as long as the magic have a healthy grant hill, they are a damn good team. if the last quack to operate on him finally got it right, then they'll scrap for a finals spot in the east with indiana and detroit. it doesn't hurt that howards already a league leader in rebounds and r.o.y. candidate either.
i'm saying this to point out that the lakers are losing to good teams. there's no shame in that, especially while your adjusting to an entirely new team thats missing pieces. if you watch any of the lakers games in their entirety, you'll see stretches where they pass the ball around like no other team in the league. it's beautiful basketball, and as the season goes on, those stretches will.... stretch.
i love how they scrap too.... they get way more fired up when they need to..... i guess thats a reflection of rudy, who sometimes looks like an 80's wrestling manager, a la jimmy heart.
vlade's coming back in a month or so, and we could hear from malone any day now. the lakers are on the rise and any team playing them better bring their AAA game.
