing the doors off the Lakers, and Houston losing to the Queens…err, Kings.
