Q-1

For this blog it is a choice blog. This blog I am going to talk about the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are led by Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum. Everyone is saying that the Lakers suck, but people don’t know that this Laker team has potential to rise during the playoffs. This team has experience and they have been in the playoffs before, you can even ask Kobe (5 championships). Andrew Bynum is an upcoming superstar. He is only 24 years old and he had the first triple double for a center in 20 years since David Robinson. Andrew had 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks against Denver in game 2. They won the game, but it had to go to a seven game series failing to close game 6 at Denver.  The reason why people say the Lakers sucks is, because they can’t close game when the time comes to close them. I find that reason is garbage. Kobe is 33 years old. He cannot do it all on his own! He needs help from Gasol and Sessions. Gasol is not the player he was when he first came to the Lakers. He doesn’t look like the old Gasol that played at Memphis. He is one of the softest players to play the power forward spot and you cannot be soft at the power forward spot. You have to set the tone and be physical. You need to get double doubles each game you play and play like a beast. I think we need a better small forward also. Metta World Peace can play good at times, but it seems like he would be a better player coming off the bench as an energizer. Overall, the Lakers will have a lot of rebuilding to do when Kobe retires.
