Thank god that's over.
This was a tough team to root for for most of the season. They just don't listen to anything....ever. It's a bunch of sullen brats that just do whatever the hell they want.
They're old and stubborn. Gasol needs to go. His play since the AS break has been embarassing. Fisher needs to go as well; Kobe Bryant cannot be expected to cover Fisher defensively anymore and still contribute offensively. Fisher's defense has degraded to the point that it detrimentaly impacts the Lakers offense - that can't happen.
They're probably stuck with Artest. Fortunately Odom is cheap so he's worth his contract. He's still dumb as a rock, but at least he doesn't cost much. Blake and Barnes were major disappointments this season, but I wonder how much of that was injury related. I also wonder what the hell happened to Brown.
They played so far below their talent this season that I'm mostly just glad to see the season done with. The way they sent Jackson out is embarassing, but it's clear that Jackson needed to go. Further, I think it's also pretty apparent that Shaw isn't the answer either, not if this is how he's 'assisted' Jackson this year. I think they should consider Byron Scott, personally.
