Hey Everybody! I know I'm sorry it's been a while in fact it has been over a week. I'm sorry I've been a little busy and I've had some internet issues, apparently if you don't pay them they cut you off! Who knew?
Unfortunately my blogging has been about as good as the Lakers recently. A five game road trip has once again ended in tears. The whole trip just seemed flat footed, we got a couple of wins but let's be honest we should have been aiming to win them all, especially at this point of the season. I've said it a few times already and I find myself once again repeating myself (I'm not even drunk yet), the Lakers need to start taking this seriously. Playoffs are too close for this amateur hour we can't just sit around and hope we repeat the championship we need to actually step forward and do it.
It's not all doom and gloom let's take a look at a few bright spots. The major thing I noticed was Phil's tinkering and adjusting of the rotation. Phil was keeping the bench playing a lot longer than he normally does and at points down the stretch the bench definitely stayed on the court longer than usual. Is this Phil feeling out the team from all angles while the games aren't really important? I think so, the playoff spot is secured and we are in a strong position for the number one seed. The more Phil can utilize all the players on the team the better he can coach them. We are a stronger team when the coach is aware of all aspects of the team and you can only find that out by trying different mixtures. A rut can be a very dangerous problem indeed, you know Denver are studying the tapes!
So let's hope that Phil knows what he was doing, I just don't know if ten championships is enough experience. I think we will just to have to hold our collective breath and wait and see.
